The Versailles Gardens is a spectacularly lush multi-terraced landscape set in a rectangular design which is about 75 feet wide. It extends approximately a quarter of a mile from the Ocean Club to the southern edge of the island overlooking the waters of Nassau Harbor. Throughout the length of Versailles a stone path covered in Bermuda grass connects the garden's terraces and demarcates Versailles into two mirrored halves. Hand-laid rock ridges extend to the east and to the west of this path. These ridges are composed of reddish tanned flint rock and grey sand stone which over time has acquired a rusty grey facade. These ridges provide the basis on which richly colored purple Bougainvillea stand, evenly trimmed in a box-cut hedge design.
