Beach days done properly in Nassau & Paradise Island

Looking for your next perfect beach-based getaway? Nassau & Paradise Island in The Bahamas strike that rare balance of easy-going beach life and genuinely memorable experiences. One minute you’re stretched out on powder-soft sand with a cold drink in hand, the next you’re snorkelling above coral reefs or wandering through centuries-old landmarks. Whether it’s your first visit to The Bahamas or a return trip for some winter sun, this part of the island delivers far more than just good weather.

Beach days done properly in Nassau & Paradise Island

From Cabbage Beach to Love Beach

Every beach here has its own personality. Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island is probably the best known, with bright turquoise water and a long sweep of white sand that’s ideal for morning walks or a swim before lunch. Over in Nassau, Cable Beach brings a more polished feel, thanks to its line-up of luxury resorts and waterfront restaurants where you can settle in for fresh seafood and sunset cocktails. If you prefer somewhere quieter, Love Beach is a favourite with locals for its laid-back atmosphere and snorkelling spots just offshore, while Junkanoo Beach keeps things lively with beach bars, music drifting through the air, and easy access from downtown Nassau.

Beyond the sunlounger

There’s no shortage of ways to get out on the water here. Boat trips to Blue Lagoon Island and Sandy Toes Rose Island are particularly popular, combining beach time with snorkelling stops in clear, shallow water that’s perfect for swimming. Around Rose Island, colourful reef systems attract tropical fish and make for excellent diving and snorkelling excursions. For something slower paced, paddleboarding through Paradise Lagoon or kayaking around the mangroves offers a quieter side to the islands that many visitors miss.

 

A different side to Nassau & Paradise Island

Away from the beaches and boat trips, Clifton Heritage National Park gives visitors a deeper look at the islands’ past through walking trails, coastal scenery, and historic ruins tied to Lucayan, African, and colonial history. Just offshore, the Clifton Sculpture Garden adds something completely unexpected to the experience - an underwater gallery where snorkellers and divers can weave between striking sculptures surrounded by coral and marine life.

3 different ways to experience Malta

A short break to Malta can look very different depending on how you like to travel. You could check into a five-star hotel and build your days around art, architecture, and Michelin-starred dining. You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizz, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use Valletta as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.

From its impressive fortifications to its lively restaurant scene, Valletta brings together centuries of history and a distinctly Mediterranean way of life, making it ideal for visitors who want more from a short break than simply sightseeing.
