The Albany House-
A Six Star Plantation in the Spirit of Old Nassau
The Albany House has
been described by those who know as “a six-stars retreat"... "a
place of exceptional tranquility and beauty”...
and we can believe it, because the
home has achieved a special status among celebrities.
Not
surprisingly, stars such as Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Mariah
Carey, and several other personalities have treated The
Albany House as their exclusive private Bahamian
hideaway. Far away from prying camera and indiscrete eyes,
they have been thoroughly pampered by a staff experienced
in caring for every need.
Looking
out over a shallow sea which varies in color from transparent
blue to turquoise with its own tranquil and private beach,The
Albany House is an undisputable jewel of the Bahamas.
Located
on New Providence, the capital island of the Bahamas, The
Albany House is the largest and most private residential
estate on the island. The main house is sequestered in
the heart of a beautifully landscaped and walled park of
nineteen acres. The estate is bordered on the south side
by over one thousand feet of long tranquil and exclusive
sand beach.
The
Albany House was crafted fifteen years ago under
the watchful eye of master architect John Darville in the
spirit of the Bahamian Great Houses of the last century.
The house was again recently renovated to exceptionally
high standards of decor and workmanship.
The
estate was conceived as a leisure paradise, and includes
all imaginable sports under the beautiful Bahamas skies,
from tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, cycling to a wide
variety of water sports.
An
absolutely sun-soaked pristine beach beckons from verandahs
off the living room and dining room, offering incredible
ocean views.
Further
along the private estate beach is an award-winning octagonal
beach house with gym, bar, powder room and guest showers.
The
main house and guest cottages are comprised of seven bedrooms
with ensuite baths including separate his-and-her
bathrooms, with exquisite marble walls and floors and exceptionally
fine fixtures.
A
large airy, sunny foyer accesses the sixteen hundred square
foot living room, formal dining room, sitting room and
library all leading to the state-of-the-art home theatre
and music center.
The
Albany House is entirely gated with no neighbouring
visual intrusion and includes extensive interior and
ground lighting, security surveillance and inter-communication
system.
But
perhaps the most inviting feature of this exclusive retreat
is its relaxing ambiance. Indeed, under the light breeze
and soft rhythm of the Bahamian sea, there, pampered by
a team of very qualified staff, time passes differently.
The
professional kitchen and staff quarters are housed in separate
detached buildings affording complete privacy when desired.
Combining the best
of all worlds, The Albany House is definitely
a truly unforgettable world-class experience in luxurious
tropical lifestyle.
