Tucked away at the northern reach of the Exumas, Highbourne emerges like a carefully kept secret, a private island of just three miles yet unfolding with the complexity of a much larger world. The island’s biodiversity offers a rare convergence of habitats where dry coastal brush, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs coexist in improbable proximity.
The quiet is immediately apparent.
A land purposefully untouched.
Pristine white sand.
Crystal waters shifting through a spectrum of blues that feel almost unreal.
Theater of the wild.
A transformative place to escape and retreat.
A journey into unspoiled nature.
Theater of the wild.
Within this natural abundance, a discreet constellation of residences has been designed, each home placed to frame rather than intrude upon its surroundings. The result is something uniquely valuable: a setting in which to inhabit a different pace of life, one marked by the subtler luxuries of space, privacy, and the privilege of immersion in an unspoiled island.
Spread across the ocean side and set back just off the beach are nine private villas. The homes are cleverly cradled by foliage to offer complete privacy from the outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and open-air showers extend the rooms outward, inviting moments of connection with the landscape.
The living room frames endless views of turquoise sea and sky.
A place where architecture and environment speak the same language.
Natural textures and sculptural furnishings create quiet elegance.
The boundary between indoors and out dissolves.

Owning an estate lot on Highbourne Cay is a rare opportunity to secure a private sanctuary in one of the most pristine and exclusive settings in The Bahamas. With only a limited number of parcels available, each lot offers direct access to untouched natural beauty, turquoise waters, and the island’s understated luxury for those who value seclusion, elegance, and connection to nature.
