Over Yonder Cay THE BAHAMAS

Championed for its sustainability as well as style and unbridled luxury, this private island retreat harnesses natural power in each of its four elegant villas: South Point, East Cove, West Sands and Meridian House. Accommodating two to 28 guests, the eco-friendly retreat is the epitome of barefoot luxury; here, villas come with their own private stretches of white sand, private Jacuzzis and infinity pools, and outdoor space that embraces their breathtaking surroundings. Days can be spent sailing the trade winds on a 28ft custom-built sloop, diving down to the reef that is rich in marine life, exploring nature trails and the nine-hole golf course. An afternoon can then be whiled away in the tranquil spa before strolling over to the Beach Club for sunset cocktails and sumptuous cuisine that showcases the fresh local seafood with rare vintage wines and champagne. The island’s private marina can accommodate yachts of up to 180ft and guests can also arrive by private seaplane. Exclusive island rental from $52,000 per night.
