Two Bahamas Luxury Resorts You Will Love

Paradise Island, Bahamas

I watched from the airplane window as the ocean transformed from a deep grayish-blue to a vivid turquoise. This was my introduction to Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Serenity And Beauty At The Cove

What a treat it was to spend time at two incredible Bahamas luxury resorts. First, The Cove. What I found most appealing is that you are in Atlantis, but tucked quietly in your own serene space. It is a beautiful property, with the friendliest staff. I would recommend this more for adults — there is a private, adult-only pool on the property, Cain.

The Reef: Views, And Excellent For Families

Families are well suited here too, but The Reef next door seems more fitting, with its condo-style accommodations. I had the opportunity to do a site inspection of The Reef as well. It has arguably one of the best views of the Caribbean in its deluxe suite and penthouse. Director of Sales Amy Mencl was my host, and she is just lovely.

The Ocean Club Is A Private Oasis

Finally, I stayed at the One&Only Ocean Club. This property is not part of Atlantis, and sits on the other end of Paradise Island. You feel as though you are in your own private oasis. The grounds are a mature, lush tropical paradise.

General Manager John Conway greeted me on the front porch as my driver dropped me off. He is one of the kindest people in the business. I enjoyed getting to know him over lunch at Dune, a Jean-Georges restaurant on the property.

I had the most exquisite spa experience, complete with a Balinese-style treatment villa: teak massage tables, a waterfall shower, and a day bed and jetted tub in a private open-air garden. Prince and Cornesha were my butlers, and they could not have been more amazing. The entire staff at One&Only Ocean Club works with excellence. This is the property for adults and couples wanting the most upscale experience in the Bahamas. They do have a kids club, which is a gift for families traveling to Paradise Island.
