My trip to the Bahamas in June began in style with a 10 hour flight to Nassau in Club Class with BA. The islands offer a fantastic range of hotels offering secluded and idyllic holidays.
The new Cove Atlantis, despite its 600 suites manages to feel like a boutique hotel; the highlight was Cain, the adult-only pool with luxurious private cabanas, great music, and a Miami vibe. If you’re looking for a haven of calm try the One&Only Ocean Club with its impressively manicured gardens. Sample the delicious cocktails served in the beachfront bar for the perfect end to the day in this wonderfully comfortable establishment. If you get the chance, make sure you go on a boat trip to Stocking Island where you can while away the day swimming, snorkeling and sampling the delicious Bahama Mama cocktails.
The private island hideaway of Kamalame Cay can be reached by a short plane ride in your own six seater plane. The Robinson Crusoe-style island has just 19 rooms and suites and one four bedroom villa. It really is the perfect place to escape and unwind; the atmosphere is relaxed, and as the resort is all inclusive, everything you could want is on hand.
The fabulous pink sand beach on Harbour Island is another highly recommended place to visit. Coral Sands Hotel is decorated in a colonial style whilst Pink Sands has more of a contemporary feel. The two bedroom beach house at Coral Sands, designed by Barbara Hulanicki, is the perfect place for a relaxing break.
