New Providence Long one of the region’s most popular summer stops, New Providence is home to Nassau, the Bahamas’ capital and tourism hub. So what makes it so popular? Well, it’s very easy to get to, the tourism offerings are copious and the airport is among the Caribbean’s best, for starters. And then of course there’s Atlantis, which has been undergoing a massive renovation and rebranding, joined by a wonderfully rebounding downtown area and the new Baha Mar, which finally opened last month. Where to Stay: Atlantis, Graycliff Hotel, Baha Mar.
