Dune - Travelers will have one more meal to dress up for at Dune, located at The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort. With a menu by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, expect delicious offerings like yellowfin tartare, shrimp satay, and roasted grouper with lime chili sauce. |
Best Times to Visit - Peak season lasts from mid-December to mid-April, when the weather is at its most glorious. This is also when crowds descend on the islands, so you’ll have to contend with higher prices and other tourists. |
It never gets much colder than 60 degrees Fahrenheit in The Bahamas, so there’s not really a “bad” time to visit. Do keep in mind that the Atlantic hurricane season stretches from June to November, though, which is worth considering when you’re booking your trip. |
