Where Chefs Go: The Bahamas

"When Regan goes, she stays at the Marley Resort & Spa in Nassau, the capital city. 'This is [Bob Marley’s] old house turned into a boutique hotel,' she says. Following an assassination attempt in Jamaica in 1976, Bob and Rita Marley spotted this former governer’s mansion and decided to convert it into their private vacation home. 'There are very few employees, [and] you see the same people almost everyday.' Lush gardens and an oceanfront location give the hotel a sense of quiet that Regan loves. 'If you go off season,' she says, 'you're likely to have the place to yourself, which is amazing.'" - Marguerite Imbert
