Feature Island


Regional Information

With over 700 large islands to choose from in the Bahamas, there's something for every holiday taste and budget. Private islands in the region are likely to be found on one of the 2500 cays dotting the Caribbean, like pearls on a necklace. The Bahamas is a tremendously popular destination for US jet setters. With its close proximity to most American cities, winter relief is never far away. People who visit the main islands are usually there for the world class casinos on Paradise island or the championship fairways of Grand Bahama. On a private island in the Bahamas, you can escape the high-rise hotels and package tour madness. Instead, explore a mangrove forest or snorkel over a coral reef.
