Get ready to add to your bucket lists as a private island in the Bahamas is about to open as a holiday destination for Brits!

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve , owned by MSC Cruises, has everything you could want for an idyllic break from white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters to wellness offerings and heaps of gourmet dining.

Now we've got a sneak peek of what's on offer in a new tour video offering renderings of the island - and it's as glamorous as you would expect.

We're talking huge stretches of picture-perfect shores with plenty of cabanas for luxury beachfront lounging, heaps of lush greenery for a spectacular backdrop, spacious restaurants with al fresco dining and big buffets, and a jam-packed activities programme.

We've even got a sneak peek at the Great Lagoon beach at the centre of the island which gives some of the Caribbean's best beaches a run for their money.  (The reserve actually boasts two miles of sandy shores with seven beaches!)

Other highlights include the Lighthouse, a 30m tall landmark where guests can take in sea views from the bar and terrace, as well as Seakers Food Court where you can expect seriously delicious meals courtesy of the large buffet.

The best part is that Brits won't need to wait long if they want to go and check it out for themselves.

Ocean Cay will be opening in November 2019 - but you'll need to book a cruise holiday.

That's because the reserve is open exclusively to MSC Cruises guests, with the island featuring as a destination on heaps of the cruise line's Caribbean itineraries .

(Oh and yes, you can already book your trip!).

Formerly a sand extraction site, the 120-square-acre restored island has been restored to be an idyllic paradise.

It will also be surrounded by a 64-square-mile marine reserve and four smaller cays.

In fact, one of the priorities on the island is the restoration of the coral, with plenty of conservation efforts to help provide a habitat for marine life and protecting the coastlines.
