On the abandoned beach ...
Take a last-minute trip to a postcard paradise, where the waters are transparent, the sun warm and the sand white; where the beaches make us want to abandon ourselves to a well-deserved moment of relaxation to take a break from our daily lives. The Bahamas are the promise of it all: a dream setting for an unforgettable vacation under the sign of relaxation. And to help us, these 700 islands offer almost as many secret beaches, sublime coves and lagoons lost like oases in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
