Situated on 1.5 acres of lush tropical vegetation, Leamington Caves is an exceptional destination, offering tranquility and adventure, private quiet spaces and expansive views of Bermuda.
The main house is a sanctuary nestled into a steep hillside with tropical flowers, trees and shrubs, complemented by several porches, patios and courtyards. The property is owned by a renowned Bermudian/American architectural designer who has artfully blended contemporary details and amenities with the home's unparalleled historic charm.
A pristine horizon-edge pool and pool deck are perched above the house, with stunning views of Harrington Sound.

The Main House
The 8,500 square-foot main house channels history with its exposed wood beams, cathedral ceilings, cedar accents, and Brazilian cherry wood flooring underfoot. The main floor radiates around a central garden grove of dwarf palm trees and includes a spacious living room with fireplace and full wet bar (wine fridge and ice maker), dining room, superbly equipped professional kitchen and TV/family room.

The Caves
Leamington Caves are a national treasure and Bermuda’s largest private natural caves. Dating back millennia but discovered over a century ago, the caves feature dramatic stalagmites and stalagtites and deep pools of turquoise water. Formerly a tourist attraction, the Caves are fully lit and very safely accessed by concrete staircases and railings, and a recently built wooden platform and dock.
Guests staying at Leamington Caves have exclusive access (through guided tours) to explore and swim in this extraordinary natural wonder!
