Naming this beautiful sun-kissed spot Paradise Island was...
no mere marketer's trick--the island truly is paradisiacal. But if its superb beaches and weather weren't enough, the Ocean Club is a former private estate that boasts a transplanted 12th-century Augustinian cloister that looks out over Nassau Harbor. Nassau is no longer the glamorous jet set destination that it was back in the 1960s, but the Ocean Club is still pretty swank. The resort offers nearly 100 guest rooms and villas, fine dining, golf and, of course, gambling at the casino in Nassau.
