Bahamas honeymoon packages are available to help you not only save money but also capitalize on all the islands have to offer.

The Bahamas are an island nation made up of over 700 sprawling islands nestled in the heart of the Caribbean. While there are an overabundance of islands the majority of them are mostly uninhabited. The main hubs of tourism are confined to Nassau/Paradise Island, Grand Bahama Island, Abaco Island, Biminis, Eleuthera Island, Fowl Cay and Great Exuma Island. The major airports for the Bahamas are located in Nassau, Freeport (on Grand Bahama Island) and Georgetown (on Great Exuma Island). Other islands or locations for the Bahamas can be reached by charter plane, boat or helicopter. Some honeymoon packages will also include travel to far off locations, should your resort be “off the beaten path”.

Leading the pack with respects to luxury accommodations in the Caribbean are The Sandals Resorts. Sandals offer Bahamas honeymoon packages that rival the best of what’s around. The good people at Sandals have been going above and beyond when it comes to luxury in the Caribbean for decades. Sandals offers two resorts in the Bahamas. The first offering is the “Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa” located in Nassau. This resort is their first offering to the Bahamas located on the most popular of the Bahamian islands Nassau. The second resort Sandals has established is the “Sandals Emerald Bay” located on Great Exuma Island (the Exumas). Both facilities offer top of the line accommodations, all inclusive packages, five star restaurants, butler service, pools, azure beaches, golf, room service and more. While the facilities offer both all inclusive and non all inclusive options the all inclusive option is more alluring and allows you to fully experience the grandeur and opulence the way the resort intended. The Nassau facility, as we established, is located on the larger Nassau/Paradise Island. This facility will be readily accessible, while simultaneously offering nightlife and shopping options on the nearby mainland. The Emerald Bay facility located in the Exumas is ideal for those who truly want to “get away from it all”. The Emerald Bay facility is tucked away on the remote Exuma Islands creating the feeling of being detached from the hustle and bustle of normal life. While these facilities are luxurious and exotic they do not come cheap. An average week long stay at on an off peak time run anywhere from $4,000 - $9,000 including airfare.

One of the other top resorts offering Bahamas honeymoon packages is the “One and Only Ocean Club”. This sprawling facility is located on Paradise Island in Nassau. This facility has been named as the #1 Spa locations in the Caribbean. They specialize in and offer an array of spa related services that are second to none. The amenities of this facility include numerous pools, dining locations, bars, golf, and recreation. Much like the Sandals resorts the “One and Only” offers luxury on top of beauty. The grounds of the resort are landscaped impeccably only adding to the tranquility and beauty of your honeymoon setting.

The Bahamas offers an abundance of honeymoon options. There are numerous islands to choose from each offering their own twist on paradise. Bahamas honeymoon packages are available at most resorts but may take a little searching (and money) to find the one that best suites your needs. The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to please anyone but yourself.
