This is your clients’ passport to paradise

Rich culture and history are woven into Nassau & Paradise Island’s fabric. Once a hub for pirates like the infamous Blackbeard, Nassau thrived during the American Revolution and prohibition era before gaining independence in 1973. Clients can learn about its chequered military, trade and smuggling past at various historical sights, from the 18th-century Queen’s Staircase, carved by hand in limestone, to the impressive Charlotte and Fincastle forts, which command sweeping harbour views. 

Downtown, suggest clients explore the colonial architecture or browse handmade treasures at the famous Straw Market. For an insight into local life, time a visit around Junkanoo, The Bahamas’ most exuberant celebration, when Bay Street bursts into life with dancing, drumming and kaleidoscopic costumes on Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and most Saturdays during summer.

Non-stop fun

Clients who are always on the go or have kids with unbridled energy will enjoy Nassau & Paradise Island’s activities to the fullest. They can try yoga with resident flamingos at Baha Mar, tee off at the esteemed Ocean Club Golf Course or snorkel above the world’s largest underwater sculpture, Ocean Atlas, at Clifton Heritage National Park or the rainbow coral reefs at Cable Beach. 

Rest assured that everyone is catered for in Nassau & Paradise Island: families can make a splash at waterparks like Baha Bay or Margaritaville’s Fins Up, which offer slides and splash areas for little ones, while couples looking to get away from it all might prefer sunset paddleboarding or a kayak tour. 

And for adults on their own, John Watling’s Distillery, set within the 18th-century Buena Vista Estate, will guide them through how rum is made, with plenty of tastings along the way. It’s not just their days that will be filled with experiences either – evenings in Nassau & Paradise Island bring late-night music, bars and casinos at Atlantis, Baha Mar and downtown Nassau, so clients can make the most of every minute. 

On the menu

From fine dining to beach-side bites, Nassau & Paradise Island’s culinary offering will set taste buds tingling. The region is home to a range of acclaimed restaurants led by celebrity chefs, such as Nobu and Fish by José Andrés at Atlantis Paradise Island, and Dune by Jean-Georges at The Ocean Club. 

At Baha Mar, Café Boulud and Carna hit the spot for an upmarket dinner, while for local flavours, point clients towards spots like Bimini Road and Knosh food truck, where they can try specialities such as conch fritters and jerk chicken. There’s also the annual the Nassau & Paradise Island Wine and Food Festival each March, which brings together world-renowned chefs, award-winning wines and live entertainment.
