Accommodation
A private estate edged by miles of soft, duned beach, the celebrated One&Only Ocean Club languishes in tropical splendour. Dark woods and rich fabrics set the tone for the air-conditioned rooms and suites, with ocean or garden views from the spacious patios and balconies. Three villas enjoy an enviable beachfront location and the services of a dedicated butler who is quietly on-hand to attend to your every wish 24 hours a day. Balinese-style treatment villas, each with a pavilion and open-air garden, lend an oriental twist to the relaxed surroundings of the prestigious One&Only Spa. Great emphasis is placed upon dining, whether you prefer breakfast served on your terrace, a light lunch at the Pool Terrace Café or an intimate dinner at Dune by world renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The clear Bahamian waters are famed for their diving, snorkelling and windsurfing – luxury yachts may be chartered for day sails to private outer islands, or hire a seaplane for an airborne safari. Two swimming pools, fitness and tennis facilities, 18-hole Tom Weiskopf championship golf course and a complimentary KidsOnly Club are also available.
Upping the ante in the style stakes further, the original Hartford Wing has had a top-to-toe re-design; the rooms and suites have all been expanded and decked out in natural wood, cool marble and splashes of varying shades of blues. The new bathrooms are incredibly sumptuous and roomy terraces and balconies have been added to make the most of the ocean views. There's also a brand new infinity-edged beachfront pool, flanked by an excellent bar and grill. The Ocean Pool Grill, helmed by Executive Chef Gal Kozer, dishes up family-style sharing platters of delicious seafood and local specialities such as spiny lobster. The beachside barman can knock you up a mean cocktail, meaning all you need to do is fly, flop and feast.
Walk in the footsteps of James Bond at this celebrated, Versailles-inspired hotel languishing in the tropical splendour of Paradise Island. Several scenes in Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig, were filmed in the hotel's lush interiors and amongst the elegant grounds. James Bond aficionados fight for the chance to stay in the same magnificent ocean view villa as Bond - Villa 1085, with its large private deck overlooking the aqua-green Bahamian waters - an authentic, untouched setting just as it is portrayed in the film.
The Bahamas enjoy a warm, subtropical climate that varies little year round – the most refreshing time to visit is from November to May, with average temperatures of 26°C, though evenings may feel fresher due to the cooling trade winds. The summer months are hotter and humid, with the possibility of tropical showers.
