There’s nothing like it in the whole Caribbean – maybe even in the world. A spectacular villa
complex connecting to the mainland by a remote-controlled bridge, like an elaborate castle
distanced from the world by a clear turquoise moat, Emerald Cay is truly one of the most
luxurious private islands ever constructed. Perhaps surprisingly, this extraordinary property
isn’t found in the glamorous Bahamas or BVI – but in the Turks and Caicos, a languid chain
of isles home to less than 40,000 inhabitants.
The larger Caicos are composed of six large islands that are home to more than 80% of the
country’s population, and a few well-known resorts like Pine Cay, a sprawling 800-acre
private island offering the barefoot luxury of the Meridian Club, and Parrot Cay, a highly
exclusive island hideaway favoured by royalty and Hollywood celebrities. The most
populated island in the Caicos, Providenciales – most often referred to as Provo – is the
bustling tourism hub of the country, offering golf courses, fine dining, and a character that
many say is reminiscent of the Florida Keys.
It’s just metres from Provo across the unique swing bridge that you’ll find Emerald Cay. Six
years of construction resulted in a magnificent estate with approximately 30,000 square feet
of elegantly designed interiors. No luxury was spared in Emerald Cay’s creation – a home
theatre, 3-storey library, 6,000 bottle wine cellar, two adjoining swimming pools with a
waterfall, and tennis and volleyball courts are just some of the luxurious features.
