The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort

On the north side of Paradise Island, emerging from the white sands of one of the world's most stunning natural beaches, the Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort beautifully blends into the tropical landscape, set in manicured gardens of bougainvillea and surrounded by palm trees. Connected to New Providence by two bridges, it makes heading out for a day of activities or a vibrant evening in Nassau incredibly easy.

The rooms have an island villa feel, with dark woods, white linens and retro plantation-style furnishings, and many have a spectacular oceanfront location. Alongside fresh and contemporary interiors, large windows and veranda doors open up onto the swaying palm trees and ocean views. For ultimate luxury, the Villa Residences are an opulent choice, evoking true island luxury.

The resort has five bars and restaurants, including the renowned Dune restaurant, where expert chef Jean-George Vongerichten serves imaginative cuisine overlooking the ocean. For laidback poolside dining, the Ocean restaurant's delicious menu features fresh fish, while the Versailles Terrace offers an irresistible Mediterranean feast. Have a nightcap in the elegant Martini Bar and Lounge.

Scattered around the tropical gardens are six tennis courts, three swimming pools (including one for families and one that is just for adults), and a Balinese-style spa whose blissful treatments use natural ingredients such as sea lavender, coconut and samphire.

Nature provides the best playground, with spectacular blue waters that play host to a variety of activities - including diving, snorkelling, sailing, water-skiing and windsurfing. Of course you can just relax along the pristine beach and admire the views.

Entertainment for all ages starts at the children's club (for 4-12 year olds), while teen guests can visit nearby Atlantis, a water wonderland with an abundance of activities. 

There is a world-class golf course not far away, or head into nearby Nassau and enjoy a horse-drawn carriage tour, or visit one of the many Bahamian art galleries.
