    Nassau / Paradise Island, Bahamas

Bahamas in pictures - Nassau / Paradise Island

  • Nassau / Paradise Island

    The island of New Providence has earned the popularity as a must to pass by and see for any visitor from abroad. Despite its extremely modest size - 145 miles², the island is home to 2 / 3 of the population concentrated around Nassau. A city constructed to a human scale, the capital still has many colonial houses and relics telling its British past. It also offers a strange mix of mercantilism with American and English atmosphere and tropical nonchalance. You should quickly visit the city, including the main thoroughfare, Bay Street, which has been besieged by passengers on cruise ships who go there to stop regularly. The island of New Providence is not only essential from a practical point of view - its international airport serves as a hub for the company Bahamasair - but also because it is home to some beautiful beaches and attractions that deserve a look, Cable Beach, the local Riviera: a long beach lined with large hotel complexes. To the east of the capital, linked by a paid-crossing bridge, the small island of Paradise Island lies where one of the most spectacular hotels in the world is located: the Atlantis complex. This impressive building of 2,300 rooms is home to many aquatic attractions - parks, slides, marinas - particularly worth noting is the largest tropical aquarium on the planet, that you can visit without being necessarily staying at the hotel.

Destination overview

From the royal blue waters of the Exuma Sound to the crystal-clear green waters of Grand Bahama Island, the Bahamas archipelago includes 29 islands, 661 cays and 2,387 islets (rocks). Magnificent beaches of fine sand, accompanied by lush landscapes, give the destination a postcard appeal. The scenery is fantastic, both on land and underwater. The Bahamian ecosystem offers more than a thousand diving sites whether you scuba dive or just use a mask and snorkel. The Bahamas also provide some of life's little pleasures: feet in the sand, a glass of rum, good seafood, and the smile and warmth of the Bahamian people.

pros

  •  The warm transparent sea, omnipresent sunshine, and magnificent beaches.
  •  A high-quality tourist infrastructure.

cons

  •  Prices are adapted to the purchasing power of American or English tourists, which can seem expensive.
  •  The Bahamas are mostly a destination for leisure and relaxation; people looking for cultural activities will be disappointed.
  •  There is the risk of cyclones between June and November (maximum risk from August to October).

Bahamas Travel guide

Bahamas Holidays in Bahamas, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

As far as possible, avoid snorkelling and scuba diving alone (always anticipate a third party being at the place you are diving in). Wear a t-shirt while snorkelling or put on plenty of sun cream to protect yourself from sunstroke. Never do any scuba diving 24h before a flight.
When moving around the archipelago, take a photocopy of your passport with you.
If you would like to meet the Bahamians, there is an interesting meeting programme called "people to people". This will allow you to spend a day with the inhabitants of New Providence, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, the Exumas, the Abacos, the Biminis and San Salvador.
During your stay, do not miss:
- The opening of the High Court: 4 times a year (January, April, July and October), the opening of the High Court sessions gives rise to a superb procession in Nassau.
- The guard change at the Governor's Palace takes place on Nassau once every two Saturdays.
