Realise your Bahaman dreams with this beachfront villa on Harbour Island. This island, once the capital of the country, remains a glorious, charming and beautiful place to visit and enjoy. A nine-bed mansion across around 1,000 sq. m complete with pool, gym, cinema and your own piece of white-sand beach is the ideal place to lay your head as you make the most of all this island has to offer.
Built in 2016, La Palmeraie Villa sits on the world-famous Pink Sands Beach and has been built to celebrate the natural splendour of the location and echo the calming vibe of island life with minimalist, stylish interiors.
The heart of the internal space is the large, open-plan living-dining-kitchen area that dominates the ground floor. There are multiple sitting areas and positions for dining tables, as well as wall-length bi-fold doors that can be opened completely to allow the occupants to flow seamlessly out onto the patio around the pool.
And you will want to be outside more than in because those views are impossible to resist. The outdoor space around the villa has designed with consideration, providing areas for sitting and eating, both covered and basking in sun. An impressive outdoor dining area comes complete with an outdoor kitchen for creating mighty meals beside the sea.
The pool is of the heated variety and accompanied by a 10-person Jacuzzi – that means water-based relaxation no matter what the weather is throwing at you. In addition to the outdoor shower and sun deck, there is also a private spa and steam room to complete the experience.
Those with energy to burn will enjoy the air-conditioned home gym suite, while a more cosy way to spend an afternoon would be in the private home cinema which comes equipped with those huge armchairs you will melt into…
There are nine bedrooms across the property, all of which have access to the balcony and a seating area for enjoying yet more eyefuls of the sparkling sea and blue skies.
The bedrooms are spacious and exceedingly chic, and all have their own en-suite bathrooms that provide modern facilities with beautiful fittings; expect a luxurious hotel-level comfort each time you wash.
The villa also has a self-contained two-bed apartment, complete with a living and dining area alongside a kitchen. This is ideal for multi-generational householders who prefer their own space but enjoy gathering to share the pool or evening meals.
Not only is the view to die for, the occupants of the villa can enjoy private access to a strip of beach where loungers and umbrellas provide the beach furniture for long lazy days. There is also a beach-hut for laying on your own refreshments.
The location couldn’t be bettered: Harbour Island is renowned as one of the most beautiful islands in the region and can only be accessed by boat, ferry, or chartered seaplane. This seclusion – and its small size at just 3.5 miles by 1.5 miles – gives those who come a sense of wonder and shared secrecy. It’s understandably become a popular spot for music and movie stars. The charming architecture, history, variety of eateries combines with the childish thrill of traversing the island by golf cart to make this a special place to call home, however briefly.
If you don’t want to sail your yacht directly to the island, access is by flying to North Eleuthera Airport, before taking a taxi to the boat for a five-minute trip across the waves. Alternatively you could arrive by chartered seaplane from Florida or Nassau.
