Stargazer

With the sea stretching in front and the sky stretching overhead, the views seem infinite at Stargazer. Whether you’re sunbathing on the terrace, swimming in the infinity pool, or strolling the lush gardens, this luxurious beachfront villa puts you in touch with the natural beauty of Thompson Cove on the island of Providenciales. With six bedrooms and a fully equipped guest house, it offers privacy, comfort and quiet, too.

Stargazer offers a pampering experience indoors and out. The gated property includes a cutting garden, fruit trees, a grotto and waterfall, a three-zone infinity pool, hot tub and sauna—not to mention beach access. Up your game on the tennis courts; racquets and a ball gatherer are available. If you’re not relaxing or dining on the terrace or grilling outside, enjoy the games room, pool table, home theatre, dance and Pilates studios and Wi-Fi access indoors.

Not only are the villa’s rooms air-conditioned, they have breezy, European-influenced decor. The open-plan living area is covered by a whitewashed cathedral ceiling and has plenty of plump white sofas and wicker chairs, but is grounded by exotic pieces like Persian rugs and Chinese-style chests. Enjoy meals at the two dining tables or the breakfast bar. The state-of-the-art kitchen makes cooking a pleasure with high-end appliances and spacious layout.

There are three bedrooms in the villa’s main house, two in the guest cottage and one in the poolside cottage. In the main house, all three bedrooms have king beds and en-suite bathrooms and two have balconies as well. In the guest cottage, the two bedrooms have a king bed and queen bed, respectively, and share a bathroom. The poolside cottage’s bedroom has a queen bed.

The services of a chef, nighttime server and villa manager are included in your visit. During your stay, the villa’s staff can also arrange spa treatments and adventure activities. Though the views from Thompson Cove are mostly of sea and sky, Stargazer is very close to the heart of Providenciales, just a 5-minute drive from the airport and a 12-minute drive from the golf course.

Seabreeze at Fowl Cay

Calling a private island your temporary home is an experience fit for any beach lover’s bucket list. In the Bahamas Exuma Cays you’ll find Fowl Cay Island, a private spot that takes exclusivity to a whole new level. You can rent the entire island or separate villas, depending on the size of your group. Seabreeze Villa, sitting atop a hill, offers perhaps the best views on the island.

During your stay, you’ll enjoy access to the island’s unparalleled amenities. From a tennis court and bocce court to horseshoes, there’s plenty opportunity for friendly competition. To cool down after a heated game, take a dip in the island’s pool. Whatever your taste for activity may be, rest assured meal time hasn’t been forgotten while you’ve been out exploring—a chef is among the team of staff that will be caring for you during your stay.

Of the six villas on Fowl Cay, Seabreeze and Starlight villa’s are perhaps the most uniquely designed. Perched atop a hill, the space takes advantage of the island’s natural beauty. An open-air courtyard separates the two bedrooms for a living room right beneath the sky. A balcony sits over the pristine shoreline, a great spot to watch the sunset. The villa’s layout is suited best for two sharing couples or families with older children.

The first bedroom is equipped with a king size bed, en-suite bathroom with two showers—one al fresco and one indoors. The second bedroom has two twin beds and an en-suite bathroom as well. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout maintain a breezy temperature for those extra-warm Bahamas days.

While the activities and alluring beaches of Fowl Cay are sure to fill your vacation, if you decide to venture away for the afternoon, Staniel Cay town is an easy 10-minute boat ride away. You can also sail over to the Thunderball Grotto (yes, the one from James Bond) to snorkel in the clear waters. Whether you’re on the market for a relaxation or adventure, prepare yourself for total Bahamas bliss.

The Starlight Villa is perched atop a hill, allowing panoramic views of the surrounding Caribbean sea.

Peek out to the azure sky as you pass through to your private, fully-stocked kitchen. Whicker furniture, warm pastel colors and bright decorative splashes bring the natural colors of the Caribbean inside.

Two bedrooms boast uninterrupted sea views. The first bedroom is outfitted with a king size bed and en-suite bath, and the second has two twin beds. Both rooms are a cozy retreat from a day in the sun—made just that much better with breezy ceiling fans and refreshing air conditioning.
