Miami & Bahamas Multi & Twin Centre 2025 & 2026

With year-round warm weather, it’s never a truly bad time to plan your Miami and Bahamas multi-centre holiday, but to avoid the hurricane season and the high season crowds, we recommend November or late-April. Spring break visitors will have thinned dramatically by the end of April in both Miami and the Bahamas, with the latter also enjoying the start of the outdoor fish fry season at this time. April temperatures in Miami hover around 26°C, while in the Bahamas it is similar at around 25°C.

November, meanwhile, also sees temperatures around 26°C in Miami and highs of 28°C in the Bahamas, dropping to just 22°C on rare cool days.

Both Miami and the Bahamas are generally 5 hours behind the UK, each observing Eastern Standard Time (EST). 

However, if you’re travelling in March or November, look out for when their time zones change to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), as US clocks go forward or backward an hour on different Sundays than in the UK.

Fly into Miami International Airport (MIA), with direct flights from both London Heathrow (LHR) and London Gatwick (LGW), as well as one-stop flights from Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Bristol. 

For the Bahamas, fly into Lynden Pindling International Airport (formerly Nassau International Airport – NAS), with a direct flight from LHR; with a 9-hour flight time and that 5-hour time difference, you can take off in the morning and be on the beach by the afternoon.

he planners among us will be in their element, since we are proud to offer guaranteed prices up to 36 months ahead of your multi-centre holiday. That’s right, you can secure your perfect package with an initial low deposit today and pay the remainder of your holiday off in monthly instalments.  

Unless you’re visiting in the rainy seasons of June to November, you can’t go wrong with packing t-shirts, shorts, and light summer dresses for your visit to both Miami and the Bahamas. If you’re visiting in the winter months, though, you’ll want to bring a light jacket or jumper for the cooler nights, when temperatures can drop to 17°C in Miami and 18°C.

Of course, if you are visiting during the rainy season, don’t forget those waterproofs! Miami typically receives around 70% of its average annual rainfall in these months, and the Bahamas sees nearly 9 inches of rain in June alone.

Miami is as known for its beaches as it is for its culture and vibrant nightlife, with over 15 incredible beach spots to explore during your visit. We recommend planning your first beach day at possibly its most famous: South Beach. The impressive shoreline is not to be missed, with an incredible backdrop of Art Deco architecture and swaying palms. 

Other fantastic Miami beaches include Crandon Park Beach on Key Biscayne, where miles of stunning shoreline boasts not only a wonderful spot to relax, but also fun park activities to delight and entertain, including volleyball, tennis, and biking. Families, meanwhile, will adore Virginia Key Beach Park with its land train and antique carousel, which the little ones will love. 

Watersports fanatics should head to Hobie Beach, known as Windsurfer Beach thanks to its prime windsurfing opportunities; find it near Key Biscayne and Downtown Miami.

Bahamas’ beaches are an undeniable part of what makes the islands so popular, with an abundance to choose from during your visit. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourites for you to discover during your visit.

First, head to the Exuma Cays – 365 islands boasting spectacular sandbars, our favourite of which being Pipe Creek. This spacious patch of soft sand offers an authentically Bahamian beach experience, although be sure to get your timings right, as the beach disappears when the tide rises. Exuma’s Tropic of Cancer beach is also worth a visit; the longest beach in the Exuma chain, its superb blue waters and calm surroundings make it an idyllic and unforgettable setting.

The Bahamas’ famous Pink Sand Beach is also not to be missed, which gets its name from the pink hue of its three-mile stretch of soft sands. Pink Sand Beach is the perfect setting for rest and relaxation.

We also recommend Great Guana Cay in Abaco, with its miles of white sand and turquoise waters great for running, snorkelling, and collecting seashells. While you’re here, head to the famous Nipper’s Beach Bar that overlooks the beach, which is popular with locals and visitors alike.

Why not stay a little longer and explore them all with a Bahamas multi-centre holiday?    

Crowned as one of the islands’ best-loved attractions, enjoy a little pig-cuddling therapy on what’s known as Pig Island at Exuma (officially, though, the beach is Big Major Cay). What started as just 5 baby piglets in the 1990s are now over 20 squealing pigs and one of the reasons millions flock to the Bahamas each year.

While the swimming pigs are feral, they are incredibly friendly, and will let you swim up to them. You can pet and gently touch the pigs, but please keep in mind they are wild animals, and the island is their home (in fact, the island has no full-time human inhabitants). 

Both Miami and the Bahamas enjoy seafood-heavy cuisines, thanks largely to their stunning settings on the oceanfront. In Miami, savour fresh ceviche, stone crab, and fried snapper, as well as cuisine heavily inspired by Cuban heritage; no visit to the Magic City is complete without sampling a Cuban sandwich, made with ham, roasted pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread.

Conch salad (pronounced conk) is a staple of the Bahamian diet, made with fresh, diced conch and an array of diced fruit and vegetables. In fact, conch is used in a range of popular Bahamas dishes, including Cracked Conch (battered and deep fried), Conch Fritters, and Conch Stew. And when it comes to side dishes, make sure to try pigeon peas and rice – a true Bahamian classic, commonly made from pork, pigeon peas, celery, rice, tomatoes, and thyme. Delicious! 
          

Bahamians have a very distinct way of speaking, with a creole dialect that can be difficult for foreigners to understand. But don’t fret; English is widely spoken in the Bahamas, so it’s unlikely you’ll have any major communication issues. 

If you want to learn a little of the local dialect before you visit though, here are a few words and phrases you may hear during your visit:

“Switcha” – a refreshing local lemonade, usually made with limes.
“What da wybe is?” – a greeting meaning “what’s up?”
“Bey” – used to refer to a person, male or female.
