Warm turquoise waters, soft sand, tropical weather…these are just a few reasons why you should visit Nassau, Bahamas on your next holiday vacation. Not only is Nassau an easy flight (it’s just south of the Florida coastline!), but it’s also a budget-friendly destination — perfect for a family getaway or a romantic trip with your S.O.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re like us\u00a0and prefer to escape the cold in the winter, ditch the ski trip and venture off to paradise instead. Here’s your guide on where to stay and what to do in Nassau:<\/p>\n

Try delicious Bahamian food<\/h3>\n

Want a taste of some authentic Bahamian food? Check out Fish Fry at Arawak Cay on West Bay Street — a local eatery that features a variety of authentic seafood restaurants. You can enjoy made-to-order tropical conch salad, scorched conch, corn fritters, and other Bahamian dishes. Plus, you can sip on some Bahamian drinks like Sky Juice, which is a combo of gin, coconut milk, condensed milk, and cinnamon. Yum!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Walk to the beach from your hotel room<\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for the best hotel deal, look no further than\u00a0Meli\u00e1 Nassau Beach All – Inclusive<\/a>. The hotel features amazing rooms with views of the Atlantic Ocean, fun activities like Carribean dance classes and straw weaving, and pools that are literally just a few feet away from Cable Beach. Guests can also enjoy a true culinary experience (in addition to Bahamian food) at one of seven restaurants, which features head chefs from the restaurants’ specific region — whether you indulge in the fusion of traditional Japanese and Peruvian cuisine or innovative tapas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get a taste of Bahamian\u00a0history<\/h3>\n

If you’re an alcohol aficionado (who isn’t while on vay-k?), take a tour of\u00a0John Watling’s Distillery<\/a>, the only rum distillery on the Bahamian islands. Bahamians handcraft pale, amber, and other spirits right on the haunted Buena Vista estate, which dates back to 1789. After the tour, guests can enjoy delicious signature Bahamian cocktails — trust us when we say they shake up the best pi\u00f1a coladas ever…like ever. Plus, you can also take home a hand-packaged bottle of John Watling’s rum. How’s that for a souvenir?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kayak and paddleboard in the Bahamian sea<\/h3>\n

What’s better than swimming in crystal clear waters? Floating and relaxing in the ocean. Mel\u00eda Nassau Beach All – Inclusive offers water sports on Cable Beach \u2013 so you can kayak, snorkel, scuba dive, and paddleboard to your heart’s desire. If you just want to lay out, sunbathe on the mesh floaties out in the ocean, which is hooked to the ocean floor so they don’t float away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
