This is the island as it was originally purchased.  The airport landing strip can be seen off to the right and can land a full-sized airliner.  The rest of the island is a self-contained paradise for the Wayne’s and whomever they bring along with them on vacation.  Below, you will find more pictures of the island.

The main buildings, such as the airport and the dock, were already established when the island was purchased.  However, each home was built to the specifications and desires of the family who was going to move into it.  It was a gift from Bruce and Grace to the close friends they call family.

First, there is the Main House where Bruce and Grace live with their children.

One of the most popular homes is perhaps what is affectionately called ‘The Pool House’.  It is the smallest of all the homes, generally used by couples who are on solo vacations and wish not to be on the main part of the island.

The bodyguards have two homes that are strategically placed on either side of the island.  They are designed to allow the men, and women, to have comfort during their downtime, but also provide functionality as well.

Throughout the island, there are private areas for couples to be alone.  There are family areas where everyone can gather or small places were friends can simply hang out.  Grace’s personal favorites are the cabanas and the island has several.
