Villa Nandana is an exquisite, oceanfront estate boasting five luxurious bedrooms, nestled in the prestigious West End of Grand Bahama Island. Its name, "Nandana," hailing from the ancient Sanskrit language, translates to "Paradise," perfectly encapsulating its serene location on a secluded beach near West End. Designed by a renowned architectural firm, the estate comprises six distinct structures.
The centerpiece is a magnificent main house with soaring 40-foot ceilings, surrounded by five opulent, standalone bedroom suites. Crafted entirely from natural materials, with imported Burmese teak adorning floors, walls, and ceilings, and natural stone gracing other surfaces, Villa Nandana seamlessly marries Eastern and Western aesthetics. It has been meticulously designed for intimate gatherings of family or friends, accommodating up to ten guests in the four sumptuously appointed bedroom suites and a custom safari-style tent. Throughout the property, you'll encounter a curated collection of fine Asian art, including pieces from Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, along with stunning antiquities such as temple reliefs, hand-carved wooden sculptures, and silk treasures, enhancing the natural allure of this oceanfront haven. A professionally designed lighting system accentuates the property's unique architectural features.
The main building hosts the primary social spaces, including living areas, a dining room, a kitchen, a bar, and a glass-enclosed wine room. This exclusive villa compound is fully staffed and designed for gatherings of up to ten family members or friends.
Nandana Private Resort transcends the conventional villa experience, offering guests a selection of luxury resort services, amenities, and activities. These include gourmet cuisine, an on-site masseuse, a 120-foot infinity pool, a Jacuzzi, Jet Skis, ATV rides, an 18-hole golf course, beach volleyball, and more. The property is within a gated community with round-the-clock security patrols, and it features its alarm system. The Villa Nandana compound centers around a dazzling 120-foot infinity pool with a waterfall edge that descends to a private sandy beach. An expansive outdoor Jacuzzi overlooks the beach, and the entire compound is shaded by over 300 imported palm trees and tropical plants. The property faces the ocean with a protected sandy beach in front and has private docking facilities for yachts up to 115 feet in the rear. Sunset cocktails by the pool or a romantic beachfront dinner under a starlit canopy are perfect ways to end your day.
Guests can unwind in the outdoor Jacuzzi with a beach view, or indulge in professional massages at the on-site spa, staffed by an Aman Resort-trained masseuse. Fitness enthusiasts can make use of the well-equipped gym, featuring advanced cardio and weight equipment, as well as indoor and outdoor yoga spaces. The villa also boasts a fully equipped business center with satellite internet, cable internet, and fax services, ensuring seamless worldwide connectivity. Wireless internet is available throughout the property, including in all bedrooms, living areas, and the pool area. The property also houses a gym with state-of-the-art cardio and weight equipment.
On either side of the main building, right on the beach, stand two exceptionally spacious one-bedroom Pavilion suites. Each spans over 1,000 square feet and includes a luxurious bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, indoor/outdoor shower, walk-in closet, writing desk, mini-bar, and a private sundeck with sea views. Just steps away from the beach, amidst lush gardens of swaying palms and tropical foliage, are two one-bedroom Bangala (bungalow) suites. Each Bangala Suite offers over 750 square feet of lavish living space, featuring a bedroom, sitting area, spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower, writing desk, and mini-bar. Along the canal, under swaying palms, rises a 2000-square-foot luxury air-conditioned safari tent with a separate bedroom, bathroom, and living area. The fifth bedroom, known as The Tent, is fully furnished and equipped with the same amenities as the Pavilions and Bangalas. All suites and the tent at Villa Nandana feature remote-controlled flat-screen satellite and cable TVs, iPod docking stations, and stereo systems. They also have state-of-the-art computer-controlled lighting, air conditioning systems, and security systems.
