Jamaica
Jamaica is considered to be one of the most special places on earth. Each year, visitors let themselves immerse in this unique culture. They come here attracted by the Jamaican art, as unique as each sunset and as diverse as Jamaican people.
Truly a nation “out of many, one people” Jamaica is a multifaceted mosaic of international customs and traditions. Jamaican ancestors, from continents like Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, have helped to shape an original culture, creating what today is uniquely Jamaican. When visiting this island home, visitors usually take their time to experience the originality of this culture. This is what sets Jamaica apart from other Caribbean destinations. The spirit of the island is to take your time to reason with a Rastafarian about life, love or politics. Or simply to lose yourself in the rhythms and movements of a people who still refuse to be constrained.
There are many theatres and stage shows to visit and delight in the performing arts, showcasing everything from Jonkonnu to jazz. If the tourist want to dance, he only must join in the wild revelry of Carnival and Augus' Mawnin or just follow the reggae beat, pulsing from street corners and rum bars island wide. After that, he might share a meal with natives – ackee and saltfish with roast breadfruit, escoveitched fish, bammy and festival – their epicurean feasts will tantalize your taste buds for sure. In Jamaica, you'll discover new worlds, and familiar ones too, lots to learn about, and even more to love. The Jamaicans proudly call their country ‘the biggest little island in the world'. And they act like this is very true.
Nassau
The city of Nassau is known to be the bustling hub of The Bahamas since the shipwrecking days of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Prized for its sheltered harbour, the city made history and preserved it beautifully in Victorian mansions, cathedrals, 18th-century fortresses and a Queen's Staircase whose 66 steps lead to a view not to be missed.
Nassau is home to weather-beaten, ancient forts; elegant, noble architecture; and fine local and international crafts and goods, from handmade lengths of batik to Rolex watches. An abundance of posh resort hotels, casinos, cabaret shows, and cruise ship docks make Nassau a vibrant center for entertainment as well as commerce.
Harbour Island
Rated as one of the "Best Bahamas Beaches" by the likes of Fodors, Frommers and The Travel Channel, Harbour Island Bahamas is famous for its three and a half miles of hard packed picture perfect pink sand beaches. Warm clear ocean waters provide excellent diving, fishing and boating while outlying reefs provide safe swimming and snorkeling. The people are friendly and the island is easy to navigate. Golf cart rentals, the transportation of choice, makes touring the island both fun and relaxing.
If you are looking for some of the best restaurants the Bahamas has to offer, Harbour Island is the place to be. Choices are plentiful and menus range from fine cuisine at The Landing to delicious local fare at Ma Ruby's. Most offer a casual Bahamian atmosphere and unforgettable views of the island and its tropical surroundings.
Basic to luxurious accommodations vary from fine resorts and hotels to charming vacation home rentals, houses, villas and cottages. Many of these are located directly on Harbour Island's beach offering breathtaking views of the ocean while others are located in and around Dunmore Town on the tranquil side of the ocean or in the interior of the island. No matter where you stay, you are always minutes from the beach.
Port Lucaya
Many tourists love to escape to this tropical enclave overlooking a multi-million dollar marina. Perched on a peninsula surrounded by crystal blue waters, The Port Lucaya Resort is where anyone can find relaxation, fun and sunny pleasures located in the heart of the Port Lucaya area.
Tourists enjoy memorable deep sea fishing & diving adventures, snorkeling, pristine beaches, shopping, dining, casinos and vibrant nightlife. Or they can discover new pleasures in the tropical paradise that surrounds them as they swim with the dolphins or go jet skiing.
Paradise Island
The vibrant Bahamian capital is located on New Providence Island, though you'll hardly ever hear that name used by anyone other than the locals. This isn't the largest of the Bahamian Islands, but it's the cultural, political, and historic heart of the nation, steeped in a long maritime tradition. Visitors are surrounded by British forts, colonial homes, and many beachfront mega-resorts. Nature and outdoor activities call from every direction, inviting you to frolic with a dolphin and pet a flamingo or even a stingray.
Golfers are treated to a nirvana of their own, with seaside championship courses, while scuba divers thrill to world-class diving. Anglers may get the best of this "paradise island," with a mile-deep drop in the natural shelf just five miles out from shore that allows for deep-sea fishing just 15 minutes after leaving dock. Casinos, nightclubs, restaurants, pristine beaches, colonial history, exotic culture, unbeatable bargain shopping, the incomparable sun, sea, and sand.
Deadmans Reef
South Crescent Bay offers a protected cove area where tourists peacefully enjoy Bahamas sun and magnificent landscape of the Deadmans Reef. This reef is an ideal habitat for the area's marine life. The beach is incredible and attracts every year lot of ocean lovers.
