The Bahamas consists of over 700 exquisite islands, stretching over 100,000 square miles into the Western Atlantic. The clear emerald and turquoise waters lap along breathtaking beaches edged with miles of pale pink sand. Sun, sand, and sea are simply perimeters of the Islands of the Bahamas.

At the core of the islands, you will find friendly people and a way of living that is both timeless and new. Whether it is the rich pirate heritage of bustling Nassau, the international glamour and dazzling hotels of Paradise Island, or the sprawling resorts and secluded coves of Grand Bahama Island, travel to the Bahamas promises everything your heart desires.

Explore historical sites, enjoy duty free shopping, swim with friendly dolphins, partake in glamorous nightlife or lie on one of hundreds of pristine beaches. Whatever you desire is here in the Bahamas.

Catch the spirit in Nassau, the heart and hub of the Bahamas since the days of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Drenched in history, the city seduces visitors with its tropical splendor combined with glamorous shopping, gourmet dining and lively nightlife.
