One & Only Ocean Club

Legendary resort, Asian spa, famous-chef's restaurant






35 beachfront acres
This renowned resort is set above an uncrowded beach that stretches for three miles on Paradise Island’s north shore; its 35 lush acres include amazing gardens inspired by Versailles


Discreet and secluded

Tranquility reigns on the beach (where guests are misted with Evian), by the pool (with garden views), in the Asian-influenced spa, and in the gardens, which contain a 12th-century cloister.


24-hour butler service
Despite the resort’s size, there are only 106 rooms. All are opulent, with Frette linens, DVD players, and private terraces. Guests receive 24-hour butler service and daily champagne and strawberries.

What to expect
Originally a private estate, this resort owes its existence to Huntington Hartford II, the legendary 1950s playboy who bought the estate and converted it into a resort for his jet-set crowd. Its glittering 1962 opening drew entertainment luminaries, royalty, and politicians from around the world. Current owners bought the resort in 1994 and spent $100 million renovating and expanding. Celebrities and world travelers still come, only now they seek seclusion rather than attention. Utter tranquility and hushed, discreet service on 35 garden acres awaits them.


Rooms

The resort offers 106 large, air-conditioned guestrooms in two wings. Colored palest pink with white-wood staircases and railings, buildings feature West Indian colonial architecture: multi-plane peaked roofs and broad second-floor verandas overhanging ground-floor porches. Each room includes a spacious balcony or ground-floor terrace closed at both ends for privacy and furnished with two cushioned lounge chairs and a two-chair, white wrought-iron dining set. Special amenities feature 24-hour personal butler service, champagne and strawberries delivered every afternoon, daily fresh-fruit bowl, and thrice-daily maid service.
Extra-thick mattresses, Frette linens, comforters, and four oversize pillows (down, cotton, and foam available) assure sleeping comfort. Each room includes an entertainment center with 32-inch television and a twin-speaker CD/DVD player. (Complimentary use of CDs and DVDs are available in the resort's library.) Bathrobes and slippers, signature toiletries, and fans hanging from high ceilings contribute to vacation ease.


Pale-yellow walls, a seagreen bedspread, crown molding, a two-poster bed with elaborately carved headboard, lacquered furniture, Art Deco chrome lamps, and a cocktail table displaying a single orchid create a stylish, soothing ambience. Minibars are hidden in cabinets with granite tops that hold complimentary bottled Fiji water in silver holders as well as wine, cocktail, and highball glasses. Each room contains an oval dining table with two chairs and an upholstered reading chair. Bathrooms provide recessed lighting, lighted makeup mirrors, scales, and marble vanities.
