The capital of The Bahamas, Nassau injects urban flavour to the country’s easy-going island vibe. On the island of New Providence, it decks the coast with historic structures in sorbet shades, overlooking the divine beaches you came for. Upscale resorts line shores seconds away from fine-dining bistros, or seafood shacks. Nassau offers a taste of the tropics, tinged with big-city thrills.
