Over Yonder Cay is a privately owned island paradise in the heart of the Bahamas’ Exuma Chain. Previously home to a quaint fishing outpost, the 72-acre island has been tastefully transformed into a dramatic showplace for stunning architectural design and cutting-edge green energy technology.

Location
Even though Over Yonder Cay feels like it’s located in one of the most remote corners of the world, it is actually just 200 miles from Florida – in the heart of the Bahamas’ popular Exuma chain.

The island has 4 villas, spread out in spectacular locations around the property, all within a minutes golf cart ride away from each other. Each villa is uniquely appointed and designed to an amazing level of comfort.

The villas are installed with satellite TV, a Kaleidescape entertainment library and Crestron control system, as well as wi-fi internet and iPads. A 12-seat movie theatre is located in Meridian House, whereas all other residences have a 70-inch TV. Suites feature a 40-inch TV and en-suite bathroom; double rooms share a bathroom.

The island has a unique, cutting-edge hybrid energy system and it is almost entirely powered but wind and solar energy harnessed by three wind turbines and a 1.5-acre solar field. In 2012, 96 per cent of the island’s energy came from renewable sources, and a suite of back-up generators provide power to the island if necessary.

Dining
Each trip is individually curated to suit the individual desires of the guests.

Over Yonder Cay’s accomplished culinary team are able to cater for even the most refined of palates. Meal plans are planned well in advance of arrival and tailored to suit and surpass guests’ personal preferences and expectations. The island’s extensive choice of wines furthermore ensures that your fine dining experience always has the perfect accompaniment.

Guests also have the say in where they would prefer to dine. From feet-in-the-sand meals beneath the stars to more formal occasions in the grander setting of the main villa, the Over Yonder Cay team is on hand to satisfy your every need and desire – whatever the time and whatever the request.
