Land Sports
The grounds at One&Only Ocean Club invite leisurely strolls through manicured tropical gardens, or blissfully relaxing siestas in a hammock swaying beneath grand palms. Here, guests discover an entertaining variety of activities at the resort as well as complimentary access to the extensive facilities at nearby Atlantis. Complimentary bicycles are also available for touring Paradise Island.
Water sports
At the heart of One&Only Ocean Club is the allure of water. Miles of pristine white sand beach are described as some of the most beautiful in the world. Take a swim in the languid Versailles Pool, for adults ages 14 and older. Poolside concierge service includes misting, music selections, lemonade and sorbet service, newspapers and magazines. The Family Pool is designed for younger guests complete with waterfall and aqua toys.
With varying hues of blue – from the shallow turquoise of bays and lagoons to the deep indigo of the ocean – water is the essence of Bahamian life. Guests enjoy complimentary limited non-motorised water sports such as Hobiecat sailing and kayaking. Fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling and luxury yacht charters to private islands can be arranged through the Concierge at current activity pricing.
fishing charters
Guests preferring soft adventure and exclusivity might consider a private yacht charter exploring the incredible reefs and private islands only moments from Paradise Island, or the secluded islets and hidden coves of the Out Islands farther beyond. The resort is happy to arrange half-, full-day, and overnight luxury yacht and sailing charters, as well as fishing excursions in search of blue marlin, wahoo, grouper, amberjack and more.
The Out Islands
Just beyond the glamorous shores of Paradise Island with all of its shopping, dining and thriving nightlife, lies what the locals call the ‘real’ Bahamas—the Out Islands. With beguiling names like Eleuthra, Andros, the Exumas and the Abacos, even the most laid-back traveller is moved to venture out on a journey of discovery. And doing so can be done with a flair for luxury and style.
For a truly extravagant escape, consider a seaplane adventure to an uninhabited island. Absolute privacy, complete discretion, perhaps a bottle or two of Veuve Clicquot, a gourmet picnic, and a beach without another soul.
