Wellness Found on
NASSAU & PARADISE ISLAND
BY WAHEEDA HARRIS
Island’s idyllic climate and lush land-
From sunrise to sunset, Nassau & Paradise
scapes 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.
