Holidays to Bahamas

The Bahamas are a sprawling tropical paradise made up of over 2000 islands and cays. The tropical location means the islands have a mild spring-like climate all year round. Each of the islands has a unique character, offering everything from jet skiing to diving with dolphins.

The islands are famed for their sparkling sandy beaches, where bright white sands meet impossibly clear turquoise seas. To find the very best picture-book beaches, Icelolly recommends heading for the ‘Out Islands’, affectionately known as the ‘Family Islands’ by the locals. Away from the tourist hubs of Grand Bahama and New Providence Island, these smaller islands offer a cheaper, friendlier more relaxing way to soak up the Caribbean sun.
