Inside the Whale Tail Villa: A Grand Beachside Estate on the Bahamas’ Norman’s Cay

Michele Vidarte • August 15, 2025

Set within the prestigious enclave of Norman’s Cay in The Bahamas, Whale Tail Villa offers an exclusive opportunity to live just seconds away from the white sand beaches and tranquil turquoise waters of Exuma. Spanning 6,907 square feet across four meticulously crafted structures on three acres, the estate is tucked within a refined resort community developed by Nadim Ashi and Fort Partners , the visionaries behind Four Seasons Surf Club in Surfside, Florida, and numerous Four Seasons properties worldwide. 

Designed by esteemed French architect and interior designer Joseph Dirand , known for his luxury boutiques and renowned hotels, this breathtaking property is the epitome of elevated, beachside grandeur, with expansive sliding doors opening directly to the beach.

The main home’s open-concept design and warm, coastal-inspired tones are enhanced with cascading natural light, neutral color schemes, and tall, gabled ceilings. Effortless, yet refined tropical finishes characterize the living spaces with clean lines, minimalist design, and natural flow, echoing the stunning natural landscape just outside. 

Magnificent oceanside living is continued into the bedrooms, which also provide seamless indoor-outdoor access with walls of glass doors that frame panoramic views.

Spa-like steam showers and standing soaking tubs characterize the serene bathrooms, which are imbued with soft textures and daylong natural light. Woven materials, wicker accents, and a warm, uncluttered design lend themselves to the relaxed, airy nature of this one-of-a-kind residence.

Outside, find a spacious patio, covered with natural wooden slats, providing dappled light and shadows throughout. Purposefully integrated nature plays a crucial role here, with lush native plants intentionally left wild, giving the outdoor spaces an organic feel with modern, clean edges. 

In addition to the main structure, the property offers a grand living pavilion, a primary suite connected via an outdoor dining area, two charming two-bedroom cottages, and a well-appointed laundry/storage room, all centered around 250 feet of pristine beachfront with breathtaking ocean views. Norman’s Cay itself boasts its own airport and customs facilities for direct US flights, as well as a marina and yacht club.

This extraordinary property is represented by The Agency’s Founder and CEO, Mauricio Umansky , and Managing Partner of The Agency Bahamas, Danny Lowe. To find more information about the Whale Tail Villa or to schedule a showing, visit the listing here.
