They’re ingredients to the perfect weekend — a blend of local flavor, elevated cocktails, and luxury accommodations that captures why the Bahamas’ capital remains one of the Caribbean’s most magnetic destinations. Soon, those experiences will be easier than ever to reach. Beginning Dec. 13, Frontier Airlines is launching weekly nonstop service from Atlanta to Nassau, opening the door to spontaneous weekend escapes and longer holidays alike.
With introductory fares starting at $79 one-way, the new route makes Nassau’s mix of beaches, hotels, and culture more accessible than ever. Whether it’s wandering through Paradise Island, savoring a dinner at Graycliff, or dancing late into the night at Bon Vivants, this new connection puts it all just a short flight away.
Where to Stay
On Cable Beach, Baha Mar offers a world-class resort experience with three hotels, a casino, a waterpark, and destination dining. Just across the bridge, Atlantis Paradise Island remains an icon, from its Aquaventure park to its marine habitats. Comfort Suites Paradise Island is a smart, great-value option that includes access to Atlantis amenities. The beachfront Goldwynn Resort on Cable Beach brings sleek, modern design to Nassau, while the historic Graycliff Hotel is known for its fine dining, wine cellar, and artisanal chocolate factory.
Where to Eat
Dining in Nassau ranges from fine cuisine to authentic Bahamian flavors. Graycliff Restaurant sets the standard with elegant multi-course meals, while Sapodilla offers refined Bahamian and international dishes in a garden setting. In downtown Nassau, Café Matisse is beloved for Italian fare in a courtyard atmosphere. At Baha Mar, Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House by Marcus Samuelsson showcases Caribbean-inspired flavors, and Paranza brings high-end Italian coastal cooking. For something casual and quintessentially Bahamian, McKenzie’s Conch Shack is the go-to for conch salad and fritters.
Where to Drink
Nassau’s burgeoning nightlife scene blends local character with global style. The Dilly Club at Atlantis is known for creative cocktails in a stylish lounge. On West Bay Street, Bon Vivants has become a hub for craft mixology with a vintage twist. And at Baha Mar, the fantastic new Jon Batiste’s Jazz Club combines live music and cocktails for one of the island’s most distinctive night spots.
With the launch of this new route, Frontier Airlines is linking Atlanta to Nassau’s unmatched mix of beaches, resorts, and cultural experiences — making the Bahamian capital more accessible than ever.
