Perched above miles of pristine pink and white sands, this secluded retreat offers unmatched privacy and tranquility. Guests will find themselves immersed in the natural beauty of Windermere Island, where hummingbirds flit among sea grape trees and aloes, and the soothing sound of waves creates a serene backdrop. The villa’s history adds to its allure, as it was once chosen by Prince Charles and Lady Diana for their honeymoon, a testament to its romantic charm and exclusivity. With direct access to a two-mile stretch of beach where footprints are rare, this property is ideal for travelers seeking both luxury and solitude. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a group retreat, this villa provides the perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and authentic island living.
The home was designed as a simple yet elegant beach retreat, offering guests a chance to disconnect from the stresses of modern life. Its unfussy style emphasizes relaxation, with airy interiors that open seamlessly to the outdoors. Nestled between lush vegetation and the Atlantic shoreline, the villa provides a harmonious balance of eco-friendly surroundings and breathtaking ocean views.
The living room is a highlight, with expansive glass sliding doors that frame the ocean like a living painting. Balconies and sun porches extend the living space outdoors, allowing guests to enjoy uninterrupted views of the turquoise waters. Few properties in the Bahamas can rival the panoramic vistas offered here.
The open-plan living and dining area is the heart of the home. Italian tiled floors add charm, while sliding glass doors lead to sun porches furnished with loungers overlooking the beach. A rear porch offers a perfect spot for barbecuing fresh seafood, with steps leading directly down to the sand. Ceiling fans and natural breezes keep the home cool, though air conditioning is available in every room.
The villa accommodates up to nine guests across five bedrooms. Two king bedrooms provide spacious comfort, while two twin-bedded rooms can be converted into kings for flexibility. A single bedroom completes the layout. Each bedroom has its own en suite bathroom, and all but the single room enjoy direct views of the beach. The sound of the ocean ensures restful nights.
Guests enjoy access to the nearby Windermere Club, just a five-minute walk away. Membership is included, offering use of tennis courts, a swimming pool, pickleball, a small gym, and a library/TV room. The club’s bar and restaurant operate seasonally, adding convenience to your stay.
Beyond the villa’s beach, a sheltered cove just minutes away by car offers calm, shallow waters perfect for young children. This area between Windermere and Eleuthera provides a safe and scenic alternative to the Atlantic shoreline.
Nearby towns provide additional amenities. Rock Sound, only 15 minutes away, offers the island’s largest grocery store and several restaurants. Governors Harbour, about 25 minutes away, is known for its vibrant dining scene and cultural experiences, including the famous Friday night fish fry.
Guests will find plenty of recreational equipment at the villa, including kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles. After a day of adventure, rinse off in the outdoor shower before relaxing indoors with satellite TV, Wi-Fi, or a yoga session arranged with a local instructor. Housekeeping services are included, and additional staff or chefs can be booked in advance.
Windermere Island remains one of the Bahamas’ most exclusive destinations, favored by those seeking peace and privacy. Eleuthera itself is renowned for its pink-sand beaches, clear waters, and leisurely pace of life. Activities such as bone fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving are popular, while a day trip to Harbour Island offers colonial charm and celebrity appeal.
