Hey friends, remember when I said I’d found my happy place? Yeah, I lied. Because I hadn’t been to Villa DumBay yet. Let me tell you why this beachfront paradise is now my official happy place…

First Impressions: “Is This Real Life?”

You step out of the car, and the first thing you see is an infinity pool melting into the turquoise ocean. The sand is so white it glows, and the breeze smells like salt and freedom. That’s Villa DumBay.

The Vibe

Bright, airy, and so Instagrammable. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the outside in, and the pops of blue in the decor make you feel like you’re living inside a postcard. It’s luxury without the pretentiousness perfect for families, friend groups, or that “treat yourself” solo trip.

Why You’ll Fight Over the Bedrooms

No one wants the “meh” room. But here? Every bedroom is a masterpiece. My fave? The Grand Master Suite on the top floor. Waking up to ocean views from your private balcony is the kind of thing dreams are made of. And the twin beds in Guest Suite 1? Perfect for kids or that one friend who snores.

Pro Tip: Claim the ground-floor Master Suite 2 it opens right onto the pool terrace. Morning coffee with your toes in the water? Yes, please.

The “I’m Never Leaving” Outdoor Spaces

The infinity pool is the star of the show, but the outdoor living areas? Chef’s kiss.

Poolside Loungers: For when you want to tan like a lizard.

Beach Deck: Your private slice of sand, complete with sun loungers and umbrellas.

Al Fresco Dining: That 10-seater table is perfect for sunset dinners (or late-night wine sessions).

And don’t even get me started on the fire pit. S’mores under the stars? Done.

For the “But What About…?” Crew

Beach Access? DIRECT. Like, roll out of bed and onto the sand direct.

Activities? Kayaks and SUPs are included. Kite surfing is also huge here Long Bay Beach is a hotspot.

Walkable? It’s peaceful and private, but Grace Bay’s restaurants and shops are just 10 minutes away.

Parking? Gated entrance with space for two cars.

The Secret Weapon: The Concierge Team

Shoutout to Scott Dunn (the luxury travel wizards who helped me book this gem) they made everything seamless. The villa’s concierge team is equally amazing. Daily housekeeping? Check. Pool and garden maintenance? Check. Need a private chef or a spa treatment? They’ve got you.

Extra Services Worth Splurging On:

Private Chef: Because vacation = no cooking.

Grocery Pre-Stocking: Arrive to a fridge full of snacks and wine.

Airport Transfers: Because hauling luggage after a flight is the worst.

Why This Villa? (Besides the Obvious)

For Families: Kid-friendly amenities (high chairs, cribs, and a media room for movie nights).

For Foodies: That kitchen is a DREAM. We cooked fresh seafood dinners, but you could easily hire a chef.

For Relaxation Junkies: The sauna-like heat of the pool, the sound of the waves, the fire pit crackling at night… it’s pure bliss.

The Nitty-Gritty

Book: 3-night minimum.

Pro tip: Go in shoulder season (April-May or November) for fewer crowds.

Location: 233 Long Bay Beach – pin it, screenshot it, tattoo it on your flip-flop.

Final Thought

Villa DumBay is the kind of place that makes you forget your email password (in the best way). Whether you’re here for the beach, the pool, or just the vibe, it’s the kind of escape that’ll have your group texting “Remember that time in Turks & Caicos?” for years.

Now, who’s booking the private chef for me next time? 😉

P.S. Tag me if you go I need to live vicariously through your poolside selfies! 🌊✨
