The Retreat

Fodor's Review:

Nearly 200 species of exotic palm trees grace the 11 verdant acres appropriately known as the Retreat, which serves as the headquarters of the Bahamas National Trust. Stroll in blessed silence through the lush grounds, past smiling Buddhas, and under stone arbors overhung with vines. It's a perfect break on a steamy Nassau day.
