Top 4 Posh Things To Do In The Bahamas
When people think of an island getaway, they often picture sandy beaches, crystal clear water, palm trees, and stone houses and seaside luxury retreats. The soft flow of an Atlantic Ocean breeze, along with the sweet scent of the salty air is enough to bring even the most stressed out person a sense of serenity, peace, and utter relaxation. While the Caribbean is littered with these picturesque locations, just up north and along the eastern seaboard of the United States lies a small chain of islands, considered by most to be among the most luxurious tropical destinations in the world – the Bahamas.
Here are the top 4 most posh things you can do during your stay in the tropical escape of the Bahamas!
1. Stay At One of The Many Luxury Hotel Resorts
The Bahamas is famous for some of its world-class luxury resort hotels and spas.

In addition, The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort Paradise Island, is among the poshest resorts in the Bahamas! Newly redesigned, The Ocean Club now features a new Martini Bar and a restaurant/bar called, Dune & Dune bar by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
