Paradise Found: What To Expect on Your Nassau Paradise Island Vacation
The sun has been shining, the waves have been lapping our white-sand shores, and we’ve been waiting to welcome you back to paradise. Yes, The Bahamas is open and welcoming guests so if you’re ready to treat yourself to that long-overdue getaway, we’re here with the friendly hospitality, comforting accommodations, and beautiful beaches you remember.
Fun in the sun is always number one in Nassau Paradise Island, but your health and safety are also our top priority. We’ve introduced a Clean & Pristine certification to give you peace of mind that the hotels and resorts you love are doing the utmost they can to keep you safe and give you peace of mind. This includes enhanced screening and health procedures for staff, enhanced cleaning and social distancing protocols, and clear communication of all of the ways certified properties are maintaining a clean and pristine environment for you, our valued guests. Look for the Clean & Pristine seal.
For a travel experience as smooth as our soft white sand, make sure that you have documentation of your negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test (taken within five days of departure) and your Bahamas Travel Health Visa before you depart. Add face masks to your packing list as you will be required to wear them at some places while exploring and enjoying Nassau Paradise Island.
Here in Nassau Paradise Island, we’re doing everything we can to make testing sites convenient and available, so finding a location to get tested before returning home will be a breeze. In fact, most hotels are offering free onsite rapid testing with RT-PCR tests available at a cost, so it’s easy to prepare for your flight home (and so you can enjoy a few extra minutes by the pool).
