4-Day Bahamas Weekend Getaway: Our favorite itinerary for luxury resorts beaches, and must-see sights around Nassau & Exuma.
Weekend trips are the best, they offer just enough time to unplug and come home feeling refreshed. So open your calendar and put on your out-of-office because you’re going to the Bahamas!
Why choose the Bahamas for a weekend vacation?
For one, it’s an easy and short flight from many major US cities. And second, the variety! The Bahamas are made up of 700 islands and cays with breathtaking turquoise waters and white powdery sand. Each island is unique and has its own “personality”, from the vibrant vibes of Nassau to the secluded sandbars of the Exumas. Whether you’re looking for luxurious resorts, a little adventure, or culture, the Bahamas is the place to be.
