OUT ISLANDS, BAHAMAS Over 600 islands make up The Out Islands of The Bahamas stretching along one of the world’s largest barrier reefs. The locals call them “The Family Islands,” and they are one of the most underrated pre/post programs in the region. If your meeting, conference or incentive event is based in Nassau or Grand Bahama, it’s just a short hop to a sublime land where time stands still. The water is among the most beautiful in the world, and the cuisine is always fresh daily. According to Valery Brown-Alce, director of the Out Island Promotion Board, “They are an unforgettable boutique experience. If you’re talking the Out Islands, you’re talking water sports, fly-fishing, sailing and yachting, private aviation, and customized fun.” Abaco is busy with ferries coming and going from the smaller isles, creating a Nantucket-like vibe. The go-to classic is Green Turtle Club Marina & Resort, which is an old English settlement rich in colonial architecture. The busy marina is a crucial pit stop for seafarers, so there’s always good energy around the resort. There are also three private dining rooms for 100 diners. On Eleuthera, The Cove, Eleuthera fronts a scalloped bay and pink sand beach. Following a major rehab this spring, the 60 rooms and villas are beautifully turned out with chic residential decor and minimalist design. Another 10 beachfront suites will open soon just 27 steps from the water. For small meetings, three villas have dining space for 15 attendees.
