Where is Tyler Perry private island?

Tyler Perry Lives Lavishly on White Bay Cay Tyler Perry spends his down time on a private island. The writer-actor-producer is the proud owner of White Bay Cay, a previously undeveloped island in the Bahamas.



Tyler Perry’s private island, known as White Bay Cay, is located in the Exuma Cays of the Bahamas. This stunning 25-acre tropical retreat is part of a chain of 365 islands famous for their sapphire-blue waters and pristine white sand. Perry reportedly purchased the island in 2009 as a 40th-birthday gift to himself and has since transformed it into a world-class sanctuary. The island features a massive Balinese-style main residence and several guest bungalows, all designed to blend into the natural landscape while providing ultimate luxury and privacy. In addition to the residential structures, the property includes a private landing strip for his aircraft and a deep-water dock for yachts. Located about 70 miles southeast of Nassau, White Bay Cay is situated in an area favored by many celebrities (such as Johnny Depp and David Copperfield) who seek refuge from the public eye. While the island is strictly private and not open to the public, boaters in the Exumas can occasionally see the lush tropical landscaping and the elegant architecture of the estate from a distance as they navigate the crystal-clear channels of the Bahamian archipelago.
