Nandana Residence – The Grand Bahamas
The client wanted a private resort inspired by the dramatic elegance of the Amanpuri resort in Phuket, Thailand, and named the project Nandana, a Sanskrit word meaning “paradise”.

Within Old Bahama Bay Resort in the Grand Bahamas stands a striking Thai-style mansion, Nandana. This private oceanfront estate combines residential living with the amenities and services of luxury resort lifestyles.
Organized around a 120-foot long architectural pool, the main gathering area and five-bedroom suites have a village-like presence in both scale and structure. Two 1,000-square-foot master suites anchor the compound at each end.
Architectural detailing offers a continuation of Thai-style design from exterior to interior, contributing to the desired exotic atmosphere. The property looks over the ocean and a protected sandy beach, and to the rear of the property is a deep-water canal with private docking for yachts.
