About One&Only Ocean Club

One&Only Ocean Club, once Shangri-La, the exclusive private estate of Huntington Hartford, has emerged at the turn of the 21st century, after a $100 million renaissance, as one of the most elegant luxury resorts in the Americas. Intimate in size, placing the highest priority of pampering personalized attentiveness, the resort offers 106 luxurious accommodations including beachfront and garden-view rooms, suites, cottages and three private villas in a gracious colonial Bahamian style, with round-the-clock butler service and luxurious touches such as champagne and strawberries in the afternoon and icy sorbet served on the beach.

The One&Only Ocean Club's signature restaurant, Dune, is the creation of uber-chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who has virtually redefined fine dining in the tropics. The sumptuous One&Only Spa features a fusion of ancient Asian holistic philosophies with uniquely Bahamian hospitality and serene, lush surroundings with private spa villas for one or two, while the championship 18-hole Ocean Club Golf Course designed by Tom Weiskopf, a tennis club, a freshwater pool overlooking the resort's renowned Versailles-inspired gardens, and an extensive menu of water sports offer other recreational options.
