The Commonwealth of the Bahamas comprises 16 islands. The many resorts that can be found along its beaches have long been a major source of income for the country. Bahamian culture is a unique blend of European and African influences, and with the official language being English, you won’t have much trouble getting around as a tourist!
Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is a must-visit if you wish to encounter swimming pigs and enjoy a wide range of water activities, including diving and snorkelling. Are you into fishing? You cannot give Deep Water Cay a miss, and you may even be considering booking your stay at one of the top fishing lodges in the Bahamas. Read on to see your options.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 22, 2025.

2. Bahama Sunset, Eleuthera (from USD 354)
Bahama Sunset is a property that has been built for two and is particularly recommended for couples. With no WiFi provided, you can truly switch off and spend some quality time with your partner.
Keep in mind that the island of Eleuthera is a quiet rural island, and you will need a car to access many of the other islands. Fishing guides, charters, as well as rentals for bikes, kayaks and surfboard can be arranged with the caretaker.
On Eleuthera, you will be well positioned to go fishing for species that include bonefish and barracuda. In your own private lagoon that comes with the oceanfront house, you will find moray eels, lobsters, crabs and a variety of other sea life. Because the island is mostly populated by local fishermen and farmers, you will be able to get any fishing tips you need from them!
