Bahamas
Consisting of over 700 low-lying islands, this
destination has become the playground for jet-setters, tax-refugees
and the rich and famous over the years. Surrounded by clear and
colourful waters that need to be seen to be believed, parts of New
Providence in particular are becoming very American and losing it's
West Indies flavour. But make no mistake-this is still a must see
destination and has some of the best beaches and resorts on this
planet.
