The Exumas, Bahamas
The Exumas are an archipelago of 365 cays and islands, beginning just 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Nassau, an exotic collection of tiny jewels set in beautiful aquamarine and sapphire water. Great Exuma Island, together with the Exuma Cays offer an amazing variety of vacation possibilities, from resorts and hotels with luxury amenities to basic fishing lodges. Hidden coves, bays, and harbours throughout are magnets for yachts and sport fishermen. [Source]

Nicolas Cage
David Copperfield
Ali Daei
Johnny Depp
