The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas

On the aptly named Paradise Island north-east of Nassau, this luxury Bahamas resort sits on a white sandy beach looking out over the bluest of seas. With a dedicated family pool, it's a fabulous place for spending quality family time together and for parents and kids to try new activities and experiences, as well as allowing each member of the family their own space to relax or socialise.

Kids are well catered for, with babysitting plus organised activities in the clubhouse for ages four years through to teens. Meanwhile, adults can relax in the lavish spa, do a spot of alfresco yoga with a personal tutor, play a round of golf or even head out on the water for a spot of deep-sea fishing. If that's too energetic, charter the hotel yacht and spend a couple of hours or even a night out at sea in pure luxury.  

The variety of rooms, suites and villas, all with a luxurious take on traditional Bahamian decor, make The Ocean Club ideal for larger families or for holidays with grandparents. Some offer fabulous views from private balconies or a terrace. If you want an extra-special break, there are also villas with a private pool and butler service.
