The Trip
The quintessential Bahamian lifestyle.
Come with us to the quiet one. April 24 – May 1, 2027 — seven nights at Club Med Columbus Isle, the village we call the quietest Club Med we've ever been to, in the best way. It's a Sun Sand Slope favorite: remote San Salvador island, 89 acres of brightly colored bungalows, boundless white sand alongside infinite blue water, and roundtrip air from Miami bundled into the package.
Embrace authentic, slow living. Your days fill exactly as much as you want them to — explorations on land, adventures above and below the sea, wellness experiences, and the kind of leisure that doesn't need a schedule. The all-inclusive covers delightful culinary experiences (healthy options and the freshest seafood included), and Club Med Spa by Sothys and island excursions are there when you want them. Disconnect, reset, and come home with the kind of memories that only an exotic retreat delivers.
And then there's the diving. Outstanding visibility, spectacular walls, wrecks, and rich, varied marine life — the Bahamas are a diver's paradise, and San Salvador is famous for its 30 must-see dive spots. Coral reefs, shoals of tropical fish, turtles, barracudas and more await; you'll hardly believe your eyes. We help coordinate your dive package — great for certified divers, and just as great for anyone looking to get certified.
What Makes It Special
The good stuff, built in.
A Sun Sand Slope favorite — The quietest Club Med we've ever been to — in the best way. We've stayed here, we know it firsthand, and we keep coming back. Personally vetted, genuinely loved.
Play
A PADI 5-Star dive center on site, roughly 30 marked dive sites, and San Salvador's signature wall dives in marine-reserve waters — two-tank mornings, night dives, and courses from first bubbles up. We coordinate dive packages for certified divers and first-timers working toward certification.
Rest
89 secluded acres on Bonefish Bay — refreshed top to bottom in 2022 — boundless white sand, Club Med Spa by Sothys, and a pace that asks absolutely nothing of you. This is the village people pick to truly disconnect.
Vibe
A small, warm village where faces become familiar by day two — Club Med's social magic at island volume. Quiet doesn't mean lonely; it means room to actually connect.
Roundtrip air from Miami included — Your flight from Miami (MIA) to San Salvador and back is bundled into the package — one easy hop, then toes in the sand.
All-inclusive, Club Med style — Two restaurants — The Christopher's (the grand colonial main room) and La Pinta Beach Lounge (Mediterranean, fresh seafood, al fresco) — plus four bars, open bar, and snacking. No wallet required between the pier and the pillow.
Land, sea & wellness — Included at this village: sailing school, snorkeling, kayak, paddleboard, wingfoil, tennis, beach volleyball, fitness, and the yoga by Jonah Kest program — fill every day or none of them.
Late April in the Bahamas — One of San Salvador's driest months, with water around 78°F — prime conditions for beach days, boat days, and wall dives alike.
Day by Day
How the week unfolds.
Sat · Apr 24
Miami → San Salvador
Fly from Miami to San Salvador — the flight is included in your package — and make the five-minute transfer to the village. Settle into your bungalow, find the beach, and meet us for an informal welcome hello as the group lands.
Apr 25 – 30
Six island days, yours to shape
Dive mornings for the certified (and lessons for the soon-to-be), snorkeling, beach and pool time, spa afternoons, long dinners, and absolutely nothing if that's the plan. Optional excursions go from sunset cruises and bonefishing to Landfall Park — where Columbus first stepped ashore in 1492. Travel with friends and we'll keep your group together; on your own, it's an easy, social week — or as quiet as you like.
Sat · May 1
San Salvador → Miami
One last slow morning on the white sand, then the included flight back to Miami with a camera roll that doesn't look real.
San Salvador, Bahamas
White sand, water in every shade of blue — and the dive boat waiting at the pier.
A Look Around
From bubble rings to bungalow balconies — a look around the island.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Is this a typical group trip?
It's the same easy format as our other resort weeks: a curated week you can just book. You book your own room with us, everyone travels the same dates (with the Miami flight bundled in), and it's social when you want it, quiet when you don't — bring friends and we'll seat you together.
How does the flight work?
Your package includes roundtrip air from Miami (MIA) to San Salvador (ZSA). You get yourself to Miami — we're happy to help with routing from your home airport — and the rest is handled: the island airport is five minutes from the village, transfers included.
I'm a certified diver — what should I know?
Bring your certification card and logbook. The on-site dive center is a PADI 5-Star operation running two-tank mornings, afternoon dives, and weekly night dives from dive catamarans — with nitrox available, and a hyperbaric chamber and dive doctor right on the island. San Salvador's signature is wall diving: vertical drop-offs in protected marine-reserve waters, roughly 30 marked sites, turtles, rays, reef sharks, and visibility you have to see to believe. Dive packages are priced separately, and we coordinate yours before you go so you step off the plane ready to step onto the boat.
I'm not certified — can I still dive?
Yes — this is a great trip to get certified. The on-site center teaches PADI Open Water and beyond (ages 10+). Tell us early and we'll map the right path; many travelers start their coursework at home so vacation time goes to actual diving. Prefer to stay at the surface? The snorkeling is spectacular, and it's included — lessons too.
What does “all-inclusive” cover at Columbus Isle?
All meals at the village's two restaurants — The Christopher's and the beachfront La Pinta — plus four bars with open bar and snacking. Included activities: sailing school, snorkeling, kayak, stand-up paddle, wingfoil, tennis, beach volleyball, fitness, yoga, bocce, pool time, and nightly entertainment — plus taxes and gratuities. Premium add-ons sold separately: scuba packages, Club Med Spa by Sothys, and island excursions.
Is Columbus Isle really that quiet?
Yes — it's the most secluded Club Med we know, and that's exactly why we love it. Small village, remote island, no crowds, no noise. It's not adults-only — kids are welcome and there's a teens club for 11–17 — but with no kids' club below 11 it naturally skews adult and serene. If you're after big-resort energy and a packed family calendar, our Club Med Cancún week is the better fit — this one is for disconnecting.
What's the Club Med membership fee?
Club Med charges a one-time membership fee of $60 per adult / $30 per child, required for all bookings and not included in the package price.
Single occupancy?
Single supplement available — contact us for pricing. We can also help match a roommate from the group if you'd prefer the double rate.
