Young Villa

With its clean lines reflecting on still water, palms rustling in the trade winds, and a rhythm that makes every hour feel leisurely, Young Villa emerges like a contemporary poem along the serene Leeward Canal.

The island’s silence greets you as soon as you enter. Mornings start with espresso and evenings end with lantern light in this peaceful central courtyard, which unites the house into a private haven with a sparkling pool surrounded by cozy lounge chairs. The Club Room, a stylish gathering place for pre-dinner cocktails, after-beach chats, and nightcaps when the stars come early and stay late, is adjacent to this haven.

The vast expanse of the interiors opens up to the sky and water beyond. The canal is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass in the Great Room, making the scene the villa’s artwork. Sunlight filters through the infinity-edge pool and into the room, while boats glide by in slow motion and mangroves change with the wind.

Young Villa’s central area is a single, bright room that is perfect for intimate reading, social dinners, and joyous toasts. The sophisticated finishes and organic textures create a calm, easy atmosphere. With seven bedrooms that provide ample privacy for a large family or group of friends, and common areas that bring everyone together without ever feeling crowded, the house feels both spacious and cozy.

The design is as refined as the culinary life here. The flow is anchored by two kitchens: a private chef kitchen where your personal chef can work behind the scenes, and a front-of-house show kitchen that welcomes grazing breakfasts and an evening of tasting plates. Meals are delivered to the dining table or terrace with ease, and your house butler handles the details so that the only thing left to decide is whether to eat upstairs under a constellation-filled sky or under the pergola by the pool. Service is an integral part of the architecture.

The roof-terrace lounge turns into the villa’s peaceful crescendo as the day turns to evening. The Leeward waterway appears in a 360-degree panorama from this angle; the canal is painted copper and rose by sunset, and stargazing becomes a friendly competition to identify the constellations first.

When the water calls, kayaks and paddleboards slip from the edge to explore the canals and mangrove corridors where herons stake out their posts along the roots and baby sharks and turtles ghost through the shallows. If you want movement, a fully-equipped gym keeps routines on track. The pool’s surface will reflect the palms, the terrace lights will cast a gentle halo across the stone, and there will be a quiet that only water neighborhoods can experience when you return for a late swim.

The balance between contemporary lines softened by island living, a sense of privacy that never feels remote, and professional service that lurks in the background but emerges when you ask is what makes Young Villa so elegant. The bathrooms are spa-like with glass and stone, the bedrooms are quiet and tastefully furnished, and the climate control and Wi-Fi are accurate without disturbing the ambience.

In order to maintain a cool, feather-light calm, the Great Room’s glazing opens to allow the canal breeze to do its work and then whispers shut. Young Villa provides a stage that enhances any scene, whether you’re organizing a milestone celebration, an imaginative off-site, or the kind of multigenerational vacation that becomes family legend.

Activities nearby: reserve a half-day captained skiff from the Leeward docks for sandbar swimming and shelling; paddle to Mangrove Cay and Little Water Cay to see turtles and rock iguanas; spend some time in Grace Bay shopping at boutiques and taking a sunset sail before heading back to your canal-side haven.
