A stunning private island and David Copperfield’s personal retreat, where luxury and excellence is redefined

Considered as one of the most secluded and exclusive spots on earth, Musha Cay & the Islands of Copperfield Bay are private islands hidden amongst the out-islands of The Exumas in the Caribbean Sea.

With over 700 acres of lush natural beauty that seem like a slice of heaven, the islands are completely unspoiled and are nestled in a tropical environment, with 40 private beaches on 11 different private islands. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, a pristine coral reef, swaying palm trees on white sandy beaches, and all of life’s greatest pleasures are right at guests’ fingertips.

Discerning guests can enjoy countless experiences both on land and water. The mesmerising Caribbean waters call for adventure. From a snorkelling tour or a dive to explore the coral reefs, to a trip with a jet ski to ride the waves or a sailing trip with the catamaran, to a private picnic on one of the fabulous private beaches, there is something for everyone.

The activities continue on land; Musha Cay offers a floodlit championship tennis court, a stunning state-of-the-art outdoor theatre with a two-storey silver screen and a beachfront view, alongside an air-conditioned gym.

The idyllic tropical beach scenery will draw guests to relax on the beachside day bed, or revitalise themselves in the steam room after a soothing massage.

Across the islands there are five individual villas offering 12 suites and bedrooms to sleep up to 24 guests. Each villa is designed in a charming tropical style to harmoniously blend into the natural landscape. The interiors’ exotic designs are filled with colour and David Copperfield’s collections from his worldwide adventures are dotted throughout the houses enhancing their unique charm. Providing the ultimate exclusivity, each house enjoys its own private beach, and is surrounded by a mahogany wrap-around deck.

Musha Cay & the Islands of Copperfield Bay provide the perfect retreat in which to be pampered in a private haven. Whether this is a well-deserved deluxe holiday or a special anniversary or celebration, this exclusive island guarantees the highest level of luxury and excellence.
