As we into the second month of the New Year, this Jetsetter is hopeful that the days of the Great Recession are squarely behind us. Frankly, the Great Depression redux has been a bit of a bore, and I yearn for a taste of the Good Old Days when AmEx Black Cards were as au courant as trips to Costco. (Actually, those days were a wee heady for my tastes—let’s just find some economic stability.) Speaking of over-the-top and tip, top, terrific (and we can all dream and pay a visit if only via armchair travel, n’est-ce pas?), let’s take a look at Nandana, an uber-luxe new resort on Grand Bahama Island that will certainly remind us how good the good life can be.
Anchored by an 18,000-square-foot Balinese-styled beach house, Nandana is the perfect escape for a new decade surely to be fixated on discreet decadence. This soaring main house has 40-foot-high ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors opening to an expansive veranda and a 120-foot infinity pool overlooking the sea. Surrounding the main house are five one-bedroom suites including two 1,000-square-foot beachfront pavilions, two garden bungalows and a 2,000-square-foot “safari-style” canopy suite.
Nandana, take me away!
Ah, now doesn’t that feel better… Costco cereal boxes be damned.
