Poponi Villa is an elegant and authentic Bahamian beach estate built in the early 1940's by a British Admiral. The villa is over 2100 sq. feet and located on a four acre beachfront property with 430 feet of beach frontage. It is surrounded by gorgeous gardens and swaying palm trees on pink sand Poponi beach.

A little slice of heaven

I warn anyone coming to Eleuthera for the first time to temper their ambitions because the first time you see this property you aren’t going to want to leave. During our stay, the water was beautiful and the beach was empty. The house is gorgeous and well stocked. Just grab the chairs provided, fill the cooler provided, and head down to the beach for the entire stay. Some advice: if you walk to La Bougainvillea, walk near low tide. The sand can be hard to walk on otherwise. Absolutely walk down there for pizza on Thursday. The lobster garlic pizza is amazing. This place is heaven.
