During my summer vacation, I had the pleasure of staying at The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort in the Bahamas, and it was truly a slice of paradise. Located on Paradise Island, this resort is everything you’d expect from a luxury getaway and more. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning beachfront location, where crystal-clear turquoise waters meet soft, white sand. The lush, tropical gardens surrounding the resort added to the tranquil atmosphere, making it feel like a private oasis.
The rooms were spacious and elegantly designed, with a classic Bahamian vibe. My room had a private terrace overlooking the ocean, which quickly became my favorite spot for morning coffee. The service was impeccable—every staff member I encountered went out of their way to make sure my stay was perfect. The resort offers a range of activities, from water sports to tennis, but I spent most of my time lounging by the infinity pool, sipping on cocktails from the poolside bar.
Dining at the resort was another highlight. I had dinner at DUNE, the on-site restaurant by Jean-Georges, where the seafood was as fresh as it gets, and the views of the sunset were unforgettable. The nearby attractions are also worth mentioning—Atlantis is just a short drive away if you’re interested in some excitement, and Nassau’s downtown area is easily accessible for shopping and exploring local culture.
The only downside? The price. It’s definitely a splurge, but for the experience, it was worth every penny. I left The Ocean Club feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated, and I can’t wait to return. 🌴🏖️ #trip #OceanClubBahamas #LuxuryTravel #ParadiseIsland #BeachLife #FourSeasonsResort

Getting There - I think the best way is to Book a 🚢 Cruise ~ from Florida
Attractions - Beside the beautiful beach, I will suggest anyone to go to Aquaventure! you can bring all family there and you are going to have a fabulous and fun day!
Hotels - Bahama Mar
Food & Restaurants - We eat inside the cruise ship; however, there are some good local vendors by the Nassau - Port
Shopping - This is probably the best part for me since I bought a photo book made of leaves, branches, and seeds—love IT 😍!
In addition, Nassau is very close to Cuba- do you know what does it means? they carry pretty good cigars! #bucketlistreboot #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #beachlife #bahamas #local

Balmoral Island
#weekendgetaways
I'm really happy with our decision to visit Balmoral Island on our cruise excursion. There were only 2 ships in port that day so we basically had the beach to ourselves. We snorkeled (not sure if they provide that, we brought our own), enjoyed the hammock in the water, and just lounged around all day!
There were additional excursions like dolphin swim, etc that we didn't purchase.
I did reserve a cabana which was in a really pretty location up by the pool but it was a waste of money, we didn't use it. I recommend to check how many boats will be in port for the day. If there's more than 2-3 you may want to consider getting a cabana for your own space.
They didn't really have an extensive menu for food...burgers was about it. We didn't eat, but I did have one drink that wasn't great.
Our cabana was by the pool, but I never saw anyone in the pool. The ocean was more than perfect for us! There were some innertubes available but if it were a busy day those would have been gone quickly, I'm sure.

Montagu Beach
#weekendgetaways
This is a really nice spot to view the water, and even bath for some. With three semi-circular enclaves of mini beaches encapsulated with turquoise water, it's quite beautiful. It's my favourite beach to bring some food and enjoy the view, but maybe not as private as you might prefer. With that said, the views are spectacular (and incluses nearby buildings and a fish market).

Jaw's Beach
#weekendgetaways
One of the best beach in Nassau we have found by luck a long time ago before Google Map.
The water is generally calm as it is in a cove. The sand is fine and generally clean. Best time to visit is during the weekday, you may even have the whole beach to yourself. You will definitely need a car to get here though..................................
Anything travels
Love Beach
#weekendgetaways
Very nice beach with paid access (downside) to the beach through a restaurant. The $5 includes parking, access and WiFi but loungers and umbrellas are extra if you decide to rent.
Beach is nice and relatively clean. The ocean is much calmer than elsewhere as there is a reef further out to the sea. No undercurrents and the waves are pleasant.
There is some shade to the left of the restaurant.
Anything travels
Cable Beach
#weekendgetaways
This is one of the smaller beaches. We got there in the morning and it was not crowded. We got there when most of the vendors were setting up their equipment so we didn't approached by anyone. There is a liquor store across the street, along with a few restaurants.
The water is beautiful and no trash.
I enjoyed this beach, and you would too!!!!!!
Anything travels
Cabbage Beach
#weekendgetaways
SO pretty! We asked about the rentals and it was $15/chair and $20 for an umbrella. Bit pricey for us but probably well worth it if you spend the whole day. Our taxi dropped us off by the paradise restaurant/resort or something entrance. It wasn’t crowded at all! The vendors selling water sports/braids don’t harass you at all and are very friendly!
#2024wish hi name is Angel Diaz. my son care is so expensive. we can't afford to take then no were. My always asking me to go to Atlantis. because of the commercial.
