Tiny uncrowded cays. Gorgeous white-sand seashores. Charming, historic downtowns. From the island-hopping paradise of Abaco to the postcard-perfect cottages and villas of Harbour Island, they’re two of essentially the most sought-after corners of The Bahamas.
However traditionally, they haven’t been fairly really easy to get to. That’s the place Tradewind Aviation is available in. The posh airline has been flying for years to high locations within the northeastern Caribbean out of its hub in San Juan, with a give attention to simply these sort of distant, harder-to-reach luxurious hotspots like St Barth, Anguilla and Virgin Gorda.
And now due to Tradewind’s new base in Palm Seaside, it’s now connecting South Florida vacationers with each Marsh Harbour, Abaco and North Eleuthera Worldwide Airport, the latter being the gateway to Harbour Island (only a quick five-minute ferry journey from simply close by the airport).
Tradewind has formally kicked off each routes to The Bahamas, with each flights working Thursday-Monday. It’s the posh expertise we’ve at all times loved when flying on Tradewind: the state-of-the-art Pilatus planes, the free snacks and drinks, the seamless personal check-in, the spectacular service.
The 2 routes will run for the height season, with the schedule working via Could 26,2025, in line with the airline.
What about costs? For reference, you’ll be able to fly roundtrip from Palm Seaside to North Eleuthera for about $707.83. That’s just a few hundred {dollars} greater than a Miami-North Eleuthera flight — and also you’re successfully flying personal and touchdown within the FBO (eliminating the sometimes-challenging expertise within the North Eleuthera industrial airport) — a slightly good worth.
Are you planning a getaway to both of those luxurious getaways?
If it’s Harbour Island, we’ve stayed on the high resorts on the island and are slightly a fan of The Dunmore, the legendary jet-set getaway perched proper above the island’s signature Pink Sand Seaside. Rooms from $2,018 per night time. Should you’re seeking to keep on Eleuthera, these days the Governor’s Harbour space has been heating up (about one hour from the airport), with some beautiful boutique choices just like the Pineapple Fields lodge. Rooms from $421.
What about Abaco? Whereas Marsh Harbour is the gateway to the islands, having fun with Abaco is all about getting out to the little islands within the archipelago. Our favourite? Inexperienced Turtle Cay, residence to the endlessly beautiful Bluff Home, an eight-room jewel with a wonderful seaside and seaside bar. It’s an genuine, unforgettable Out Island expertise. Rooms beginning at $275.
If you wish to keep on the “mainland,” your greatest wager is South Abaco, residence to the world-class Abaco Membership, residence to considered one of our favourite golf programs within the Caribbean. Only one catch, you’ll be able to solely keep as a lodge visitor as soon as — in any other case you’ll have to come back again as an proprietor of one of many cottages or villas.
