What Do I Need To Take?

To fully immerse yourself in your luxury Nassau & Paradise Island holiday, there’s a couple of items you should definitely pack in your suitcase. The most important is lightweight, breathable clothing and sandals for when you want to be comfy and cool.

Ample swimwear will be needed for lounging around the pool or visiting the beach, with many powdery shorelines, like Cove Beach and Cable Beach, located close to the luxury resorts. Make sure you have plenty of suitcase space left for glamorous eveningwear. If you’re planning to dine in a fancy restaurant or try your luck at the Atlantis or Baha Mar Casinos, you’ll need your gladrags.

Best Time To Visit

With a divine subtropical climate, Nassau & Paradise Island (the Bahamas) is an excellent choice for a holiday destination all year round. Expect 300 days of sunshine annually and an average temperature of 27℃ throughout most of the year, rising to the low-30s during the peak summer months. The best time to visit would be during the Caribbean’s dry season, which falls between December and April, perfect for escaping the grey UK in search of some winter sun and vitamin D. While the summer may see hotter temperatures, it is also the wet season, with hurricanes more frequent between August and November. You can still very much visit during this period, but it’s important to expect some rain, even in short bursts, and bring waterproof jackets that you can slip on and off while enjoying the sunshine. For holidaymakers looking for a budget-friendly escape to Nassau & Paradise Island, this time of year also presents more savings and amazing deals on flights and hotels as it is outside of the main tourist season.
