About the Work

Embark on a captivating journey as you explore The Ocean Club, one of the world's most renowned and iconic hotels. Immerse yourself in the pages of this definitive tome, which delves into the rich history of the Bahamian property founded by the enigmatic supermarket heir, Huntington Hartford, in 1962. With its sixtieth anniversary celebration, this resort, favored by Slim Aarons and the jet-set elite, continues to set the bar for extraordinary tropical luxury and star-studded experiences.

Enchanting readers with its twelfth-century Franciscan monastery, brought over from France, and majestic terraced gardens reminiscent of Versailles, the hotel made its grand entrance with the legendary Bal du Paradis. This lavish gala, covered extensively worldwide, welcomed esteemed guests such as Zsa Zsa Gabor, five United States senators, and Europe's most glamorous prince and princesses. Throughout the years, the Ocean Club has maintained its legacy by hosting the likes of the Beatles, witnessing a career-making performance by Whitney Houston, witnessing Cindy Crawford's wedding to Casamigos creator Rande Gerber, and becoming the memorable backdrop for two iconic Bond movies: 1965's Thunderball starring Sean Connery and 2006's Casino Royale.

In 2017, the Ocean Club proudly joined the esteemed Four Seasons Resort family, further enhancing its reputation as the Caribbean's most exclusive and luxurious destination. Today, guests can indulge in delectable cuisine at chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's ocean-side restaurant, luxuriate in three pools and an award-winning spa, partake in world-class golf and tennis facilities, and relish the Ocean Club's greatest treasure: its longstanding team of dedicated employees, some of whom have been serving since the very beginning. "It's thirty-five acres for 107 room keys. That will never happen again, especially in such a breathtaking location," remarks the resort's general manager, John Conway. Undoubtedly, for six decades, the Ocean Club has offered its guests a truly exceptional experience—a slice of paradise to call their own.
