Acklins and Crooked Island are the kind of places you dream about when you think of escaping it all. Located in southern Bahamas, these two islands are pure, unspoiled paradise. No crowds, no noise—just endless beaches, clear waters, and the kind of tranquility that’s hard to find anywhere else. If you’re craving that private, luxurious vibe where it feels like the world is yours, this is where you need to be on your superyacht.

Separated by the Bight of Acklins, a 1000-square-mile lagoon, these islands are a sanctuary of natural beauty. The beaches stretch out for miles too, and most of the time, your footprints will be the only ones in the sand. The locals, only about 400 people that live across both islands, are welcoming and relaxed, happy to share their peaceful corner of the world. Exploring by yacht is the best way to take it all in and enjoy the laid-back and blissfully quiet atmosphere.

Start your day drifting through the lagoon. The undisturbed waters are perfect for snorkeling or just floating with a drink in hand. You can see different kinds of fish and maybe even a sea turtle in coral areas. If you want to try something new, you can raft or kayak along the mangrove-lined shores.

On Crooked Island, make sure you visit Turtle Sound. This nine-mile stretch of winding coves and mangroves is pure magic. The birdlife is incredible too, and the peaceful atmosphere feels like a secret only a few lucky people know about. If you’re into fishing, the bonefishing here is second to none.

Step out of your yacht and take a stroll through some of the tiny settlements on Crooked Island, like French Wells and Gun Point. These places feel frozen in time, with charming remnants of early plantation life. Engage with the locals over a cool drink and hear their stories of life in this remote paradise.

Your adventure will continue over on Acklins Island. Discover hidden limestone caves or stroll along deserted beaches. The coral reefs here are a diver’s dream too. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more exhilarating, try deep-sea fishing or even paragliding when the weather’s right. The views from above are absolutely surreal—green islands surrounded by endless shades of blue.

There’s something about Acklins and Crooked island that stays with you long after you leave. The peace, the beauty, the sense of complete freedom—it’s everything you could hope for in a getaway. Here, luxury is about having the space, the time, and the undisturbed surroundings to truly relax and recharge.
