Bahamian Bliss

A stay on the glorious islands of Turks and Caicos is made even more amazing when you choose this wonderful holiday home. It's based in lovely Leeward, a gated community that surrounds the Ailla Canal, where you can enjoy watersports and wild swimming. This canal runs along the bottom of your garden, so a stay here means you can access this beautiful waterway from your own home. There's even a stand-up paddleboard that you'll have access to during your stay for when you want to adventure down the river.

The home is absolutely breathtaking – the garden is truly something special, being framed by leafy palms that sway lazily in the Bahamian breeze. Here, you can enjoy a dip in the private pool, or lay back and rest on one of the poolside loungers. There's a seating area here too that's perfect for sipping on your morning coffee while you discuss the itinerary for the day.

Inside, you'll find contemporary interiors that feel fresh and bright, inviting you to come and rest out of the sunshine. There's a lush lounge area that's great for an afternoon nap, and a wonderful kitchen for cooking up feasts of conch chowder. You can tuck in around the dining table, which sits in a glass-walled conservatory that lets the outside in, so you can make the most of the gorgeous garden views. Each bedroom has an en-suite, and one even features a kitchenette for an added touch of luxury.
