Anytime I get to “kill two birds with one stone”, I’m all for it! Beautiful beach getaway + celebrating with my cousin before she gets married = yes, please! I was one of the co-hosts for my cousin’s bachelorette party and she mentioned that she wanted to go somewhere beachy. After looking at airfares and hotels/houses, we decided on Nassau, Bahamas! It is a short flight from Houston (and even shorter flight from her college friends in Atlanta) which meant we could get the most out of our long weekend.
Our first night on the island, we had dinner at the Compass Point Beach Resort. The food there was really good (I recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau) but the best part was their location. We sat outside and got to watch our first Bahamian sunset… and then got attacked by a bat. Yup, a bat flew over to our table and then got stuck under the table and was hitting everyone’s legs. All of us were screaming and all the other tables were laughing and staring. Ain’t no party like a crazy bat party, cause a crazy bat party don’t stop!
Gah it looks so beautiful! I've always wanted to visit the Bahamas but as a Canadian heading to Mexico or Cuba have always been cheaper options!
Ah! So gorgeous! This puts my NOLA bachelorette party to serious shame.
Gorgeous photos! I've never been to the Bahamas but I definitely want to go! And yes, this makes my simple bachelorette party look like child's play 🙂 what a fun adventure for all of you!
NOLA is so much fun though! Now, you're surrounded by beautiful beaches! 🙂
Have you been to Cuba? I was actually looking into that since the USA might ease up on travel restrictions to Cuba. I heard they have gorgeous beaches!
No, I haven't! A lot of people I know have been and some were even married there! Everyone says it's gorgeous, though people do often complain about the food.
This sounds like the ultimate girls trip!
Looks like a wonderful vacation!

I never been to Bahamas before, but looking at your pics I really REALLY want to. Like now!
It was definitely a great trip… and relaxing which usually isn't the case when it comes to bachelorette parties! ha
The sunshine was so nice! And the clear blue water! Can't winter be over with already! 🙂
It's gorgeous there, definitely worth a trip! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
It was! It was a lot of fun but also super relaxing especially in bachelorette party standards!
What a great idea for a Bachelorette party! I tried to get my girlfriends to go to Paris for mine ( I was living in England at the time) but no one wanted to leave their kids for a weekend!
I still can't get over the fact that you took all of these photos with your phone!!

Paris?! I would have gone with you! ha Out of the 10 girls in our group, I was the only one with kids… and trust me, it was a nice break!
How fun for a bachelorette party!! It looks so low key and relaxing!! I can't get over how clear the water is either!!!
The water was like a swimming pool, it was insane! The bachelorette party was definitely relaxing… which isn't the norm for most bachelorette parties! lol
Wow, what a great idea for a bachelorette party! Looks like it was a special time to share with your cousin (and the rest of the girls) before her wedding. And those pictures of sunshine and the beach are making me happy on this cold winter day!
I've never been to the Bahamas but a trip to anywhere in the Carribbean is going to beautiful with amazing beaches- such a great part of the world for that and as Americans, I feel so lucky to live (somewhat) near! This makes my bachelorette party I'm planning sound really boring…. I just wanna have it in Seattle because I miss the city but all of the other girls probably wish I would plan something more like this 🙂
