The Bahamas ready to welcome travelers more than ever in 2026

Wednesday, 07 Jan, 2026 0

Hospitality, off-grid authenticity, and personalized trips—2026 is shaping up to be a remarkable year for travelers seeking their own slice of paradise, and The Bahamas is ready to deliver. From award-winning beaches and sustainability initiatives to world-class luxury and coastal cuisine, the archipelago invites visitors to set the tone for the year ahead.

By the end of September 2025, The Bahamas had welcomed approximately 9.1 million total visitors, marking an 8.7% increase over the same period in 2024

Expanded Air Connectivity with Miami-Bimini

Travelers now have more ways to reach the Caribbean island. Following several new Bahamas-bound routes launched in late 2025—including Tradewind Aviation’s service from Fort Lauderdale to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera, JetBlue’s daily Boston-Nassau flight, and Delta’s expanded service from New York, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit, and Minneapolis—American Airlines is adding the first regularly scheduled nonstop route from Miami to Bimini.

Launching February 14, 2026, the service will operate three times weekly, offering easy access to North and South Bimini’s beaches, snorkeling, fishing, and relaxed island culture. With seamless connections from dozens of U.S. and Canadian cities, travelers can enjoy serene escapes less than an hour from Miami.

Upcoming Events

  • Korn Ferry Tour Bahamas Golf Classic (Jan. 11–14) – The 2026 season kicks off at Atlantis’ Ocean Club Golf Course on Paradise Island. Fans will watch rising golf stars compete for a $1 million purse and 20 PGA TOUR spots in 2027, all against a stunning 7,100-yard shoreline backdrop. Atlantis guests can purchase elevated grounds and hospitality tickets with shuttle service available.

  • Eleuthera Food & Craft Festival (Jan. 30) – Celebrate local culture with artisan crafts, Bahamian cuisine, live music, and a lively Junkanoo rush out.

Exclusive Promotions

  • Grand Isle Resort & Residences – “New Year, New You” spa escape includes a four-night stay, $150 SEASTAR Spa credit, wellness activities, and beachfront relaxation.

  • Rosewood Baha Mar – “Suite Sojourn” offers up to 30% off select suites, butler service, poolside credits, and curated dining experiences.

  • The Cove Eleuthera – “Blue Mind Escape” combines a three-night beachfront stay with a floating sea lounge picnic, ocean-inspired art set, and relaxing in-room amenities.

Island Focus: The Exumas

This archipelago of 365+ islands is renowned for sapphire waters, secluded beaches, and the iconic swimming pigs at Big Major Cay.

Visitors can snorkel vibrant reefs, dive into James Bond’s Thunderball Grotto, fish, kayak, or simply sail between deserted cays. Overnight stays at Peace & Plenty Hotel in George Town, Great Exuma, offer comfortable rooms, waterfront dining, and easy access to beaches and excursions.
