Ambergris Cay Living Introduces Ultra-Exclusive Island Villa Ownership

In the crystalline waters of the southeastern Turks & Caicos, Ambergris Cay has long been a sanctuary of seclusion and understated luxury. Now, through Waterloo Investment Holdings Limited, the private island unveils Ambergris Cay Living—an invitation to own one of just 20 bespoke homesites or five meticulously crafted turnkey villas. Designed to harmonize with the island’s untouched beauty, each residence grants access to world-class amenities while preserving the serenity that defines this Caribbean haven.

We spoke with Andreas Naegele, Vice President of Hospitality, about the vision behind these exceptional properties.

How did the natural landscape and character of Ambergris Cay influence the design of the homes?

The residences are thoughtfully designed with open-concept architecture, featuring expansive windows and generous outdoor living areas that invite the natural surroundings in. Drawing inspiration from Ambergris Cay’s warm climate and gentle trade winds, each home offers spacious terraces, shaded verandas, and open-air showers. Covered exterior spaces ensure the beauty of the island can be enjoyed year-round, while the overall design maintains a sense of seclusion without the need for walls or imposing structures. This approach preserves the island’s unspoiled character and reinforces a feeling of effortless connection to nature.

How do the homes respect and enhance the environment around them? (Any focus on sustainability, low-impact construction, native flora, etc.?)

Ambergris Cay maintains an intentionally low-density layout, with a limited number of residences and guest accommodations to ensure a sense of space, privacy, and tranquility. Many homes are thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping views of the ocean, sunrise, or sunset, promoting a deep, uninterrupted connection to the island’s natural beauty. By maintaining the native flora, the island supports the habitats of local wildlife, including birds and reptiles, that are essential to the island’s ecosystem.

We are extremely conscious of the uniqueness of Ambergris Cay in that it is home to species of birds and reptiles that are not found anywhere else in the world and partnering with the San Diego Zoo we ensure that their natural habitat remains unspoiled and preserved.  While the island incorporates multiple energy sources, a significant portion is powered by a growing solar infrastructure. The current solar plant generates 560 kW and is being expanded to 1.74 MW, supported by over 1 MW of battery storage, reflecting the island’s strong commitment to sustainability and off-grid living.

In what ways do the residences reflect the same sense of seclusion and serenity the resort is known for?

Ambergris Cay is a private island, accessible only by plane, which already sets a tone of exclusivity and tranquility. Over 60% of this tropical island is a nature preserve designed to protect native species such as the endangered rock iguana, boas, Turk’s-head cactus, flamingoes, and other migrating birds. Each residence is thoughtfully positioned on the island to ensure maximum privacy, often surrounded by lush landscaping, or perched along secluded beachfronts. With generous lot sizes and expansive interiors, guests enjoy a sense of space rarely found in more densely developed resort areas, ensuring privacy and a tranquil environment.

Can you describe a standout design element or amenity that truly captures the spirit of Ambergris Cay?

Ambergris Cay has the largest private runway in the Caribbean which enables it to cater to any private or charter jet plane, coupled with on island immigration and customs as an official port of entry you may fly directly to the Cay and within 5 minutes be at your villa enjoying everything the island has to offer.  

Ambergris Cay Living exemplifies the pinnacle of private island ownership—where architectural intentionality, environmental stewardship, and uncompromising luxury converge. For those seeking a retreat that transcends the ordinary, this offering is a rare opportunity to claim a residence as extraordinary as the island itself.
