Built in the 12th and 13th centuries by Augustinian monks in France, this lush garden and its incredible stonework have come a long way from home.
In 1969, inspired by the vision of a paradise for the rich and famous, A&P heir, Huntington Hartford bought the stonework with the intention of developing nearby Hog Island - known today as Paradise Island. The garden arrived in pieces - none of them numbered; it took two years and the help of artist and sculptor, Jean Castre-Manne for the oasis to be completed.
Today the garden - known as the Cloisters - stands on Paradise Island, meeting the edge of the Nassau Harbour. A space of tranquillity, the immaculate site is frequented by photographers and often chosen by romantic couples as a wedding photo op venue. The Cloister gardens are located on Paradise Island Drive, just a five-minute walk from Atlantis and Marina Village.
