There’s never been a better time to visit the Bahamas. The archipelago
is a wonderland of pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise-blue waters
blessed with an intriguing mix of culture and history.
Moreover, vacationers in
the destination have a number of iconic, feature-filled properties from which
to select a deluxe experience.
Reaching the archipelago has seldom been easier as airline
links to the capital city of Nassau have
expanded in recent weeks. JetBlue’s addition of a daily route from Boston to
Nassau, and Delta’s increase of flights to Nassau
with new nonstop service from New York, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit and Minneapolis,
have augmented American Airlines’ three daily departures from Miami to Marsh
Harbour and North Eleuthera.
Beginning on February 14, American will launch the only
regularly scheduled nonstop service from the United States to Bimini. Operating
three times weekly (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays), the service will offer
travelers a convenient gateway from Miami to both North and South Bimini, “out”
islands known for their beaches, marine life, fishing, snorkeling, and relaxed
island culture.
Eleuthera is another relaxed out island in the Bahamian
chain. On January 31, the Eleuthera Food & Craft Festival will bring
together the island’s vibrant local culture for one memorable day. Visitors can
explore handcrafted goods from talented local artisans, enjoy delicious native
food and drinks, and experience live entertainment, including a Bahamian band
and a lively Junkanoo performance.
Several deals are available for stays at Bahamas resorts. At
Grand Isle Resort & Residences, “New Year, New You” packages include a $150
spa credit at Seastar Spa, luxurious accommodations with private balconies and
stunning views, and daily wellness activities including water aerobics, fitness
center access, and two pools—one infinity and one adult-exclusive for guests
who book a minimum four-night stay.
Guests who book a minimum four-night stay at Rosewood Baha
Mar receive up to 30 percent off select suites, complete with dedicated butler service,
a welcome drink, garment pressing, and poolside cabana or daybed credit of up
to $300 per stay. The property’s sumptuous suites, luxurious amenities, and
curated dining experiences create an ideal romantic retreat for couples seeking
elegance, comfort and unforgettable memories in paradise.
