Explore the jaw-dropping 14th-century French stone cloister transported stone-by-stone to Paradise Island, set within terraced Versailles-style gardens overlooking Nassau Harbour. A genuinely otherworldly landmark hidden in plain sight.
What to expect
A private car collects you at the pier and delivers you to Paradise Island's most opulent address in under 15 minutes. Your guide narrates the astonishing story of Huntington Hartford II, who purchased a 14th-century French Augustinian cloister and shipped it to the Bahamas block by block. You stroll through seven terraced garden levels adorned with fountains, sculptures, and tropical blooms. The view over Nassau Harbour from the top terrace is among the finest in the Caribbean.
