Homes for Sale Ocean Club Estates Bahamas
122 estate lots on Paradise Island's eastern tip — beachfront, harbourfront, and golf-course homes with Four Seasons resort access, a private marina, and the Tom Weiskopf championship golf course.
Ocean Club Estates — Paradise Island's Premier Gated Community
Ocean Club Estates occupies the eastern tip of Paradise Island, adjacent to The Narrows, in what is widely regarded as the most exclusive residential address in the Bahamas. The community consists of just 122 single-family home sites — all of which sold within days when first released — surrounding a Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole championship golf course, with direct access to private beaches, a 52-slip marina, and the full amenity networks of both the Four Seasons Ocean Club Resort and the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort.
Unlike any other gated community in the Bahamas, Ocean Club Estates combines private residential estate living with two of the Caribbean's premier resort brands. Homeowners enjoy golf memberships, a private Beach Club with infinity pool and restaurant, tennis courts, spa access, fine dining, and the entire Atlantis entertainment complex — including the 141-acre Aquaventure water park, the 8-million-gallon marine habitat, casino, and more than 40 restaurants.

Tom Weiskopf Championship Golf Course
The Ocean Club Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout stretching 7,159 yards with a course rating of 76.1 and slope of 140. Originally designed by Dick Wilson, it was completely redesigned by Tom Weiskopf in 2000 to incorporate seaside greens, alternating fairways, water hazards from wetlands and lagoons, and strategic bunkering with elevated greens. The course has hosted the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational and the Office Depot Father/Son Celebrity Classic, as well as LPGA and NCAA events. Membership is exclusive to Ocean Club Estates and Ocean Club Residences owners.
Private Beach Club
Reserved exclusively for Ocean Club Estates and Ocean Club Residences owners, the Beach Club features colonial-style cabanas with changing rooms and showers, an open-air restaurant, an infinity swimming pool, tennis courts, a children's playground, and direct access to one of Paradise Island's finest stretches of white sand beach.
52-Slip Marina
The private marina accommodates vessels up to 120 feet and provides direct access to Nassau Harbour. Rose Island is just 3 nautical miles away — ideal for day trips — while the Exuma Cays are approximately 30 nautical miles out. The nearby Hurricane Hole Super Yacht Marina on Paradise Island accommodates larger vessels and is adding a gourmet food store and expanded amenities.

Atlantis Paradise Island Resort Access
Full access to Atlantis includes Aquaventure (141-acre water park), the 8-million-gallon marine habitat with over 250 species, casino, more than 40 restaurants, a Mandara Spa, fitness centres, pools, waterslides, and world-class entertainment.

Ocean Club Estates is the only community with dual resort affiliation (Four Seasons + Atlantis). Lyford Cay (est. 1959) is the most established and has the largest inventory. Albany (est. 2010) offers a larger marina and Ernie Els golf course with a younger demographic. Old Fort Bay is smaller and more intimate with Georgian architecture. Ocean Club offers the strongest amenity package and closest airport proximity (20 min vs 25–40 min for others).
Is there a marina for boat owners at Ocean Club Estates?
Yes. The private 52-slip marina accommodates vessels up to 120 feet, with direct Nassau Harbour access. Rose Island is 3 nautical miles away; the Exuma Cays are ~30 nautical miles. Many harbourfront and canal estate homes also have private docks. The nearby Hurricane Hole Super Yacht Marina handles larger vessels.
What insurance costs should I expect?
For a CBS estate home valued at $5M, expect $50,000–$100,000/year in comprehensive coverage (windstorm, structure, contents, liability). Beachfront properties carry higher premiums.
