The most amazing villa rental where the Mayan civilization comes
together with a sports addict's thrill creating a wedding planner's
dream wedding location. Sean Connery, Oprah Winfrey, Robert DeNiro and
former President George H.W. Bush have been to Nygard Cay. This modern
Mayan masterpiece is a 150,000 square foot wonderland of excess. There
are waterslides and countless Jacuzzis. Hundreds of craftsmen from
Hollywood and Canada used tons of stone to create this colossal
structure hinting at pre-Columbian cultures. There is a 32,000 square
foot grand-hall with a 100,000 pound glass ceiling. The Cay is inspired
by the Mayan civilizatian which had some of the finest architecture
throughout the history of the world.

In
1987, Peter Nygård fulfilled his creative passion and architecturally
designed and built his own Robinson Crusoe playground named NYGÅRD CAY.
This private luxury resort includes replicas of Mayan Temples, private
tennis and volleyball courts, beaches, pool, disco club,
state-of-the-art home theatre, and 20+ themed cabanas for himself, his
family and many celebrity guests who wish to get away for a serene
sabbatical.
Peter
Nygård is truly a Rags-to-Riches story and Robin Leach is one to know,
as he has featured NCBR on numerous segments of Lifestyles of the Rich
and Famous throughout the 90s. On DEC-04, George Hamilton took us
behind the scenes of Peter Nygård’s private celestial playground on a
special TV segment called Life of Luxury on ABC.
NYGÅRD
CAY has become one of the most talked about and most unique private
residences throughout the world. In fact, Oprah hosted her show in
Nassau showcasing some of the most beautiful homes in the Bahamas and
commented, “After seeing NYGÅRD CAY, I am not living large enough! ”
