The Bahamas is a haven to escape from the mundane everyday. The crystal blue waters, the soft sands and the radiant skies entice visitors from across the globe to experience a world of serenity. Bimini Bay is a splendorous gem of the Bahamas that boasts a truly lavish lifestyle. Located at only 48 Nautical miles east of Miami, Florida Bimini Bay is a gateway to paradise. Take a short 20–minute flight or a one and a half hour boat trip; either way you get there, you’ll step into bliss.

If you are a fishing enthusiast, look no further. Because of its proximity to the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, Bimini Bay is counted as one of the best places for fishing, especially for big game like Sailfish, Tuna and Wahoo. Every year, hundreds of sportsmen migrate to the various world–famous fishing tournaments that take place in the island. At Bimini Bay, adventure awaits around every corner.

Bimini Bay Resort offers a variety of lifestyles, from the lavish to the down–to–earth. Alice Town, North Bimini Bay’s most prominent area, is situated along a single road called the King’s Highway. With its hotels, marinas and down-home bars, it exudes the unique Bahamian old–world charm. At night, the streets come alive with an exciting range of entertainment options at its famous nightspots. North Bimini is the hub of the Bimini Bay islands with all the major locations in place, such as; the Government office, the local Tourist Office, the Bimini Museum and the Straw Market. South Bimini, on the other hand, affords the impression of a more laid–back escapade. It accommodates some of Bimini’s best hotels like the Bimini Sands Resort & Marina, South Bimini Yacht Club, Bimini Beach Club and Marina along with Airport. East Bimini is a narrow stretch where one can unwind in its secluded beaches and take in the radiant sun of the Caribbean.

A Bimini Bay Resort vacation offers an array of adventures and relaxing moments. While Scuba diving or Snorkeling into Bimini Bay’s crystal clear waters, you are likely to chance upon many shipwrecks of an era gone by. Over the years, Bimini Bay has also become famous for its vibrant nightlife. The legendary Fountain of Youth, situated in the South Bimini Bay Islands, is a small freshwater well that pumps cool, mineral–laden fresh water that has been found to have curative properties. Legend also has it that the lost city of Atlantis was once located just off the coast of North Bimini. Divers have examined this half-mile stretch, and many believe it to be the remnants and relics of Atlantis, though no consensus has emerged.

The legendary author, Ernest Hemingway, made Bimini Bay his second home. He frequented the island and no doubt found endless inspiration for his art. One of Hemingway’s greatest novels, Islands in the Stream, sets the island of Bimini as a central character and exudes the admiration Hemingway had for this paradise. The novel is about a renowned American painter who finds tranquility on the island of Bimini, a reflection of Hemingway’s life in the islands.

So grab a copy of your favorite Hemingway novel, pack your swimming gear and fishing lines and take off for an adventure of a lifetime. You might go there in search for the Tuna, but the promise of your ‘island in the stream’ is the promise of finding things beyond. Bimini Bay, with its mysterious parables, tranquil waters, tropical sun and that famous Bahamian spirit, beckons!
