Property Overview
“Nandana” (which means Paradise in the ancient tongue of Sanskrit) is a large luxury estate on a secluded beach near West End, Grand Bahama. Our luxurious and exceedingly private villa compound is a fully staffed island home specifically created for intimate gatherings of up to twelve family members or friends.
Nandana goes beyond the traditional villa vacation by providing guests with a wide range of luxury resort services, amenities, and activities. These include gourmet cuisine, on-site masseuse and full spa services, 120′ infinity pool, Jacuzzi, Jet Skis, ATVs, nearby golf course, beach volleyball, and more.
Designed by a renowned architectural firm in an Asian beach house style, the property is comprised of six separate buildings. A spectacular main house with soaring 40′ ceilings is surrounded by five richly-appointed and free-standing bedroom suites. The interior of the property has been constructed entirely of natural materials, with massive amounts of imported Burmese teak covering the floors, walls, and ceilings and natural stone forming most other surfaces. A professionally designed lighting system has been installed to emphasize the property’s many distinctive architectural features.
The Grounds
The buildings are centered around a glittering 120′ long infinity pool with a waterfall edge dropping to a private sandy beach below. A separate large outdoor Jacuzzi is located overlooking the beach, and the entire compound is shaded by over 300 imported palm trees and tropical plants. The property is bounded in the front by the ocean with a protected sandy beach and in the rear by a deep water canal with private docking facilities for yachts up to 115′ in length.
