The best beaches in...
Four shortlists
Since the Bahamas is home to over 2,000 beaches, we compiled four short lists of the best beaches in the Bahamas - each ranking beaches in a different category. The most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas are sometimes harder to come by, and might not always be a great place to snorkel. Expect beaches that are popular amongst U.S. visitors to be saver, easier to reach, but also more crowded.

Bringing the kids? Make sure the water is calm and the sand is free of rocks. Also check out if there are restaurants and rest rooms nearby. These family-friendly beaches might not be the best if you are looking for peace and quiet though.
You decide which shortlist fits your preferences best!

The
Chill with iguanas: Bitter Guana Cay
You've likely never witnessed a community of iguanas quite like the ones that can be found on this island. Described as somewhat domesticated, if you take a boat to this island, the iguanas will greet you by walking right up to you just as soon as you set foot onshore. They are friendly, fun, and photogenic!
Swim/walk with nurse sharks: Exumas
Swimming with sharks might sound terrifying to some, but when we're talking about nurse sharks, this is a risk-free experience. One you're able to get over your fear, you'll find yourself swimming with nurse sharks, which are for the most part, harmless. Many divers and snorkelers visit the Bahamas just for this experience.
Ride horses on the beach: Paradise Island
Horseback riding on pristine Caribbean beaches is a dream that can be brought to life in the Bahamas. One of the best horseback riding expeditions in the Bahamas can be found in Paradise Island, which is located near the island of New Providence in the Bahamas.
Swim with dolphins: Blue Lagoon Island
Best beach for families with kids.
The best swimming with dolphin's tour in the Bahamas starts from the Nassau Harbour to Blue Lagoon Island. There you will be able to get up close and personal with friendly dolphins that will (if you're lucky) perform neat tricks for you and treat you like one of their own! The dolphin swimming program takes about one hour including orientation.
The best beaches in Nassau / Paradise Island / Rose Island
Cable Beach (Nassau)
Most popular beach amongst U.S. visitors.
Cable beach is the most popular beach in Nassau, and for good reason! On these beautiful sandy shores you can take advantage of fantastic views, and calm, clear blue seas with water sport adventures in abundance. If you would love to rent a jet ski for a daily dose of adrenaline, this is the place to be. Moreover, it's a great beach to sip on a cocktail and just enjoy life. Cable beach is quite expansive, so you may need to do some exploring before settling down for the day.
Insider Tip: If you're looking for an all-inclusive resort right on Cable Beach,
all-inclusive resort Sandals Royal Bahamian might be the best way to go. Plus, this resort will give you access to a private island just off the shores of Cable Beach.
Rose Island Beach (Rose Island)
Explore this small Bahamian island by boat (about 30 minutes from Paradise Island) and add some excitement to your vacation. Once you get to Rose Island, you'll find great snorkeling on one side, and swimming pigs on the other! There's also a beach bar, and plenty of lounge chairs to relax.
Love Beach (Nassau)
In Nassau you can choose whether to take a bus (jitney) or a taxi to get around. Jitneys, the local term for buses, are cheaper to get around, and usually drivers are very helpful about giving directions, and dropping you close enough to where you'd like to go. Lots of people take the local jitney to get to Love Beach, but a regular cab will also take you there. Love Beach features beautiful turquoise waters and white sand shores. Low-hanging airplanes fly over this beach regularly and it's quite a sight to behold! Don't forget to visit the Nirvana beach bar for a cocktail or two. Love Beach is convenient, beautiful, and a favorite amongst locals.

Jaws Beach (Nassau)
Is this sand or baby powder? You'll find yourself contemplating this once you set foot on this spectacular beach. That and why on earth such a slice of paradise is named after one of the most terrifying movies of all time! Have no fear; you're unlikely to see any sharks here. The beach is named as a tribute to 'Jaws Revenge', which was shot at this location. Take lots of photos, as Jaws Beach is probably the most picturesque beach in Nassau. It's not every day you get to bask in the sunshine at a
Cabbage Beach (Paradise Island)
Cabbage Beach is the most visited beach on Paradise Island and offers a long stretch of sandy shores on the North coast. This place is prime location for well-known resorts and restaurants and can get crowded at some parts. However, the beach is long enough to find a quite spot as well. Cabbage Beach is beautiful and the views on the turquoise waters are amazing. The water can get rough at times, so keep an eye out for the flags that'll tell you whether it's safe to swim. This beach is also a great place to race around with a jet ski!
