Bahamas vacation villas are the way to go if you are going all out for your vacation. Taking their places as some of the most exclusive private homes in the world, some villas sport up to six bedrooms on a fully-staffed estate. Many of the more upscale homes have been designed to evoke the style of Bahamian Great Houses from the colonial period, and f that first time visitors will not easily forget their striking architecture.
Some of these gorgeous homes start out around $425 per night, such as the Island Breeze home on the Grand Bahama island, which features three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a private pool. For anyone looking to spend more than four digits per night, there are villas such as the Tilloo Pond in Abaco. This five bedroom, five bathroom beachfront home has spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.
It is also very private, sitting on 11 acres of Tilloo Cay, a private island. Further, the villa has three small private beaches, and a larger beach can be found less than 10 minutes away.
As the price continues to go up, so do the features. At more than $10,000 per night, the Albany House in New Providence offers seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a private pool, and a prime beachfront location. Built in the spirit of the Great Houses, the estate includes tons of sporting activities, including tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, bicycling, and a wide variety of water sports. The main house features a plantation-style reception room that opens on to an inner courtyard garden, a 1500-square-foot living room, a dining room for 14, and a 2800-square-foot master bedroom.
While Bahamas vacations villas are exclusively for those travelers willing to pay a little extra, these beautiful pieces of architecture do come in a range of prices..
