Wellness Found on Nassau & Paradise Island

By Waheeda Harris

From sunrise to sunset, Nassau & Paradise Island’s idyllic climate and lush landscapes create an alluring backdrop for memorable wellness experiences. From soothing spa treatments to memorable sunset cruises, Nassau & Paradise Island deserves a spot on your radar as a wellness destination. Here are five ways to embrace Bahamian wellness:

Go with the Flow

Kick off a sunny morning on the island with a yoga class, like at The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort, for a complimentary one-hour session of beach yoga. For an Insta-worthy moment, experience yoga in the garden at Rosewood Baha Mar alongside the resort’s resident Ambassador Flamingos. Once a month, the garden also hosts a lunar yoga class, Chandra Namaskar (lunar salutations), paired with meditation beneath a starry sky.

Treat Yo’self

Plan a spa day with a Bahamian flavour. At Goldwynn Resort & Residences’ Rhizophora Spa choose one of the ancient therapy massages like the organic muslin bag massage, combining orange, spices and seaweed for exfoliation. At Sandals Royal Bahamian’s Red Lane Spa, the papaya pineapple salt mousse treatment helps to dissolve dull skin and reveals hydrated skin with a glow.

For those celebrating a notable birthday or anniversary, Mandara Spa at Atlantis Paradise Island features two couples suites or offers guests relaxing massage treatments en suite.

Embrace the Outdoors

Seek out the serenity in the sea while snorkeling or scuba diving among hundreds of fish species in Bahamian waters, or tee off at the par-72 Ocean Club Golf Course, which stretches over six kilometres along the scenic coastline. For a place to snorkel and stroll, Clifton Heritage National Park has over 80 hectares of historic ruins, caves, hiking trails and the BREEF Coral Reef Sculpture Garden, featuring Ocean Atlas, an underwater sculpture by Jason deCaires Taylor.

Sip and Savour

Sample the abundance of locally-sourced ingredients found throughout Nassau, from fresh conch salad at Arawak Cay to farm-to-table cuisine at the five-star Graycliff Restaurant. Culinary enthusiasts can also sign up for master classes with world-renowned chefs at The Kitchen at Baha Mar to learn the secrets of Bahamian cooking.

Me Time 2.0

Book an exclusive day tour for two with a local operator. Born Free Fishing Charters can craft custom itineraries around New Providence, arrange excursions to Eleuthera, or plan a swim-with-the-pigs experience in the Exumas.

Another bucket-list option is to reserve a private yacht charter with Pearl Island for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of Nassau & Paradise Island and the surrounding Out Islands.

Did You Know?