Junkanoo Beach (Nassau)
Famous for its Junkanoo celebrations which happen between December and January (annually), it's quite appropriate that there would be a beach with the same name in the Bahamas. This beach offers plenty of beach bars and restaurants, often playing loud music. Junkanoo Beach is quite a vibe, great for people-watching and has a beautiful view on the cruise ships docking in the port. Since Junkanoo is on walking distance from the cruise port, it can get a bit crowded during peak season.
The best beaches in Exuma, the Bahamas.
Coco Plum Beach
Most beautiful beach in the Bahamas.
If finding a nice beach with fun water swings is something you've dreamt about your entire life, then Coco Plum Beach in the Bahamas is very likely what you seek. This beach is not only one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, but it is a popular site for kite surfing, wind surfing, and snorkeling. When the tide goes out on this beach, you can walk out almost half a mile on the sand, in water that's about ankle deep. Many visitors use this opportunity to collect sand dollars, which are in abundance on this beach. If you're traveling as a family, Coco Plum beach is ideal.
Insider Tip: Sandals Emerald Bay, an
award-winning all-inclusive resort in Exuma , is located on a 10-minute drive from Coco Plum beach and is located on a gorgeous stretch of white sand beach. Visitors can also book a tour to the swimming pigs from this resort.

Tropic of Cancer Beach
Tropic of Cancer Beach has become almost synonymous with the Bahamas. You are pretty much guaranteed a good time once you decide to spend the day at this beach located in the Exumas. Once you get here, you'll see why some people describe it as the most beautiful beach they have ever seen. Of course, you're not going to want to just stand around in admiration. Slather on some sunblock, take off your beach wrap or t-shirt, and dive into some of the bluest waters on the planet.
Insider Tip: This beach is about a 15-20-minute drive from Great Exuma. It's relatively quiet, so pack what you need.
Stocking Island Beaches
The Exumas are blessed with great beaches, and the beaches of Stocking Island are no exception. On this beach with crystal clear waters you'll get the unique opportunity to feed stingrays! If you can get over your fear (if you have any at all), you'll find that the stingrays are quite friendly. They may even swim right up to you! Some visitors choose to feed them bits of leftover conch, which can be sources from caretakers. Though this beach is beautiful with lots of attractions, the stingrays are the star of the show!
Insider Tip: There's often a good beach volleyball game happening on this beach. Don't be shy to join in!
Highbourne Cay Beach
You may need reservations to get to this island, which features some of the most outstanding private beaches in the Bahamas. Highbourne Cay is located 35 miles southwest from New Providence Island, and here you will find a top-notch marina and high-end cottages. Visitors who plan on visiting this island should make bookings prior to arrival, as the island is extremely popular, particularly for yachtsmen. Highbourne Cay is also known as the gateway in the Exumas!
Big Major Cay (Pig Beach)
This beach isn't known for swimming as much as it is for its
The best beaches in Abaco, the Bahamas.
Great Guana Cay
Locals love this spot on long weekends, and visitors are catching on. The appeal here includes a beach bar and grill, clean shores and calm waters. Great Guana Cay, the largest Cay in the Abaco Islands, and in recent times has developed the reputation for being the best of both worlds - here you can find a relatively private space, with amenities to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Winding Bay
This island is famous for its 18-hole championship golf course, but of equal attraction are its beaches which have a reputation of being the perfect place to spot sea turtles. You may not even need to go snorkeling to witness the native sea creatures that are known to frequent this top beach. Chances are you'll spot them bobbing up and down in the seagrass, not too far from shore. If calm waters and a private beach are what you're after, Winding Bay is perfect.
Treasure Cay Beach
Don't judge a beach by its name, except when it comes to Treasure Cay. What an absolute find! This mesmerizing beach will have you wondering why you took so long to plan a beach vacation in the first place! Now that you're here, waste no time in falling in love with its crystal-clear waters and silky white sands. At low tide you'll be able to walk across the sandbars and find perfect spot for shelling!
