Are you enticed by the idea of having a private island all to yourself, complete with a personal chef, staff, and a secluded sandbar? Or maybe having your very own spa, fitness center, pool, and beach just steps away from your villa sounds like the ultimate vacation dream? If so, Royal Island in the Bahamas is the ideal destination for you. Managed by Cuvée, this island paradise offers an exclusive retreat in the sunny Bahamas.
Spanning over 400 acres, the single dock serves as your gateway to this exclusive getaway. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with refreshing coconut drinks (with or without rum, but highly recommended with rum), and their luggage is swiftly taken to their villa while the pristine waters gently kiss the shore of a private white sand beach lined with swaying palm trees. The friendly staff are always on hand to assist guests, and the inviting pool deck just a few steps away beckons visitors to bask in the sun.
Royal Island is home to five luxurious villas that can accommodate 10-14 guests comfortably. The island operates on a one-key policy, ensuring that you have the island all to yourself without having to share it with anyone else. In addition to the five villas, there is also a bunk room and a spa suite available, perfect for children, nannies, private pilots, or additional guests. The villas themselves boast king-sized beds with stunning views of the sea, direct access to the beach (complete with foot-washing showers to keep unwanted sand at bay), and spacious wrap-around porches. The oversized master bathrooms feature deep-hued rich woods, vaulted ceilings adding to the airy feel of the villas. Guests can also find complimentary snacks and wine in the well-stocked bar area behind the headboard, perfect for those who never want to leave their villa.
At the heart of the property lies the Beach Club, featuring a bar, dining area, and a patio for guests to enjoy. Adjacent to the club is the pool deck and the Fitness Center, complete with a spa and lounge area. Guests can partake in a variety of island activities such as jet skiing, snorkeling trips on the island’s boat, exploring the sandbar, practicing yoga by the pool or beach, or simply relaxing in a hammock all day—it’s entirely up to them.
Dining on the island is overseen by a Cuvée Chef who creates delectable dishes using local ingredients and fresh catches of the day, offering guests an authentic culinary experience. Whether sipping a cup of coffee while strolling along the dock at sunrise or indulging in a candlelit dinner at sunset with fellow guests, the food enhances every aspect of the stay at Royal Island.
Cuvée tailors experiences to each guest’s preferences; whether seeking adventure with a jet ski trip to feed apples to the friendly pigs at the swimming pig beach, relaxation with a spa massage and freshly-pressed juice followed by a guided meditation on the beach, or lively entertainment with the best band in the Bahamas for a one-of-a-kind event, there is something for everyone. From a beachside firepit to brunch on a sandbar surrounded by seabirds, Royal Island offers an array of unforgettable experiences.
