VUE

Situated on Bimini, Bahamas - the closest Caribbean island to the U.S. just 50 miles off the coast of South Florida - Resorts World Bimini welcomes travelers to a pristine paradise without the need to stray too far from home. e oceanfront complex encompasses a chic Hilton hotel with 305 rooms including 18 ground floor suites, four pools, an incredible spa, a private marina for boats and yachts up to 100 feet in length, a lively casino, and seven restaurants and bars. One of its most recent additions includes Resorts World Bimini Beach: a day club where laidback luxury meets Tulum vibes with private cabanas, two pools, VIP bottle service, DJ entertainment, and a four- acre stretch of beautiful white-sand beach. It has also welcomed big-name entertainers on its stage, such as Iggy Azalea, Ja Rule, Flo Rida, Ky-Mani Marley and more, solidifying its title as the place to see-and-be-seen on the island. For downtime, guests can pass by the Serenity Spa for a revitalizing treatment, enjoy bites from the Sushi Bar - created by Top Chef winner Hung Hyunh - for some of the freshest seafood on the island, or take in the Bahamian sun from the rooop infinity pool (bonus: it's adults-only). Every Saturday, Resorts World guests are invited to an exclusive event on the rooop to enjoy a sunset happy hour and hors d'oeuvres while taking in the uninterrupted views of Bimini Bay. How to get there: hop on a direct flight to Nassau and connect to Bimini via Western Air, or fly first to Ft. Lauderdale then hop on a brief 25-minute seaplane flight with Tropic Ocean Airways or two-ferry ride aboard the Balearia Caribbean. e resort also began welcoming world-class cruise ships with the completion of the RW Bimini Cruise Port in late 2021, which most notably docks Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady, as well as Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruises.
