Flights to the Bahamas

Imagine over 700 islands scattered like emeralds across the vast Atlantic Ocean - you can call this the Bahamas, an island nation just north of Cuba and southeast of Florida. It's a truly legendary destination if you're a beach lover and nature enthusiast.

The Bahamas were originally inhabited by the Lucayan people, a tribe of Arawak Indians, then eventually it was claimed by Spain in the late 15th century. It became a haven for pirates in the 16th century, was a British colony in the 17th century, and finally gained its independence in 1973. Today, it's one of the world's most popular vacation spots - visitors are drawn to its remarkably beautiful beaches that are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving!

Out of the hundreds of islands that make up the Bahamas, only 30 are inhabited with the most visited being New Providence, Paradise Island, Grand Bahama, The Abacos, Eleuthera and Harbour Island.

Of the hundreds of islands in the Bahamas, you'll find Nassau, the capital of this idyllic nation, on New Providence Island. It's a small island that's only 21 miles long and 7 miles wide, but it still packs a punch!

In Nassau, you'll find a colourful city centre only a short distance from outstanding beaches and crystal-clear waters, as well as easy access to exhilarating day trips and adventures on other popular nearby islands. Pirates once dominated Nassau's harbour - you can see evidence of their presence if you visit the island's historical forts like Fort Fincastle and Fort Charlotte, both standing guard over the harbour.

The Bahamas kindly offers its visitors warm temperatures all year round, but the best time to visit is during its dry season from November to May. You can expect plenty of sunshine and very little rain! The easiest way to get to Nassau is by booking flights to Lynden Pindling International Airport, located just outside of the city. It's a major hub for the Caribbean islands and a gateway into the region.
