Over Yonder Cay is a private island in the Bahamas with accommodations for up to 30 guests. Five-star amenities, several tranquil beaches, and breathtaking views make this unique, eco-friendly property perfect for anyone seeking barefoot luxury. There are four villas on Over Yonder Cay, and each is fully air-conditioned and has its own beach. 

Over Yonder Cay is powered by renewable energy from three wind turbines and a 1.5-acre field of solar panels. The deepwater marina is home to the cay’s fleet of sailing yachts, fishing boats, dive boats, ribs and safety vessels. Guests won’t have to lift a finger, since the island is staffed with a dive master, a captain, a water sports instructor, fishing guides, spa therapists, yoga teachers, and seaplane pilots. There’s a Beach Club equipped with a surround sound speaker system, a DJ station, a solid dance floor, and a bar where guests can gather for lunch, sip cocktails by the sea, and party all night. A wildlife trail runs around the island for walking, cycling, and jogging, and there’s a nine-hole par-three golf course that guests have all to themselves. The wind and water sports equipment, floodlit tennis court, volleyball court, gym, game room, and movie theatre round out the island’s amenities.

Meridian House is the island’s main villa, and has whimsical Rococo decor that provides an upscale setting. Lush gardens surround the wraparound infinity pool, hot tub, outdoor dining, and covered terrace. The glamorous conservatory has a Steinway piano and a lounge under a glittering chandelier.
