Best Honeymoon Destinations in the Bahamas

In the Bahamas there are many great all inclusive honeymoon destinations to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean beaches. Those who are traveling to a Bahamas island for the first time may prefer an all inclusive package such as those offered by the Sandals resorts that are located on a number of different islands in the Caribbean. Sandals resorts offer special packages for weddings and honeymoons. Many couples choose to get married here because of the beautiful beaches and the laid back atmosphere. Sometimes a wedding and honeymoon package is actually an inexpensive wedding idea because it is actually cheaper than having two separate events that have to be coordinated and planned.


These Bahama islands are well known for their beaches but there are a few unique spots that you won't find anywhere else. Pink Sands is one of the best hidden Bahama honeymoon spots in the Caribbean. The Pink Sands Resort is on Harbour Island, Bahamas. They offer a number of adventures for newlyweds. The amenities at the Pink Sands are designed to give guests the opportunity to try all kinds of different water outings unique to the Caribbean. They offer snorkeling, tennis courts, umbrellas and lounges for the beach, they have a library, a spa, along with traditional amenities like a freshwater pool and a gym facility.
Paradise Island is another hot spot that honeymooners will likely want to visit. This small island is dedicated to the tourist industry. It is less than a mile wide and about five miles long. They have all kinds of restaurants and gift shops where you can enjoy food from all different cultures that is prepared by top chefs. The gift shops have many different items that are unique to the Bahamas. On Paradise Island you can also enjoy the casinos and a luxury golf course.
Some of the best Bahamas honeymoon destinations are the beaches which double as an excellent place to share wedding vows. Getting married here is easy and many people prefer a small wedding in the Bahamas rather than a large wedding at home because it is easier and less stressful due to the ease of planning. A wedding on a Bahama island is easy to plan because the resort takes care of most of the details like the cake, flowers, and pictures.

Air travel 2.0: New 'spacecraft' will take two hours to reach Oz

A revolutionary spaceship that will allow holidaymakers to reach any destination in less than two hours could become a fixture in the skies.

Michiel Mol, a Formula One tycoon and co-owner of the Force India racing team, has joined up with Dutch airline KLM to develop a spacecraft that could make weekend getaways to Australia a reality.

The revolutionary vessel would make long-haul flights a thing of the past - with journeys from London to Sydney taking a mere hour and 45 minutes.

But travellers should not change their holiday plans just yet, as organisers do not expect to have commercial space journeys in operation for another 15 to 20 years.

But tickets for the first seats on this fantastical craft have already been sold - and the first British passenger has signed up for a ticket for a spaceflight on a preliminary edition of the craft in 2014, for 'just' £60,000.

Anton Kriel, who appeared on the BBC TV programme Million Dollar Traders, has already booked his seat, and has said he will go through astronaut training to prepare for the flight.
So far, 35 globe-trotters, all of whom must go through a minor physical examination before getting on board, have bought tickets for the first set of flights, which will take off from the Caribbean island of Curacao.

If passengers reach an altitude of 62 miles, they will be able to call themselves astronauts.

The Lynx, the project’s first generation spaceship, will travel at 2,200 mph and will be revealed next spring.

Mr Mol said: 'Being able to travel from London to Sydney in an hour and 45 minutes, that is the future.

'I think there will be millions of people who would prefer to be in Sydney in a little more than one and a half hours rather than 24 hours.'
The project will rival Sir Richard Branson’s space travel venture Virgin Galactic, which - at £130,000 a seat - makes tickets on the Lynx seem like a steal.
