Call it Bimini blue: the ombre hue of the waters that wash this Bahamian out island, morphing from crystalline turquoise near the shore to the deepest navy in the gulfstream waters that stretch to the horizon.

For years travelers have come to the sandy outpost of South Bimini for bone fishing, scuba diving and a chance to experience for themselves the stunning waterscape for which this corner of the Caribbean is known.

And they find it here at Bimini Sands Resort & Marina, where from every beachfront condo the classic Caribbean panorama unfolds, interrupted only by swaying coconut palms or a bobbing sailboat.

You can find it, too, with special all-inclusive rates that start at just $165 per person per night from October 1 through March 31, 2015.
