Miami Beach is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. Take an Art Deco tour of Miami Beach to fully appreciate the area's signature architecture. The South Beach Art Deco District is a whimsical collection of more than 800 architecturally protected buildings in Miami Beach from the 1930s and 1940s – a definite must-see. Stay in one of its boutique or throwback hotels – you'll also find some of Miami Beach's finest dining, nightlife and spas here. North Beach's Ocean Terrace is fast becoming a smaller version of South Beach, with inviting oceanfront hotels and cafés. Regardless, be sure to go for a beachside stroll or to Haulover Park for fishing, bike rides, tennis or golf. And, of course, Miami Beach’s nightlife always concludes an unforgettable vacation day.

Nassau, located on New Providence, is the capital of the Bahamas and boasts a blend of vibrant Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. Nassau is positioned on the northern tip of New Providence, overlooking the bay between the main island and Paradise Island. The vast majority of the country's population resides in Nassau on New Providence Island and in the Freeport area on Grand Bahama. Nassau showcases a blend of vibrant Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. The colonial beauty of the Historical Town of Nassau is well worth a visit. The pink Parliament Building, which has a statue of a seated Queen Victoria out front, is the most stunning sight in Nassau. The Pirate Museum is another major attraction in Nassau. The interactive museum tells the story of the history of pirates. The City of Nassau is landscaped in a beautiful tropical setting. The local greenery is purely captivating and the variety of tropical plants they've preserved here certainly add to the charm of the country. The Bahama Islands draw in tourists with their favourable climate and relaxed lifestyle, their stunning and vibrant nature, their crystal blue waters and their friendly locals.
