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, gymnastics, 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.
