Stretching from the One & Only Ocean Club to near Nassau Harbor, the 0.25-mile-long gardens (built by Huntington Hartford II and modeled after the French original in Versailles) consist of seven terraces graced by Carrera-marble and bronze statues, including two of Empress Josephine reclining at the gardens’ entrance; a 12th century Greek statue of Hercules; and two giant bronze statutes of Hartford heroes Franklin D. Roosevelt and explorer David Livingston. The gardens’ apex features a 12th century Augustinian cloister from France that Hartford purchased from William Randolph Hearst.

Located on the lip of a low bluff between sloping lawns and the beach, a weathered-wood deck pierced by a single palm tree supplies a panoramic ocean view for twice-daily yoga classes. Snuggled again a seagrape hedge nearby, a tent-cabana offers the same view for open-air massage. Hammocks stretch between palm trees throughout the resort’s 35 acres.
