La Palmeraie Harbour Island, Asian House
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet, sun-drenched lane in Dunmore Town, La Palmeraie is a sanctuary that feels a world away from the typical resort scene. Stepping into the Asian House is like entering a beautifully curated cabinet of curiosities, where dark woods and soft textiles create an atmosphere of serene luxury. I spent a good hour just lounging in the open-air pavilion, listening to the wind chimes and feeling completely transported. It’s less a museum and more an immersive experience in tranquil, island-inspired design.
Collection Highlights
The space is defined by its mood rather than traditional exhibits, featuring stunning Balinese carvings, intricate Thai sculptures, and collections of vintage textiles that you'll want to touch.
Visitor Information
Since it's a private holiday home, you can't just walk in for a tour—you have to be a guest or rent the property. Check their listing for availability; it’s perfect for a unique group getaway.
Architecture & Building
The building is a beautiful fusion of classic Bahamian clapboard with soaring ceilings and open-plan living, seamlessly blended with elegant Japanese and Balinese architectural elements.
