You can still arrive by private yacht if you prefer, but guests at the exclusive Nandana Villa on Grand Bahama’s West End can now fly in by seaplane. Operated by Tropic Ocean Airways, regular seaplane service connects the villa with several locations across the Bahamas and South Florida, making access faster and more convenient for guests who want to avoid a longer boat trip.
The villa showcases Asian-inspired architecture with carved temple reliefs, sculptures and silks from the owner’s private art collection, carefully acquired in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Interiors feel refined yet relaxed, with decorative pieces that create a serene, gallery-like atmosphere throughout the property.
Activities and amenities span adventurous to restorative: swim with dolphins, take a sunset cruise, explore quiet beaches on horseback, try shark diving, schedule an on-site massage, relax in the infinity pool, browse an extensive wine collection, sunbathe on a private beach, play golf nearby, pursue deep-sea fishing, or learn to cook Bahamian and international dishes from your private chef. The villa’s staff arranges experiences tailored to your group’s interests and skill levels.
Designed to accommodate up to 12 guests, the property’s layout balances shared spaces with private retreats. The main residence is flanked by two separate one-bedroom pavilion suites that provide privacy and comfort. The landscaped grounds also include two additional one-bedroom bungalow suites, each thoughtfully furnished. For a unique stay, there is a 2,000-square-foot air-conditioned luxury safari tent that includes a bedroom, bath, living area and modern electronics for entertainment and connectivity.
The estate’s outdoor spaces are organized for both social gatherings and quiet moments: covered terraces and open-air lounges overlook the water, while shaded garden paths offer secluded spots to read or meditate. Staff will prepare meals and manage logistics, allowing guests to focus on relaxation and shared experiences.
Practical details make stays effortless. The villa offers housekeepers, a concierge and a private chef who can craft menus to accommodate dietary needs. Transportation options include private yacht mooring, seaplane transfers and local arrangements for car or boat excursions. Guests receive personalized planning for arrival and departure, excursions, and in-house events.
Whether your group seeks active outings or peaceful downtime, Nandana Villa blends thoughtful design, cultural accents and full-service hospitality to create an intimate luxury escape on Grand Bahama’s West End.
