There are many reasons to consider relocating to the Bahamas: the relaxing, tropical lifestyle, lots of other expats, pretty much perfect weather, outstanding beaches, a high standard of living, modern healthcare and schools and a culture rich in art, music and rum. Particularly in Nassau, the Bahamian capital, and adjacent Paradise Island, there are plenty of restaurants, casinos and events for amusement. Miami is just an hour away by plane.
