In December of '21, I went on a two week trip to the Bahamas with my college bestie. It was a perfect winter vacation to experience before going home for the holidays.
It's an incredibly easy travel experience from NYC -- nonstop flight to the Bahamas & short drive to the resort once you land. We splurged to get a suite at The Atlantis, which I definitely recommend since you spend so much time at the resort.
It was a beautiful winter getaway trip with a touch of nightlife as well. Great for Bachelorette parties, birthday parties and reunion trips.
