Island Bliss: How To Be A High-Roller In The Bahamas

November 15, 2023 by Jeremy Lindy

The Bahamas are pretty close to the U.S. mainland, making them a preferred tropical retreat for those living in the south, east, and southeast of the country. Instead of flying 10 hours to the Maldives or Bora Bora in the Pacific, these islands offer all the luxury you would expect from a five-star resort practically on your doorstep.

But how do you achieve island bliss at this destination? High-rollers seeking opulent experiences often choose the best island in the Bahamas for its exclusive resorts and extravagant entertainment options. And how can you be a high-roller once you arrive? Let’s take a look.

Go On A Designer Shopping Spree

First, you’ll want to go on a designer shopping spree. The Bahamas is well-known for its luxury shopping districts, thanks to its preponderance of boutique and world-renowned designer stores. Here, high-rollers can buy rare wristwatches, jewelry, shoes, and even cutlery. It’s just like being in Geneva, Paris, or Milan, but without the busyness or queues.

Attend Exclusive Festivals And Events

You can also be a high roller in the Bahamas by attending various exclusive festivals and events on the islands. The archipelago is home to numerous star-studded galas where anyone who’s anyone shows up for fun, drinks, and networking. Many of these events occur in some of the islands’ swankiest hotels, often with ballrooms, balconies, and courtyards for mingling while chowing down on local delicacies prepared by Michelin-star chefs.

Try A Round Of Golf

Of course, wherever you have exclusivity, you also get golf. And the Bahamas is home to some world-class, PGA-accredited golf venues. Here, you can tee off, do eighteen holes in the sunshine, and then retire to the beach for fun on the sand.

Charter A Luxury Cruise

You can also learn how to charter a superyacht in the Bahamas. Given the sheer abundance of stunning vessels in the region, it’s actually straightforward, and something exclusive vacationers do regularly when they want to explore the location. A luxury superyacht provides everything you need to live at sea while showing you all the best views of the islands and letting you hop from one deserted white-sand beach to another. You can also hire these boats outright for however long you need them, all equipped with crews ready to do your bidding. 

Go To A Spa And Wellness Retreat

If you need to recharge your batteries, you can also be a high-roller in the Bahamas by going to one of the island chain’s many spa and wellness retreats. These offer state-of-the-art treatments for individuals who want to look and feel their best while they are away. Remember, health is the new wealth. 

Go On A Thrill-Seeking Adventure

You can also go on a thrill-seeking adventure in style. The Bahamas offers all sorts of high-end options to delight your senses and make you feel alive. For instance, you could hire a helicopter and practice flying between the islands or go on a deep-sea fishing charter to see what sort of ghoulish creatures you could hoist from the deep. You could also attend various celebrity and VIP hotspots on the island and mix with movie stars and business tycoons.
