A chic Caribbean retreat

Compass Point, the chic and sexy Bahamas retreat in Nassau is joining Chris Blackwell’s Island Outpost collection of chic Caribbean properties and opened its doors in January 2007 following a complete property refurbishment after standing empty for 4 years.

Compass Point will serve as a cool island escape for both A-listers and trend-setters alike; rest, relaxation and privacy thrive at this serene, secluded destination.

Compass Point is a celebration of bold imagination, as reflected in the bright designs of its signature architecture. The property’s 18 huts sit at the water’s edge, each overlooking the turquoise-colored sea. Huts are comprised of two-story cottages and single cabanas glowing with vivid colours. Interior décor is all about comfort, with natural wood floors and white-washed walls with a splash of colour. Amenities include flat screen televisions, CD players & CD libraries, DVD players, wireless Internet and Aveda hair & skincare products.

Compass Point’s re-opening integrates a dramatically redesigned restaurant with expanded seating, where bright colours of yellow and orange perpetuate a feel of sunrise and sunset. Guests can sip on their favourite island concoction while sitting outside the 30-foot Ocean Bar or relax inside in the cozy Alcove Bar.

The beach at Compass Point provides guests with hours of activities from snorkeling to authentic land, sea and eco tours arranged by the property’s staff and a freshwater pool and nearby golf course nearby.

A short drive to Cable Beach and downtown Nassau, Compass Point ensures nightlife and shopping is close at hand, yet still provides an air of privacy and seclusion. The property is only 10 minutes from Nassau International Airport, with regular flights from New York, Miami or Fort Lauderdale and major international cities.
