BLUE PALMS, OLD FORT BAY Nassau and Paradise Island, Bahamas

In the early 1800s, the English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge dreamt up Xanadu as a utopian vision of luxurious serenity — it seems fi tting that, today, Xanadu is also the name that perfectly captures the exclusive gated community in Old Fort Bay in the Bahamas. Perched at the highest point of this prestigious enclave is Blue Palms, a 15,675-sq-ft estate of pure paradise. Stepping through Parisian-inspired double doors, a neoclassical facade gives way to interiors brimming with personality and artistry. Herringbone oak fl oors and blue Azul Cielo marble form a canvas for dramatic touches like a pink onyx bar and hand-painted de Gournay gold-leaf wallpaper — this is opulence, but with a wink. In the great room, dual marble fi replaces, 12-ft co ff ered ceilings and fl oor-to ceiling windows open up to unobstructed ocean views, bringing the outside in. The six spacious bedrooms include two ground- fl oor suites that open to the ocean and feature fl oor-to-ceiling travertine bathrooms. Upstairs, the master suite o ff ers a haven of tranquility with its cashmere-upholstered bed, marble fi replace and panoramic terrace. Two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned, each with en-suite bathrooms and striking design elements that balance comfort with sophistication. Outside, an in fi nity pool spills into the horizon, while a subterranean spa beneath the oceanside gym is the ultimate escape, featuring a steam sauna, cold plunge and full salon. $48m.
