BOND in the BAHAMAS

ounded by notorious supermarket heir Huntington Hartford in 1962, this Bahamian resort has played host to Slim Aarons and his jet-set crew, Europe’s most glamorous princes and princesses, a Beatles music video, and two James Bond movies.” For anyone familiar with the world’s most exclusive beach destinations, there can be little doubt that the author is referring to the famous Ocean Club on Paradise Island. The words come from a beautiful new book with text by James Reginato from French luxury house Assouline, published to coincide with 60th anniversary of the iconic property, which has been part of the blue-chip Four Seasons portfolio since 2017.