Tahiti Beach
Located on Great Abaco Island, and not to be confused with the picturesque French Polynesian Island, Tahiti beach has its own compelling attributes that draw visitors to its shores. For one thing, there's a floating restaurant and bar, and to top that off the waters here are warm, shallow, and perfect for floating around or tanning while submerged in the ocean. When the tide is out you may even encounter sand dollars and star fish!
Mermaid Beach
Mermaid Beach on Great Abaco Island is a diver's paradise - particularly divers trying out snorkeling or scuba diving for the first time. At Mermaid reef, located just off Mermaid Beach, you can spot a variety of fish species, as well as lobsters and rays. The reef is located in a shallow protected area, and people who snorkel here think the fish are especially friendly, as they literally swim to you. This may be because they're used to being feed by adoring strangers, but one thing's for sure, you can see a lot, in a short amount of time when snorkeling off Mermaid beach!
The best beach in Andros, the Bahamas.
Kamalame Cay Beach
Kamalame Cay is known as the beach where socialites and celebrities sip and play all day. Guests can book bungalows on this 97-acre private island and take advantage of miles of deserted beach. Kamalame is getting more popular as an island getaway as it continues to be sustainably developed by the owners. Celebrities who've been spotted here include Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, Mick Jagger, Emma Watson, and Karolina Kurkova. Notably, Serena Williams spent some time on this island while on honeymoon!
Best beaches in Grand Bahama
Gold Rock Beach
Best beach for snorkeling.
Part of Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama Island, Gold Rock Beach is described as being 'as pretty as a postcard'. This high ranking beach is notorious for being one of the filming locations in the Bahamas for the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and though you're unlikely to find any pirates on your trip there, you're bound to leave rested and completed unwound.
Famous Movie Shot Here: Pirates of the Caribbean!
Fortune Beach
Fortune Beach in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas is a great place to start any beach hopping expedition. The only drawback is that once you get here, you might not want to leave. Islanders say the beach got its name after a multi-million-dollar shipwreck was discovered here. In any case, the water is calm and shallow, making it a good choice for families, especially those up for a day of adventure and exploration. Fortune Beach is located just about five miles from Port Lucaya Marketplace.
Taino Beach
Taino Beach is as beautiful as they come, and the azure waters will steal your heart as you choose from a range of activities to partake in for the day. Whether you're a fan of jet skiing, parasailing, or simply swimming in the warm waters of the Caribbean, you're bound to love Taino Beach!
Best Beaches in Eleuthera, the Bahamas.
Lighthouse Beach
Lighthouse beach on Eleuthera Island is the definition of serenity. Kick back and watch the waves lap against the shore as you regain clarity, peace, and parts of yourself long forgotten in the chaos of everyday life. A 4x4 may be required to get to the beach, as the road is quite rugged, but once you get there, you'll find that it's well worth the effort, just as soon as the first sweet smelling sea breeze greets you at the shore. When venturing to Lighthouse Beach, pack everything you'll need for the day, including food and a cooler packed with drinks on ice!
French Leave Beach
French Leave Beach is one of the notorious pink sand beaches in the Bahamas. Even with the refreshing Atlantic breeze blowing across this beach, don't forget to apply your sunscreen. French Leave is relatively quiet, so you'll want to walk with everything you'll need for the day.
Insider Tip: There is little to no shade on this beach, so walk with a beach umbrella!
Cotton Bay Beach
Cotton Bay Beach is located on the southern coast of the island of Eleuthera. If you're looking to get away from the crowd, this beach is ideal. Just over a half mile away you'll find the Cotton Bay golf Club. Cotton Bay Beach is also located in close proximity to the seaside town of Rock Sound.
Ten Bay Beach
The road to this beach is half of the adventure. If you're considering heading to Ten Bay Beach, it might be best to head there by boat as even 4-wheel drives sometimes struggle in this territory. Other than that, this is a great family friendly beach, hidden with pretty awesome sunset views. This beach is shaded by lots of trees, and it's long and winding for a good beachside stroll.
Surfer's Beach
Hang-ten, or simply just hang-out on this beach of sugary white sands. Just two miles south of Gregory Town, the surfing experience at Surfer's Beach has been compared to that of some of the best locations in Hawaii. This beach is best for strong swimmers, or people who just want a cool place to chill.
