You may know the two mega resorts in The Bahamas — Atlantis Paradis Island and Baha Mar. They’re both outstanding, with world-class amenities and a truly unforgettable experience. But if you’re looking for a different kind of Bahamian vacation, there are myriad options for you at some of the country’s fantastic small resorts. 

Here are seven of our favorites for an unforgettable vacation in The Bahamas. 

Valentines, Harbour Island The only true residential resort on endlessly chic Harbour Island, Valentines is a lovely mix of condominium-style units married with a fun-loving, energetic position as the de factor heartbeat of Harbour Island. It’s the best of both worlds, home to its own private beach club on Pink Sand Beach and a privileged perch on a spectacular Dunmore Town marina.
