The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas
A 1962 hideaway on the north shore of Paradise Island, with a restored 12th-century Augustinian cloister, Versailles-inspired gardens and DUNE by Jean-Georges
The Privata Perspective
The Ocean Club opened in 1962 as a hideaway for celebrities and joined the Four Seasons portfolio in 2017, and that order matters — the gardens and the reputation both predate the brand. The landscaping takes its cue from Versailles and holds a restored 12th-century Augustinian cloister.
One hundred and seven accommodations, and the split is what matters: ninety guest rooms, twelve suites, and five villas and residences. The Hartford Wing holds the garden- and ocean-view rooms at 42 to 44 square metres. The Crescent Wing is where the beach stay is — forty Luxury Oceanfront Rooms at 51 square metres, each looking across lawn, beach and ocean, and ten suites at double that.
We book it for couples who want the Caribbean with a real hotel around them, and for golfers — guests have access to the adjacent Tom Weiskopf-designed Ocean Club course, and Nassau's airport is forty minutes away. Ask for the Crescent Wing if the beach is the point and the Hartford Wing if the gardens are.

Restaurants at The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas
DUNE by Jean-Georges
French-Asian with a Caribbean twist
Jean-Georges Vongerichten's room and the resort's principal restaurant; the cuisine line is the operator's own wording
Ocean Blu
Caribbean
Poolside. The portal lists it as Ocean Blu while the press office still prints the room under its former name, OCEAN, with the same Caribbean billing
Trattoria Versailles
Mediterranean
Poolside, beside the Versailles-inspired gardens. The two operator sources disagree here — the portal names it Trattoria Versailles, the press sheet still prints 'Versailles Terrace, French-Mediterranean' — so confirm the current concept when you book
DUNE Bar
Bahamian cocktails and light fare
The light-fare menu is credited to Jean-Georges on the fact sheet
Martini Bar and Lounge
Cocktails
The resort's cocktail lounge; the fact sheet's own billing is 'sophisticated cocktails'
