Club Med Columbus Isle, in Bahamas, dive into a pristine Bahamian paradise

The Bahamas Archipelago is made up of 700 islands and islets scattered over more than 885 km. This Archipelago stretches from southeast Florida to Cuba and Haiti.

Tucked away on the remote island of San Salvador, our all-inclusive resort in the Bahamas boasts world-class scuba diving and pristine white sandy beaches. Inspired by Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas, our elegant, colonial-style, beach side resort is a hidden gem and the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Disconnect from stress and reconnect with each other at this exotic Bahamian paradise.

Over 30 years ago, we opened the Village of Columbus Isle. While the nostalgia of the 80s is all the rage, it can be said that there is nothing retro about Columbus Isle these days. With new rooms, a new restaurant, diverse fitness options, this diving paradise is even more beautiful!

There is something that has not changed in 30 years – the beach is just as beautiful.
