With oak furnishings and greenery, as well as regal patterns on the sofas and flooring, the living quarters are truly made for those with luxurious taste.

Outside, each property has its very own infinity pool and sunbed area, with trees and bushes surrounding the grounds, offering ultimate privacy.

As the island is close-knit, with the sandy beaches never too far away, it’s perfect for those who are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime getaway with family and friends.

Much of the tropical island is believed to have been left in its natural state, allowing local birds and wildlife to thrive and forms part of the archipelago known as the Exumas.
