The mirrored halves of the Versailles Gardens contain fresh surprises at every turn: hand-laid flint and sandstone walls, tranquil lily and koi ponds, and, beyond the Cloisters, a view of Nassau Harbour. Meanwhile, the Hartford Courtyard \u2013 a striking space at the heart of the Resort \u2013 is named for Huntington Hartford II, who in the early 1960s grew the former private residence into a resort destination.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The property Hartford purchased in 1959, known as Hog Island until he gave it a more suitable name, has transformed over the decades into the Caribbean hideaway it is today.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
