Once a private estate, One & Only Ocean Club rests between miles of pristine beach and exquisite gardens inspired by the romantic grandeur of Versailles. Fragrant blossoms of hibiscus and bougainvillea, along with hand-laid rock ridges and stone steps, ascend the terraced garden decorated with bronze and marble statues from Europe. Within this oasis, exemplary personal service defines the heart of One & Only Ocean Club.

Location
185 miles southeast of Miami on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. One & Only Ocean Club sits on the beautiful eastern end of the island, just across from the busy harbour of Nassau, the country's capital. Ocean Club is a short ride from Nassau International Airport.
Accommodation
There are two wings - the Hartford Wing and the Crescent Wing. With its classic Colonial architecture, the two-storey Hartford Wing offers guestrooms and suites with lovely views of the ocean or gardens. This wing features 50 rooms (340 sq. ft), 4 suites (830 sq. ft.) and 5 two-bedroom garden cottages located in the gardens, just beyond the pool. The Hartford Wing was completely refurbished in late 2001. The new Crescent Wing offers luxury guestrooms and suites, all with commanding views of beach and ocean from a private balcony or terrace. This wing features 40 beachfront rooms (550 sq. ft.) and 10 beachfront suites (1,100 sq. ft.).
Dining & Restaurants
At One & Only Ocean Club, your choices for stellar dining are exceptional. Whether you prefer a casual breakfast served on your terrace, a light lunch poolside, or an intimate dinner for two beneath a canopy of stars, there is something to satisfy every appetite. A gourmet in-room dining menu is also available 24 hours a day.
Activities
The grounds at One & Only Ocean Club invite guests to stroll through the gardens or lounge in a hammock. Or for the more active, you can enjoy complimentary Aquacat and Hobie Cat sailing, snorkelling, aqua bikes, paddleboats, kayaking and bicycling. Scuba lessons and diving excursions can be arranged through the concierge.
Best time to travel
The Bahamas is a year-round destination. Incessant trade breezes ensure pleasant temperatures, though best of all is November to June. In summer, the rainy season extends from June to November, temperatures go up to 32° C, and hurricanes are a slim possibility.
Getting there
The Bahamas are well served by planes from North America. The proximity to Florida means regular, relatively inexpensive flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, as well as other East Coast gateways like New York and Boston.
