Miami might be only 45 minutes away but The Bahamas is a world apart. Sheltered by barrier islands with names like Green Turtle Cay, the waters here are perfect for sailing and the reefs below ideal for snorkelling and diving. Try bone-fishing in the shallow waters where you see each fish before casting.

A links course has somehow found itself in a tropical paradise with long beaches of pink sand, reefs just off the coast and hummingbirds fluttering through lush hibiscus and bougainvillea. A wave crashes beside the 18th hole, sending sparkling plumes of spray into the warm air.

You can pinch yourself but the dream will not disappear. Naturally, your Oyster Circle Concierge will make all the arrangements if you want to relax at a world-class spa, chug along to a deserted beach by boat or go horse-riding in the dunes.
