Explore the real Nassau
Bursting at the seams with culture and history, the island of Nassau is well worth exploring either on foot or by road. From national parks, to white-sand beaches, and not forgetting those traditional rum houses.
The Bahamas, the definition of paradise
700 islands and thousands of cays spread out over about 500 miles of turquoise water in the Atlantic ocean, starting just 50 miles southeast of the coast of Florida, and of course a whole lot of white sand beach, colourful houses and a wealth of marine life.

Dive among the natural beauty
With coral reefs galore nestled between the many islands, go beneath the surface and explore the colourful beauty. You might even be able to spot the friendly tiger sharks, elegant sting rays, or even turtles.
Rose-tinted sands
You got it, Pink Sands Beach is known for its pretty-pink hues under the Bahamian sun. What couldn’t there be to admire against the backdrop of the turquoise sea, and the warm orange glow of the sun.
Ride the slides
Get your adrenaline pumping on the waterslides at Atlantis Bahamas, Paradise Island. From the dare-devil Leap of Faith slide, to the more chilled splash pools and lazy rivers, it’s fun for all here.

Local information
Local transport
You can hire a car to get around Nassau, but taxis are easy to arrange and a more convenient way to get around. Heading to another island? You’ll need to sort out a boat or air transfer.
Local currency
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is the national currency, and the US Dollar is also accepted in most places in the Bahamas.
Electricity
In the Bahamas, the electricity supply is usually 120 volts. Plug types used are the 2-pin flat blade, and a 220-volt converter.
