MIAMI, September 11, 2025 — Framed by white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, Resorts World Bimini is ready to greet new visitors to the island thanks to American Airlines’ debut of nonstop service from Miami International Airport to South Bimini early next year. Taking off on Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend 2026, the launch of the convenient 30-minute flight arrives just in time for spontaneous escapes and romantic getaways.
The new route will operate three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, with departures from Miami at 10:05 am and return flights from Bimini to Miami 11:40 am. This new airlift dramatically increases the accessibility to the island. With more than 90 U.S. airports offering direct connections into MIA, travelers from across the country can now easily escape to Bimini’s famed beaches.
“This is a huge milestone for Bimini and an opportunity to step into the spotlight as one of The Bahamas’ most exciting destinations,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East. “Today’s travelers are craving escapes that feel far away yet are easy to reach, and with American Airlines’ new nonstop flights from Miami, paradise is just 30 minutes from takeoff to touch down. This new airlift opens the door for more guests to discover the island’s natural beauty and laidback lifestyle, only made better by the world-class amenities and unmatched vacation experience that we’re able to offer at Resorts World Bimini.”
At the heart of Bimini, Resorts World Bimini welcomes travelers with a blend of luxury, adventure and authentic island charm. Guests can unwind in sophisticated accommodations, relax in pools overlooking the ocean and picturesque beaches inclusive of private areas reserved for resort guests. The culinary experiences range from casual bites poolside to elevated fine dining, while nightlife venues bring energy and entertainment beyond the pink-hued sunsets. A world-class casino overlooking the waters brings a touch of Vegas to paradise. Bimini’s recent addition of the Fisherman’s Village connects guests with local culture, shopping and the adventure of island excursions. More than just a resort, Resorts World Bimini offers the ultimate gateway to discovering the beauty, history and spirit of the Bahamas.
“This is a true game-changer for Bimini,” said Victor Karavias, Senior Vice President of Operations. “With American Airlines’ new service, our island is now more accessible than ever, inviting travelers from across the country to experience the natural beauty, rich culture, and warm hospitality that make Bimini so special.”
