… from the busy harbour of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.
The Bahamas is a country of 700 different islands and cays, stretching southeast off the Florida coast. And if you've been thinking about an island vacation, you won't find more islands, or more interesting islands, than right here in the country of 700 islands and cays. The islands differ physically: pine f orests, white sandy beaches, limestone caves, lush plantations, bonefishing flats and the world's third largest barrier reef. And because each of the islands retains its individu al character, each has something unique and unexpected to contribute to your island vacation. Islands where everything swings from casino to golf course. Islands for the count ry-club set, where tennis overlooks mile-long beaches. Islands bustling with colonial charm. Islands for frogman and islands for fisherman. Even the islands have islands- a Sunfish sail from nearly any beach can become a voyage of discovery.
Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, located on New Providence Island offers a variety of experiences from non-stop excitement to peaceful relaxation.

Once a private estate, the One and 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. At its apex stands the dramatic arches of a 12th-century Augustinian cloister that boasts a spectacular view of the sunset over Nassau Harbour. Within this secluded oasis, exemplary personal service defines the heart of One&Only Ocean Club. The oceanside property was bought in 1962 by Huntington Hartford II, who built the original 52-room resort, restaurant and golf course, and named it Ocean Club. The addition of the Crescent Wing and Dune restaurant, and the redevelopment of the Ocean Club Golf Course was completed in 2000. A full service Spa opened in December, 2001.
