ISLAND
NASSAU + PARADISE ISLAND HOTELS
A trip to Nassau & Paradise Island is a popular choice because it’s a quick jaunt. The international airport on Nassau is less than 200 miles off the coast of the US, so it is one of the top destinations our Caribbean Specialists consider for clients looking for a weekend getaway to the beach.
Primarily known as a destination of good-times, Nassau and Paradise Island are home to a few luxury hotels that provide the perfect place to hideout and relax, away from the action. When you consider you can be unpacked and relaxing on your private beachfront balcony within 5 or 6 hours after you wake up that morning, the appeal for this destination only grows.
Nassau is steeped in history and it’s easy to spend a day getting lost in its storied past while you explore the island on a moped or with a private tour guide. The most notable heirloom leftover from the days when The Bahamas were are British Colony, is the continued practice of afternoon tea. Full tea service is offered at most hotels and some restaurants every afternoon. Another noteworthy contribution to the local culinary scene is the wine luncheon hosted at a historic cellar that boasts over 250,000 bottles from 400 vintners. These are just a few of the food & wine activities available on the island and offered as add-ons to your Caribbean Journey trip itinerary.
