Bahamas
It is believed that Christopher Columbus first arrived on the Bahamian island of San Salvador in 1492 , followed by the British in 1697! ( We know a good thing when we see it!).
Due to its long history with Great Britain even today the Bahamas continues to be very 'British'.
Though the Bahamas consist of thousands of islands, only a handful get any real attention from tourists. New Providence Island is home to Nassau, the capital. It’s also where you’ll find the world-famous Atlantis resort. Grand Bahama is best known for its amazing underwater cave systems.
Many cruise lines own and operate private resort islands as well. Most of the islands in the Bahamas are long, flat coral reef formations.
If you’d like to visit the Bahamas, the best time is generally between late December and early May. You can fill your days lazing on the famous pink beaches, boating around the islands, noshing on cracked conch, enjoying the local rum and splashing about in the year-round 80-degree clear blue waters.
What is not to like?
Turks & Caicos
Although often overshadowed by their closest neighbour, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a charming island chain offering a more authentic "deserted island" feel than any other in the Caribbean.
The vast majority of visitors are lured by the island chain's incredible, pristine beaches.
Like any Caribbean holiday destination, Turks and Caicos is home to several world-class resorts, but it's also characterised by quaint, charming inns that offer surprising levels of personalised service.
With friendly locals, gorgeous year-round weather and some of the warmest, most vibrantly turquoise waters in the Caribbean, the Turks and Caicos deserve to be on everyone's must-visit list.
