A restored colonial-style luxury resort from the 1930s, the One&Only Ocean Club is one of the most exclusive resorts in The Bahamas. The 35-acre resort, once the private retreat of A&P heir Huntington Hartford, has hosted an international mix of celebrities, politicians, and royalty over its long history. With its beautifully landscaped Versailles-inspired gardens and shared privileges with neighbor Atlantis, this luxury resort offers 24-hour private butler service, including champagne and strawberries delivered to guests’ rooms every afternoon.

The three-mile stretch of white sand beach bordering the property to the north is considered one of the best beaches in The Bahamas, and there is also a 12th-century French cloister on the property, shipped piece-by-piece from France.

Endless Activities:
A playground for children and adults alike, the resort offers world-class golf, tennis, complimentary non-motorized watersports, a full-service spa and fitness center, a children's club and, of course, plenty of crystal blue water for swimming, diving, snorkeling, sailing, or just admiring. To beat the heat, enjoy a dip in the palm-lined pool, an Evian water misting, or afternoon sorbet.

A Bermudan-style bar, nine tennis courts, and the nearby Ocean Club Golf Course are open to guests. Complimentary shuttles transport guests half a mile west to the Atlantis resort and casino, a partner property, where they can enjoy access to all facilities and charging privileges at the numerous restaurants and lounges.

What's Special About the One&Only Ocean Club:
This posh former private estate has comfortable interiors offering all of the modern amenities. Wireless internet in public areas is complimentary, and so are laptops. This resort was the setting of Casino Royale starring Danial Craig, where James Bond sipped martinis and frolicked with leading lady Eva Green.
