Beautiful Bahamas

The Bahamas is comprised of 700 islands and over 2,000 rocks and cays, sprinkled over 100,000 square miles of ocean. The archipelago is an ecological oasis, boasting the clearest water on the planet.

I was lucky enough to visit two the Islands in the Bahamas, Nassau and Exuma. I visited in the month of September which is classed as hurricane season but we had wall to wall sunshine the whole time, with a temperature of around 30. The Bahamas is a magical place and Nassau is quite a contrast to Exuma.

First Stop Nassau. With the lure of a big city and the ease of tropical utopia, Nassau & Paradise Island are considered by many as, well, paradise. Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, is a bustling metropolitan hub full of culture and modern amenities. The island boasts resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops, nightlife, a golf course, an aquarium and a casino.

I stayed the Sandals Royal Bahamian which is a 5* all inclusive resort. The hotel boasts a beachfront location and a private island which is accessible by speed boat. There is an array of restaurants, bars , indulgent pool areas and beachfront whirl pools. The hotel has a lively atmosphere and hosts and excellent carnival evening once a week. I spent 4 nights at this resort before taking and inter island flight to Exuma.

With sapphire-blue water everywhere, The Exumas are an exotic collection of dream destinations. Footprint-free beaches, ultra-exclusive resorts, and islands fit for celebrities make this tropical paradise an absolute gem. Here, nature outnumbers man, coastlines remain flawless and private homes play host to some of the world’s most famous stars. The Exumas truly are the ultimate escape.

Here I was lucky enough to stay at the 5* all inclusive Sandals Emerald Bay Resort. This is a beautiful secluded resort with plenty of space and a range of room types to suits all. There is even the option to have your own private butler on hand 24/7. This hotel really is a tranquil oasis on one of the best beaches I have ever seen, a mile long with powder white sands which appear untouched. There are 11 restaurants on site, state or the art spa and an award winning Greg Normal championship golf course with views to die for. I spent a further 3 nights here before flying home with Virgin Atlantic via Miami.

I had the most fantastic memorable time with the Sandals Resorts in the Bahamas and would highly recommend the Bahamas and Sandals to everyone.

Bahamas you were amazing, I will be back.
