The most luxurious way to stay in the Exumas is to skip the properties recommended below (yes, even the Four Seasons) and rent a villa at February Point Resort Estates (tel. 877/839-4253 or 242/327-1567; fax 242/327-1569; www.februarypoint.com) when the owners are away. This upscale resort community opens onto the Exumas' most coveted oceanfront property and lies on a private 32.4 hectare (80-acre) peninsula overlooking tiny cays, coves, and virgin beaches. These villas are luxuriously furnished with spacious bedrooms, dining rooms, and full kitchens, coming with two, three, four, or even five bedrooms. Villa rental in winter starts at US$800 (£400) to US$1,000 (£500) daily, but in summer, prices start at US$600 (£300).
