Close your eyes and dream of lounging on your own secret sandbar enjoying a romantic picnic; around you stretch miles of powder-white sand and turquoise waters. Where are you? You’re tucked away in the 700-island archipelago called the Bahamas.
The size and diversity of The Bahamas are still its best kept secrets. With 16 major islands, the Bahamas sit in 500 miles of the world’s clearest waters. Its beaches are breathtaking; some graced with pink sand, their emerald and turquoise waters caressing the shores.
No two islands of the Bahamas are alike; each has its own vibe and offers a unique experience. How about spending a day with the world-famous swimming pigs? Snorkel the clear waters off Exuma, or visit the Andros where a local guide can teach you how to catch an elusive fish.
There is an island that caters to whatever you desire! A stroll through the craft market, a visit to souvenir shops, enjoying exquisite island cuisine at a local Nassau restaurant, playing a game of golf, visiting to one of the many casinos and of course, getting to know the Bahamian people!
The Bahamas is easy to escape to. You can fly into any one of its 20 international airports or simply jet over to the capital, Nassau, and from there have quick access to other islands in the family chain.
Whether planning a grand or intimate affair, the Bahamas has it all for couples looking for a romantic wedding destination. Mesmerizing sunsets, even pink sand beaches, sandbars, crystal-clear waters … The Bahamas takes you way beyond what you can imagine.
