The right island for you will largely depend on what type of vacation you had in mind. The most popular islands are: Nassau and New Province, Grand Bahama Island, Eleuthera and the Exumas and The Abacos.

Now that you’ve chosen an island and possibly resort you’re probably wondering when you should go and how much it will cost you. The amount of money you need to spend for your Bahamas vacation predominately depends on when you go. Like many other island destinations, prices go up in the winter to compensate for people escaping frigid climates. Mid-December to April is considered peak season. These months also see the most comfortable weather and less rain, with temperatures averaging in the mid to upper 70’s. If you are looking to save a little money, then you should consider traveling during the off-season. Hotels likely will cut their prices by as much as 60% to attract tourism dollars during the off-peak months. Traveling during these months might bring higher temperatures and an increased chance of rain, but the risks might be worth it for what you can save money wise.
Since the weather will be warm to downright hot whenever you decide to travel, you will want to keep this in mind when traveling to the Bahamas. Avoid heavier fabrics and dark colors that absorb heat. Bring a few light, airy outfits for sightseeing and activities. If you plan on eating out consider a dressier outfit for more formal establishments. Bring a few swimsuits, as putting on a wet bathing suit before you head to the beach is no way to start the day. Throw in a comfortable pair of shoes for walking around and you will have the basics that you need for your Bahamian vacation. And don’t forget your sunscreen!
