If you experience a feeling of “deja-vu” in The Bahamas during your honeymoon, it’s no coincidence. There is plenty to hint of its British heritage, from the classical architecture of Nassau, the capital city, to the afternoon tea service offered at some of the country’s finest resorts. It’s difficult not to feel at home here when there is so much of Britain around every corner. But here, it is blended with its West African roots and its notorious pirate history. The result is a destination that is unlike any other.

For honeymooning couples, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on whether you’re in the mood to chill or to have a thrill, you’ll find the perfect Bahamas honeymoon package. Choose a grand scale resort with everything in one place, or an intimate inn on a quiet island that feels like your very own.

The Bahamas has a distinct culture permeates every aspect of Bahamian life. When it comes to music, tap your foot to native island beats at a local bar, or hear it at a popular club where new world tunes meet the quintessential rhythms of Bahamas African heritage. Shop the markets for handicrafts that have been influenced by the early Indian tribes of Bahamas, and nibble your way through tropical fruits and rum cake produced locally. Get up close to authentic Bahamian life for a true appreciation of what the islands offer. That also means walking over sugary fine white sand and into the turquoise waters that have enchanted visitors for centuries.
