Destination
Bahamas
The Bahamas is an archipelago of more than 700 islands and cays, offering powder‑soft white sands, clear turquoise seas and colourful coral reefs that invite snorkeling, while the laid‑back vibe of the settlements lets you linger over fresh seafood and local music.
Late winter to early spring brings gentle breezes, warm sunshine and calm waters that make swimming, sailing and exploring the reefs especially pleasant.
