Destination weddings are all the rage these days, but they aren’t just for couples who want to get married on a beach. If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten path location with a unique backdrop and charming locals, here are some of our favorite islands in The Bahamas that are perfect for destination weddings:
San Salvador
San Salvador is the largest island in the Bahamas, and is the second largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba. It is known as “The Sport Fishing Capital of The World”.
San Salvador has a wide variety of attractions to keep your guests busy during your trip:
-
Snorkeling at Blue Hole Beach – get up close with thousands of tropical fish while exploring this beautiful coral reef.
-
Kayaking at Palm Cay Island – explore some of these beautiful islands from an amazing perspective!
Andro
Andros, located in the Bahamas, is a nature lover’s paradise. It’s also home to some of the best beaches, reefs and snorkeling in the Caribbean.
Andros offers everything you need for a perfect destination wedding: it’s undeveloped so you can get away from all that hustle and bustle; there are plenty of activities such as fishing, scuba diving, kayaking or just relaxing on one of many beaches; and last but not least – flamingos!
The best place to see them is on Pigeon Island National Park where they have hundreds of pink feathered friends roaming around their natural habitat surrounded by crystal clear waters which makes it an ideal spot for photographers looking for stunning images with their subjects!
Harbour Island
The island of Harbour Island is a popular destination for weddings, and it’s easy to see why. With only 200 people on the island and no large hotels or resorts, Harbour Island has plenty of open space to accommodate your guests. The beaches are calm and sandy (and even have spots for swimming), making them ideal for photos orasts.
Harbour Island also offers many restaurants, bars, shops and cafes where you can relax after your wedding ceremony. If you want more formal evening activities than lounging by the beach in your swimsuit then there is always Club Med or other similar establishments nearby where guests can spend their time socializing all night long!
Abaco Islands
The Abaco Islands, located off the coast of Florida and Bahamas, is the most popular destination for destination weddings in the Bahamas. The island chain’s lush greenery, white sand beaches and turquoise waters make it an ideal spot for a wedding celebration.
The best time to visit is between May and November when temperatures are warmest but not too hot! During this time you can enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving at one of many wreck sites along Abaco’s coastline.
Eleuthera and Harbour Island
Eleuthera and Harbour Island are ideal for destination weddings. The island of Eleuthera is a tropical paradise, with its own unique charm, history and culture. It’s home to some of the best beaches in the Bahamas—perfect for your big day! You can also choose from several different venues on this beautiful island.
Harbour Island offers you another option if you prefer a more intimate setting than what is offered on Eleuthera. Harbour Island has many options when it comes to wedding venues too: there are hotels that cater specifically towards weddings; resorts with oceanfront views; villas with private pools; mangrove cottages tucked away in nature reserve areas where guests can take walks along sandy shores or explore caves full of bats! Whatever type of venue you choose will provide an unforgettable experience for all involved at any stage throughout your celebration’s duration (including pre-wedding activities).
Now, we hope you have a better understanding of what makes the Bahamas so special and why it’s the perfect destination for your wedding. The water, sand, sun and beautiful beaches are all part of what makes this island country such a great place to get married! Book a free consultation today to know more.
