Paradise Island, Nassau, THE BAHAMAS
Airing Date: Apr 18th, 2005
Paradise Island is just one of 700 islands located in the beautiful Bahamas. The island is entirely a resort and features many ritzy hotels, the nation's most sophisticated casino, and sunny white beaches that outclass all others in this region of the Bahamas. Paradise Island is exactly as its name suggests.
Ocean Club Resort has been hailed as the number one resort. It's got everything, so it's not surprising that celebrities flock here all year round. Big names on the guest list include Oprah Winfrey, Witney Houston and of course, Emma Bunton. Why do the stars choose this resort over the rest? Following a $100 million restoration and expansion, the resort offers a host of fresh amenities and facilities to complement its legendary service and timeless elegance.
Each of the 106 villas and suites provides new DVD and CD players, satellite TV, internet access, a butler service and housekeeping three times a day. Offering ocean or garden views, all accommodation features beautifully upholstered mahogany furniture and headboards, luxurious Frette linens, and sliding louvered doors that open out to private balconies or terraces. There's also the Dune restaurant, which takes its name from its location at the base of a white sand dune on the beach.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy, including golf, tennis and even swimming with dolphins. Visitors have the chance to play with the dolphins in a man-made lagoon, and even have the unique experience of being pushed along the water by the dolphin's powerful nose.
If you're looking to relax, there are a range of beach-side massages to choose from. Massages are performed on a cushioned bed while you relax and listen to sound of rolling waves.
The facts:
A night at the Ocean Club costs from $1480 per night. A swim with the dolpins costs $240. Massages start from $310 per hour.
