Whether it's your nuptials or a vacation with the kids, Nassau Paradise Island is the perfect venue in which to celebrate special moments.
For couples who decide to exchange vows in Nassau Paradise Island, the hard part is behind them because everything about the island makes wedding planning a snap.
They even have a Weddings and Honeymoon Unit of the Ministry of Tourism to assist couples with organizing their ceremony. They'll act as a liaison between you and the on-island wedding consultants to ensure that you have the ceremony of your dreams.
Selecting a venue might be the most difficult part of the planning process. Couples can choose from intimate boutique properties such as the Graycliff Hotel to luxury, couples-only retreats such as Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort or the One&Only Ocean Club.
At each, couples will be able to choose from a variety of wedding packages that can be tailored to suit individual tastes and budgets.
Beyond the venue, other things to consider include securing a marriage license, whether you can get married on the same day you arrive in the Bahamas (the answer is a resounding, "No") and what steps must be taken to ensure that your marriage is legal once you arrive home. Luckily, wedding consultants stand at the ready to assist.
For those already with the kiddies running on their own, Nassau Paradise Island with its array of family-friendly accommodations and activities is the perfect place to bring them.
For starters, there's Atlantis Resort with its waterpark to end all waterparks: a 141-acre world of aquatic fun with high-speed water slides, 20 swimming areas, a water fort for little ones, 11 swimming pools and a mile-long river ride that features rapids and rolling waves.

Other popular family activities on site include Dolphin Cay, a state-of-the-art marine habitat dedicated to the conservation and rehabilitation of these unique animals.
Families will also appreciate the multitude of family-friendly reports, such as the Comfort Suites Paradise Island, which offers affordable accommodations and full access to all the amenities offered at the Atlantis Resort, including Aquaventure, and the Melia Nassau Beach All-Inclusive.
Located on Cable Beach, Melia Nassau Beach provides families with a variety of activities, including water sports, and is conveniently located close enough to downtown to allow for some easy excursions to the Straw Market and other points of interest. And, when parents (and kids) need a break, the resort features a supervised Kid's Club and a Kids Pool.
For a bit of adventure, even the littlest mateys will want to walk the plank at the Pirates of Nassau, an interactive museum in the heart of Nassau. Kids can imagine how it was to sail the high seas as they climb aboard the replica of the Revenge. Arrrrr!
Ardastra Gardens & Zoo is popular among locals and visitors, alike. Ardastra, which was built in the 1950s, features lush gardens filled with tropical plants and trees, as well as a collection of more than 135 animals. One of the most popular attractions would be the famous Caribbean flamingos. Be sure to stop by to see the daily shows, where they parade on command and even complete a variety of turns.
No family trip to the Bahamas would be complete without a little adventure on the big blue sea. Snorkeling is a great option for older kids, and they can experience the wonder of the oceans for themselves as they feed stingrays and even sharks. Various operators, such as Powerboat Adventures, offer high-speed rides and the chance to explore a private island.
