Atlantis-Paradise Island
One of the joys of living in Boston is the changing seasons. The soft spring breezes turn into the warmth of beaches in summer, which then evolve into fiery vistas of autumn. However, soon after the first snowfall, even the hardiest New Englander begins to dream of a tropical escape. Fortunately, Boston is conveniently located just a few hours away by plane from some of the best Caribbean islands ... where white sands and turquoise surf await. For a quick romantic getaway and the best golf and spa experience, Bermuda is like no other place on earth. The island offers resort hotels with numerous dining and amenity options, expansive swimming pools and beaches or access to a beach club. Bermuda also offers smaller more intimate guesthouses, with breakfast included. As the oldest member of the British Commonwealth, the island offers traditions and heritage of England, such as afternoon teatime, while looking out over pink sands and clear azure sea as far as the eye can see. It is this mix of the old and the new, the casual and the elegant, that make this island unique. If a quick family vacation is what you long for, Nassau/Paradise Island, one of the most popular islands of the Bahamas, is a perfect choice. Cable Beach in Nassau boasts one of the finest white-sand beaches in the world and ideally situated alongside the impressive Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort. This newly renovated resort offers three swimming pools with cascading waterfalls and an active kids club. Another choice for family fun is the world-renowned Atlantis-Paradise Island, which is just across the bridge from Nassau on Paradise Island. This enormous, unique resort features the world’s largest marine habitat, home to more than 50,000 sea animals living in 14 exhibit lagoons. Kids and adults will enjoy exploring AQUAVENTURE, a new innovative waterscape of thrilling slides, rivers and rides, as well as 20 swimming areas. Families can interact with the gentle dolphins in Dolphin Cay. Atlantis offers a large Las Vegas-style casino, a variety of dining options from relaxed to gourmet, Atlantis Kids Adventure club, Gamer’s Reef and Club Rush for teens. ^p64
