Hello! Today's Destination Spotlight focuses on the Bahamas and MICE Concierge by Representation Plus local DMC experts, Cacique.
Just Imagine... Close your eyes, imagine a warm breeze, the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore, sand beneath your toes, and a cool beverage in your hand. We want to set the landscape of today's Destination Spotlight featuring the warm, the sunny, the colourful: The Bahamas, and Hosts Global Member, and local experts, Cacique International.
Perhaps the best kept secret of The Bahamas is the country’s sheer size and diversity. With 700 islands and cays, The Bahamas is an unmatched destination, a heart-pounding adventure across 100,000 square miles of the world’s clearest ocean. Secret sandbars, secluded pink-sand beaches and miles of irresistibly blue waters. In short, the most idyllic setting for an event. But beautiful beaches are just the beginning! Venture beyond them and discover islands humming with history, art, nightlife, and culture. The Bahamas enjoys a warm, agreeable climate that varies little year-round, and is easily accessible with many direct flights from the United States, Canada, Latin America and the United Kingdom. The Bahamas has a unique biodiversity on each island. Natural wonders of one-of-a-kind gems, colourful wildlife, winding creeks, golden shores. Some call it a sanctuary, others call it a natural occurring museum. One thing is for certain, your guests will all call it paradise.
Somewhere Else Will Be The Place To Be...
The brainchild of legendary musician Pharrel Williams & celebrated nightlife entrepreneur Dave Grutman, “Somewhere Else Resort” is set to be “a unique and immersive experience” in partnership with the iconic Atlantis Resort. Somewhere Else will reportedly feature 400+ rooms and suites alongside an array of vibrant, top-tier dining venues, lushly landscaped grounds, pools and recreation areas, luxury amenities and live entertainment. Exact details are still shrouded in mystery but this promises to be truly “Somewhere Else” extraordinary to experience at Atlantis, Paradise Island in 2024.
A Legend Is Reimagined...
In what the iconic resort is calling “massive upgrades and striking enhancements,” Atlantis is currently redeveloping all of its Royal Tower guest rooms and suites; reimagining its casino; and adding a new Michelin-star chef to its extensive culinary line-up.
Luxury On The Sea ...

Keeping It Fresh...
Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House is a celebration of Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s passion for exploring flavours, from finding the freshest Bahamian ingredients and local seafood to sharing his latest take on comfort food classics. Inspired by the warm & colourful culture of The Bahamas, the restaurant’s rooftop bar comes alive with Bahamian music & local DJs while the interior design & menus are curated by Baha Mar’s “The Current” Art Gallery.
Experiential Is Only The Beginning...
The most stylish way to escape Nassau and visit some of the hidden gems of the Bahamian archipelago. There are several bespoke speedboat excursions to choose from, including the stepping-stone cays of the Exumas, the famous pink-sand beaches of Harbour Island and the colourful coral reefs of Rose Island. The thrilling high-speed ride across gin-clear waters involves an array of activities, including swimming with pigs (yes, you read that correctly), feeding iguanas, snorkelling with nurse sharks & turtles, lunch at a variety of marinas & beach bars, as well as ample beach time!