James Point Beach
One of the exclusive beaches of the Bahamas, James Point is long, wide and definitely worth a visit. On this beach you'll find an ancient shipwreck, and if you're willing to walk a few yards, a natural Jacuzzi rock formation, and another private beach! James Point is located to the north-west coast of Eleuthera.
Plum Creek Beach
One of the more family friendly locations, Plum Creek located in Deep Creek, South Eleuthera is one of the lesser known beaches in the Bahamas. Here you'll find calm and shallow seas at low tide, and waves that sweep across the main road during high tide. On the upside, there's some great scenery at Plum Creek which sets it apart from other more popular beaches in the area.
Insider Tip: You'll need to schedule a visit to this beach when the tide is low, as the road tends to get flooded with water during high tide, making passage impossible in some cases.
Best beach on Harbour island, the Bahamas.
Pink Sands Beach
There are many miraculous things waiting to be discovered in this world, and one of them is Pink Sands Beach in the Bahamas. This gem of a beach on Harbour Island is an absolute dream. It's incredibly popular with honeymooners, and with regular vacationers seeking a convenient beach getaway. To get to this beach you'll need to walk down a short dirt path through the trees. Once you set foot on its shores, you'll find little shops selling snacks and drinks to cool you off.
The best beach in Long Island, the Bahamas.
Cape Santa Maria Beach
Long Island in the Bahamas is famous for its outstanding beaches. As the best beach on Long Island, Cape Santa Marie is the most highly rated. You won't be able to stop your jaw from dropping once you get here, but what you will have control over is how quickly you're able to get suited up on the island, where the clear blue seas await.
Columbus Harbour Beach
You guessed it; Colombus Harbour Beach has something to do with Christopher Columbus. As island history would have it, Colombus passed through this area on his inaugural journey to the 'New World.' What he would have found on that journey, was a beautiful beach, about a mile long, with shallow waters, soft white sand, and just the right amount of privacy. This secluded beach is popular with honeymooners, or people who just want a beach that is off the beaten path.
The best beach in San Salvador, the Bahamas.
East Beach
East Beach is the perfect place to spend your beach bumming days while in the Bahamas. It's somewhat secluded, but you'll barely notice as there's so much to take in visually, as well as great snorkeling. Go with a group and enjoy your private beach escape.
Insider Tip: Don't forget to pack drinks and food!
Half Moon Beach (Half Moon Cay)
Half Moon Beach is the ideal place to relax, and sink into island time, particularly if you might have just packed your holiday schedule with way too many activities. The beach is beautiful, the water is clear and warm, and the shore is clean. This is a sure recipe for the most amazing beach day, and to top that off, the beach is also family friendly with its shallow waters. Half Moon is located on the tiny Half Moon Cay, a private island used predominately by cruise lines. Here you can rent out a beach chair and lounge on the sand, or swim with the stingrays.
The best beaches on Cat Island, the Bahamas.
Shanna's Cove
If you're a fan of deep-sea fishing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding, a trip to Shanna's Cove may be just right for you. Though this beach is relatively secluded, there's a restaurant and bar where you can indulge while you wait for a picture-perfect sunset. Shanna's Cove is also great for honeymooners!
Fernandez Bay
Your search for paradise ends at this hidden jewel in New Bight, Cat Island. Here you'll find amazing views, sand dollars, a bar and restaurant and other amenities close by. Cat Island is located in central Bahamas, and while on island, it's worth taking some time to explore Mount Alvernia, the nation's highest point which rises to 206 feet.
Insider Tip: Walk with bug spray!
The best beaches on the Berry Islands, the Bahamas.
Shelling Beach
Shelling Beach is a slice of heaven. Located on Great Harbour Cay, the largest of the Berry Islands, this amazing beach is calm on most days. Shelling beach is best if you're looking for a private experience, and the great views make it perfect for amazing vacation photos.
Insider Tip: Try to avoid heading to this beach on rainy days as you may have trouble navigating huge puddles.
