Last time we joined forces with cocktail mover & shaker Kyle Jones from Young's Fine Wine , we set out to re-imagine the classic Gin-Gin Mule as The Eleutheran Breeze, unlocking bold new Bahamian flavors. This time, we are teaming up with Kyle once again to rethink an old-time seasonal favorite - hot apple cider. Hot cider in The Bahamas!? Yes, we may be in the tropics, but you just can't beat the christmassy feeling of a warm "winter" tipple...
Read MoreIn this episode, we get to spend some quality studio time with the inimitable Lynn Parotti, a London-based Bahamian artist whom, in the wise words of the formidable D.H Lawrence above, is truly in the business of art - her visceral oil paintings exploring the intersection of the natural environment and the human experience.
Read MoreWelcome to the first in our Cacique Resort Review series in which we offer you a snapshot of our exceptional partner resorts around the beautiful islands of The Bahamas. We begin our journey at The Cove Eleuthera, a intimate resort as unique and alluring as the name of the island itself. Eleuthera derives from the feminine Greek adjective ἐλεύθερος (eleutheros), meaning "free."
Read MoreIn martial arts, they say it takes a lifetime to become a master - to transcend the art form. It comes from years and years of repetition - practising the same moves again and again until it becomes clockwork. Smooth. Precise. Seemingly effortless. Only then can you take a step back and reflect on the art itself...
Read MorePainter and transplant Thierry Lamare has called The Bahamas his home for almost thirty years. Over that period, he has become a keen observer of the Bahamian landscape, its people, customs, and traditions, some of which are slowly fading, others shifting quickly like the dying light which he captures so evocatively.
Read MoreIn October, 1816 the foundation stone of The Hog Island (now Paradise Island) Lighthouse was laid and the building completed around one year later.

To this day, it guards the western entrance to Nassau Harbour.
Read MoreAt the southern end of Parliament Square on Bay Street, sits the distinctive flamingo-pink octagon of the Nassau Public Library. Constructed as a jail in 1797, a place full of noise and chaos, it was reborn in 1879 as a public library, a small oasis of tranquility in the humdrum of busy downtown Nassau.
Read MoreWelcome to Cacique’s Artist In The Spotlight series - a journey into a thriving Bahamian art scene and a look at some of the most celebrated artists, as well as the movers and shakers garnering a name for themselves in The Bahamas and around the world.

Read MoreWe agree with Noel Coward. It is never too early for a cocktail - especially in the balmy heat of a Bahamian summer with a cocktail that combines sweet local pineapple with freshly-squeezed lime juice and homegrown basil (plus the odd splash of gin). Indeed. That's the breakfast of rockstars and kings.
Read MoreIn this Discover Cacique episode, we tell the tale of Lord Dunmore, dubbed by historians as the most eccentric man in Bahamian history, who was to leave this island nation with a collection of forts that stand to this day as testament to one man's obsessive nature.
Read MoreIn this new take on an established classic, Culinary Producer & Chef Monica Hutchinson redefines chicken souse, elevating the taste experience with the addition of a welcome crunch and borrowing certain aesthetic elements from Japanese Ramen.

Read MoreThis is why we love our growing collection of "quite useless" Bahamian art - because each day, each individual piece may give us reason to stop in our tracks, contemplate beauty in all its facets and Just Imagine the possibilities of another at the office...
Read MoreIn 1972, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time and a brand new black, gold and aquamarine flag was raised in its place. Forty-three years of independence from the crown but The Bahamas continues to hold dear many of its colonial relics. Positioned on the ridge, overlooking Nassau harbor and Downtown Bay Street, you will find the stately Villa Doyle, now reincarnated as the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas.
Read MoreBahama Hand Prints was founded in 1966 by two artists - Berta Sands and Helen Astarita - who were inspired to start their own hand screen-printing business after visiting the Key West Hand Prints company on a holiday to the Florida Keys.
