Bahamas

Named from the Spanish baja mar, meaning 'shallow sea', the Bahamas is blessed with clear, turquoise waters that are home to ancient shipwrecks and a rainbow of coral reefs teeming with fish. Over 700 palm-fringed islands are scattered like jewels over 1,500 square miles of tropical sea in the north of the Caribbean covering 5,382 square miles of land in total.

The highest point in the entire archipelago is just over 200 ft. But despite this the character of each island is as individual and unique as each of the people who live here. The quiet coves, sheltered bays and crowd-free beaches of the Bahamas offer visitors the intimacy of secluded retreats and pastel-coloured seashells and clapboard houses painted in bubblegum hues compete with the natural vibrant blooms.

Holidays in Bahamas. Those choosing a holiday in the Bahamas will find many unspoiled coastal stretches with empty beaches offering total tranquillity with the only distraction being the occasional squawking of an exotic bird and gently lapping waves. Most islands have bustling straw markets there you can haggle over spices, ceramics, handicrafts and local art and the clear seas offer the best in diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and parasailing.

Sport and Culture in the Bahamas. For landlubbers why not take to the fairways of a world-class golf course for ocean-facing holes. Bahamian bars and clubs pulsate with island rhythms, from pumping goombay and calypso to Junkanoo beats. Discover riotous dance festivals that mix African slave-trade rituals with Bahamian tempo and American hip-hop twists. Or experience the age-old traditions and legends of the islands at local cultural celebrations amidst costumes, food and song.
