Situated off the southeastern coast of Florida and consisting of a group of around 700 different islands and cays, the Bahamas offer the traveller an incredible range of experiences. Featuring glamorous and secluded residential estates, fantastic hotel complexes with fun-packed entertainment programmes amid luxuriously landscaped gardens and pool areas, not to mention the colonial charm of the 18th century architecture, there is plenty to distract you from the major attraction which brings visitors here from all over the world: nature. All the islands are low and flat, but some have pine forests, others limestone caves or lush plantations. You will find here bonefishing flats, the world’s third-largest barrier reef and miles and miles of stunning white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

The Bahamas has been an independent country since 1973, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Political and legal traditions closely follow those of the United Kingdom, and the Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, represented by a Bahamian governor-general. Its history of colonization began in the 7th century, by a group of peoples known as Lucayans, who came to the islands from Cuba and Hispaniola. In 1492 when Christopher Columbus first landed in the New World, he made contact with these Lucayans on the island now known as San Salvador. Later, after the gradual eradication of these indigenous people, the islands were eventually occupied first by English settlers, then pirates including the infamous Blackbeard, and in the 18th century by a number of Americans who established plantations on several out islands.

The closest island to the United States is Bimini, which is also known as the gateway to the Bahamas. The island of Aboco is to the east of Grand Bahama. The most southeastern island is Great Inagua. Other notable islands include the Bahamas' largest island, Andros Island, and Eleuthera, Cat Island, Long Island, San Salvador Island, Acklins, Crooked Island, Exuma and Mayaguana. Nassau, the Bahamas capital city, lies on the island of New Providence.

The Bahamas need to be experienced under water, whether in the Atlantis Resort’s popular underwater passage or by getting wet and taking the plunge. The scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing and submarine facilities are incomparable and if there is a place in the world where it is worth your while having a go, then this is it. Excellent safety measures ensure that no previous experience is required. Apart from the ubiquitous and highly recommended offers of island tours – opportunities to explore by boat some of the pristine, untouched and utterly beautiful bays and beaches of the archipelago – there are several attractions on offer, particularly on Nassau/ Paradise Island, if you can tear yourself away from the ocean for an hour or two. Visit also the Pompey and Junkanoo Museums, the wonderfully restored Balcony House, the Straw Market and the lively shopping areas of downtown Nassau. By night, head to the numerous clubs and taverns of New Providence and shake that bootie.

Although you can find almost any kind of international food in the Bahamas from Sushi to Lasagna, some dishes are unique to the islands, and should be sampled without fail: for seafood lovers there are various dishes involving conch, crawfish (rock lobster) and grouper or red snapper. A typical Bahamian meal consists of crab and rice, delicious steamed fish, served with baked macaroni and cheese and a good helping of potato salad. This is followed by desserts such as coconut or pineapple tart, bread pudding or guava duff, a delicious dessert that is made through a laborious process of folding the fruit into the dough and boiling. Delicious.
