The Compass Point Beach Resort in Nassau.

Compass Point Beach Resort: This west end resort needs no introduction to music fans, who know Compass Point as the residential style recording studio founded by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. Jimmy Cliff, Robert Palmer, Grace Jones, AC/DC, and the Tom Tom Club were among the artists who lived and recorded here during the studio’s heyday in the 1970s and 1980s. The studio shut down in 2010, but the multicolored “huts” of the resort remained open — some beachfront, others elevated like treehouses. Indoor and outdoor dining, a beach bar, pool, and a thatch-covered pier with inviting lounge chair round out the modest list of amenities.
