Activities

At The Ocean Club, the main activity is relaxation: emphasis is on “island time” and taking a break. Unwind on the Resort’s many hammocks strung between the palms, take a float on the beach or in the quiet adult-only Versailles pool, or take a nap to the soothing sounds of the waterfall found at the family Lagoon Pool. Indulge in a spa treatment at the Resort’s Balinese-style spa, featuring eight intimate private spa bungalows with deep soaking tubs and indoor and outdoor space to unwind.

For those seeking a more active day, water sports abound, with kayaking, jet skiing, snorkelling and more all available to be arranged through the Concierge. The Resort’s Fitness Centre offers an indoor gym plus an outdoor “jungle gym,” and regular fitness classes from cardio to Pilates. A tennis program offers ample court time, plus instructors for group or private lessons. Nearby, the 18-hole Tom Weiskopf designed Ocean Club Golf Course presents some of the most gorgeous scenery, along with a challenging layout.

Dining

Guests will love the newly renovated beachside restaurant Ocean Blu, situated next to the gorgeous infinity-edge Ocean Pool. Ocean Blu was redesigned in coastal shades of blue and white, with pops of colour by vibrant tropical florals. Now open Wednesday through Sunday nights for dinner, with live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, Ocean Blu restaurant is also open daily for lunch. Led by Bahamian chefs Kyera Davis and Ingrid Johnson, the menu combines the vibrant flavours of the western Caribbean with the enticing allure of Latin American cuisine. Ocean Blu’s culinarians expertly prepare grilled meats and seafood served with zesty tropical salsas. Some of the favourite options include the seafood platter with spiny lobster, shrimp, conch and more; snapper ceviche; branzino and grouper; blackened New York strip steak with island herb chimichurri, and more.  

The Resort’s signature restaurant, DUNE by Jean-Georges, is situated on a cliff above the ocean, offering views of the glimmering blue water and the colourful sunsets. Enter DUNE via a teak bridge over a koi pond and dine in the gorgeous dining room or al fresco on the covered terrace. The dinner menu reflects favourite dishes from Jean-Georges' global travels, including fresh lobster with truffle butter, tuna tartare and caviar, truffle pizza, chicken samosa, parmesan crusted organic chicken, and conch salad. Sunday brunch is an event not to be missed, with fresh delicacies including oysters, crab and more, and live calypso-style music.

A new offering this summer, guests can reserve a beachside bonfire dinner under the stars. With a carved-out seating area in the sand, covered with luxe blankets and pillows for the ultimate stargazing seat, guests can enjoy a boho-chic atmosphere complete with the sound of gently crashing waves in the background. A catered dinner on one’s own beachside table, set with candlelight and florals, is a dinner experience sure to become a favourite vacation memory.

Additionally, guests will delight in the Resort’s custom gelato cart, parked poolside in the afternoons typically on the grassy lawn between the Ocean Pool and the Spa, or on Ocean Blu’s teak deck. An attendant serves up refreshing scoops of delicious gelato flavours such as guava, coconut, and passionfruit. At the adult-only Versailles Pool, guests can enjoy a variety of refreshing cocktails and a light lunch menu. The signature Martini Bar, featuring the skills of talented mixologist Keith Cash, now offers “Oysters & Martinis” pairings on select nights. Also, martini flights, a trio of three mini martinis, such as the Vesper, Passionfruit Chili, and Espresso martini, are a fun and tasty way to try the bar’s most requested martinis.
