There are four weeks left until spring break. This is the window through which the Caribbean feels still open. Suitable villas are available and the best beachfront suites are yet to be booked. The water settled warm and steady to the rhythm of late winter. You can still find what you want.
Luxury spring break isn’t about noise or packed pool decks. It’s about choosing the right island for your family, staying comfortably in a hotel that understands how to travel, and spending seven days in a place where you feel comfortable from the first hour.
Here’s where to go and where to stay.
Nassau and Paradise Island
Nassau is made for activities, not just check-ins. Within minutes of landing, you’ll arrive at Cable Beach and enter calm, swimmable waters where you’ll want to stay for hours. One day you were snorkeling above coral heads just offshore. Next, charter a boat to Rose Island, drop anchor on a shallow sandbar and dive straight into the water so clear you can see your shadow on the bottom. You can paddleboard as the sun rises, explore the city’s historic streets in the afternoon, and return to the beach before dinner. Crossing over to Paradise Island speeds up the experience. Atlantis turns your beach vacation into an interactive activity. Walkable marine habitats, waterslides through shark-filled lagoons, and a long stretch of Atlantic-facing sandy beach where you can reset after a day in the morning water. The marina becomes part of the rhythm, and the boats come and go as you decide where to eat. Nassau and Paradise Island work because they offer daily options. You never sit still. You are in the water, on the boat, in the sun, completely inside it.
to rosewood baja marYou will enter a stylish corner of the larger Baha Mar complex. The rooms have an almost residential feel. The beach is orderly and quiet compared to nearby hotels. You can go from the pool to the sand for dinner without having to cross the crowded lobby. Café Boulud offers one of the strongest dining options in the Bahamas. The bar is memorable. You can stay within this ecosystem seven days a week and never feel trapped.
to The Cove at AtlantisYou can access Aquaventure’s slides and marine habitats before retreating to the building’s higher wings. After spending the afternoon by the ocean-view infinity pool, make dinner reservations at Fish by José Andrés or Paranza. It’s a spring break full of energy, but controlled on your terms.
