The Albany House was built in the spirit of the Bahamian Great Houses of
the last century. It is situated in the southwestern quarter of New
Providence – the capital island – and lies to the west of 77 acres of land
with 3000 feet of beautiful and exclusive sand beach. Looking out over a
shallow sea which varies in colour from transparent blue to turquoise,
with its own tranquil and private beach, The Albany House is a jewel of
the Tropics.
Conceived as a leisure paradise, the estate includes all sports
facilities that could be imagined of under the skies of the beautiful
Bahamas, from tennis, gymnasium, volleyball, bicycling to a wide variety
of water-sports.
But perhaps the most inviting feature of this exclusive retreat resides
in its extremely relaxing ambiance. Indeed, bathed by a light breeze and
the soft rhythm of the Bahamian sea, life seems to flow differently here.
Whether lying on a hammock with a good book under a coconut tree, or
sipping a cool drink in the gazebo on the jetty which looks out over the
transparent waters, anyone staying at the Albany House will surely
experience perfect relaxation.
