Labor Day Weekend is that sign that summer is winding down and work, school and the reality of life are going to dominate your days for quite some time. With that being said, this long weekend gives you one last hurrah to get in fun, travel, family and friends and there are plenty of opportunities to make the most of this three-day weekend. Splash Magazines Worldwide has put together a list of some of the best travel deals out there that offer up a chance to vacation one last time before the leaves begin to fall off the trees.
Resorts World Bimini
Sitting just 50 miles off the coast of South Florida, the island of Bimini makes for a perfect quick escape to celebrate Labor Day Weekend, and Resort World Bimini’s ‘Fall Madness‘ package which offers savings of up to 35% off your stay is just the icing on top. To close out summer, and kick off fall, the package includes roundtrip transportation, hotel stay, and live entertainment at RW Bimini Beach – a 4.5 acre private beach, all weekend long. The expansive Resorts World Bimini sits on a beachfront complex in The Bahamas with a Hilton hotel, private marina, incredible spa, casino, RW Bimini Beach, and Fisherman’s Village – an open air shopping center. With so much to do on-property, guests may never want to leave; but should they get the inkling to head into the local town and explore, all they need is a golf cart rental from a local vendor. While driving through the small town, they can embark on an island-wide bar crawl, snack on famous Bahamian conch salad and fritters at Stuart’s or Joe’s Conch Shack along the way, visit the Gallant Lady shipwreck for over-the-top Instagram images, talk with local Ansil Saunders (who served as Martin Luther King Jr.’s tour guides during his many travels to Bimini), and stop at Radio Beach – the longest stretch of white sand on the island – to revitalize with a freshly-cut coconut in hand.