Dannenberg Beach
Named after Doris Dannenberg, a Wisconsin woman who owns a second home on the island, Dannenberg Beach is as beautiful as it is private. Doris received island fame for her community outreach efforts, which included teaching arts and crafts to local children. Pretty much everyone else you'll find in this area is friendly and welcoming, so you can be assured of a hospitable beach environment once you go. This beach is quite secluded, so take with you everything you'll need for the day.
Insider Tip: There are lots of cool diving locations in the Berry Islands including The Hoffmann's Cay Blue Hole, Mama Rhoda Reef, and the Great Stirrup Cay.
The best beach in Bimini, the Bahamas.
Radio Beach
Whoever was charged with responsibility for naming beaches in the Bahamas surely had a grand time going about it. Radio Beach, located in the Alice Town Area of Bimini is a charm. Serene and beautiful, Radio Beach is the best beach in Bimini. Perfect and peaceful, you'll find friendly locals, food kiosks and amazing sunsets!
The best beach in Rum Cay, the Bahamas.
Picnic Bay Beach
Like the name suggests, Picnic Bay is popular with locals and tourists looking for a quiet picnic location. Picnic Bay is quiet on most days, but livens up on public holidays. Families with children will appreciate the calm and shallow waters here, and the great visibility, which adds to its snorkeling appeal.
The best beach in Mayaguana, the Bahamas.
Northwest Point Beach
To say that this island is remote is an understatement. In 2010, the population on the easternmost island of Mayaguana was 277! With that said you and your party can take a trip to Mayaguana Beach and have the beach pretty much all to yourself. Mayaguana is a popular location for snorkeling, exploring and picnicking.
The best beach in Inagua, the Bahamas.
Morton Salt's Beach
Located on Inagua Island in the Bahamas, at Morton Salt's beach you'll find plenty of relaxation in the hammocks, gazebo and cabanas on the beach front. This beach got its name because it was developed by the Morton's Salt Company, as a community outreach effort. Today it is popular for snorkeling, beach parties, and other social events.
Insider Tip: While on Inagua island visit the National Park where you can find wild donkeys and flamingos!
Beachside rules?
Beaches are overall a liberating space, but while on vacation there are a few things to keep in mind which can make your holiday that much smoother. Unlike some beaches in the United States, there are very few beach rules in the Bahamas, but here are some things you should know.
- Don't litter. You can find trash cans on most beaches, but if you don't, take your trash with you.
- Some beaches do not allow skinny dipping. Find out from your local resort or tour company ahead of time.
- Some beaches near resorts or residential areas may have rules about amplified music on the beach. Use your discretion.
- Don't take away conch shells or other forbidden items without seeking permission.
Protect your belongings
It can be hard to keep an eye on your belongings when all you want to do is make the most of your time at the beach. Here are a few ways to stay worry free during your beach vacation:
- Leave your valuables at home.
- Travel with just as much cash as you need.
- Whether you're on a secluded or more crowded beach, be aware of your surroundings.
Beach safety tips for the Bahamas
- Use sunblock.
- Be aware of safety signs.
- Do not swim while intoxicated.
- Don't go to secluded beaches alone.
- Be aware of rip currents.
- Stay hydrated to prevent heat exhaustion
- Always swim in jet ski free zones.
- Encourage kids to wear beach shoes on rocky beaches to prevent injury.
- Steer clear of beaches populated with jellyfish to avoid being stung.
- Be aware of Sea-thimble/Sea lice season (small jellyfish) in the Bahamas in the months of April until July.
So, when to go?
Picture:
The
The shoulder season is the next best time to go, and is between the months of May through July. You'll find less activities on the island during this time, but more chances of securing your first choice of accommodation with less congested resorts.
The low season is from August to November. Low season travel is ideal for people who're looking for a less crowded time to visit the islands.
All in all, there's no bad time to travel to the Bahamas to check out its best beaches. Choose the time that works for both you and your partner, and you'll be well on your way to the

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Read the full details about this destination wedding in our blog post, Mark and Casey Simpsen's Destination Wedding at UNICO 2087. This couple was also featured in the UNICO 2087 Resort blog post, UNICO Destination Wedding, Casey Shelley & Mark Simpsen
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!
Iberostar, Grand Punta Cana, Destination Wedding
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Dreams, Puerto Aventuras Resort, Destination Wedding
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
