"Set on a whopping 35 acres of Paradise Island, I found this low-rise beachfront resort to feel like one of Nassau’s most luxurious stays — it even had a cameo in the opening scenes of Casino Royale. The grounds include a sculpture garden inspired by Versailles, a swimming pool overlooking the Atlantic, and a spa with Balinese-style treatment bungalows offering Bahamian-inspired treatments. Rooms have been recently refreshed in crisp cottons, creams, and pale blues, many letting you wake to the lull of the sea, and the opulent beachfront villas with private infinity plunge pools are truly show-stopping. By night the main house hums with bow ties, dirty martinis, and jazz drifting on the breeze." - Annabelle Spranklen
"A luxury Bahamian resort is hosting summer weekend-long wellness retreats led by integrated health coach Nora Tobin, founder of Nora’s Naturals, built around her four signature pillars—Restore, Perform, Nourish, and Glow—to weave personal wellbeing into a vacation without sacrificing indulgence. Guests can choose an immersive three-day program or pick activities a la carte; weekends include small-group classes, individual sessions, and seminars designed to offer approachable tools that are easy to integrate into everyday and professional life. Highlights from sample programming include beachside yoga followed by a glass of Champagne, opportunities for social connection (and passionfruit martinis by the sea), and a variety of restorative and performance-focused practices. The property sits on 35 acres of tropical grounds with three pools (including the Versailles pool featured in the James Bond film Casino Royale), a fitness center, tennis and golf courts, and a Balinese-style spa. Upcoming weekend themes and dates are Restore and Renew (June 6–8: reparative sleep, stress reset, biological age optimization), Fitness and Performance (July 18–20: metabolic transformation, performance nutrition, athletic recovery), and Nourish and Glow (Aug. 3–5: natural fat burning, anti-aging nutrition, and detoxing)." - Alessandra Amodio Alessandra Amodio Alessandra Amodio is a fine art photographer, writer, traveler, and dirty martini enthusiast who lives in New York City.

"A luxurious resort in the Bahamas offering pristine beaches, world-class service, and exclusive amenities for guests."
"As a kid, I visited the Four Seasons in the Bahamas every year with my family. It was a really special time to bond." - Riann Phillip
"Not only will you feel like a celebrity here, but you might just brush by a few at this beachfront resort with a 12th-century Augustinian cloister and impeccable gardens modeled on those at Versailles . The 4,400-square-foot villas have infinity lap pools and louvered hardwood doors that open onto a private patio or balcony. Food and service are excellent—especially at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's DUNE. Enjoy a nightcap at the Library bar, which has the nicest bartender on the island. The newly renovated Hartford Wing includes completely renovated and expanded guest rooms and suites, plus a new beachfront infinity-edge pool, complete with a new bar and grill."
