Some places don’t just invite relaxation – they inspire it. And with an impressive roster of past residents who’ve strolled through The Artists Villa, one of 20 private residences at Amanyara resort in Turks and Caicos, it’s clear that this retreat has something special for sparking creativity. I mean, Eric Clapton, Usher, Bono, John Legend, Pharrell Williams, Gloria Estefan and Beyoncé can’t all be wrong, right?

Tucked along the pristine western shore of Providenciales, The Artists Villa is where creativity flourishes and A-listers come to play. This sprawling sanctuary has seen its fair share of famous faces, from Gigi Hadid and Brad Pitt to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, all drawn to the stunning natural beauty and the luxurious tranquility on offer.
And it’s not just the peaceful setting of Amanyara’s 100-acre nature reserve that lures them in – the residence comes with its own recording studio, designed by Nile Rodgers, where rock and roll royalty from the likes of Prince through to Kanye West have found inspiration.
Priced at $39m, The Artists Villa is the crown jewel of Amanyara and the most iconic (and expensive) residence currently available for sale on the Caribbean archipelagos. With 15,700 sq ft of indoor-outdoor living space designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the villa’s five-bedroom pavilions are linked by serene wooden pathways through lush gardens.
True to Aman Resort’s signature style, the villa is a lesson in Asian-inspired minimalism, with clean lines, teak accents, and pagoda-style architecture blending harmoniously with the tropical surroundings. It’s no surprise this place has a reputation. Named in tribute to Prince, who performed here in the past, the villa’s state-of-the-art recording studio was designed by none other than his friend, legendary producer Nile Rodgers.

But even beyond its star-studded guest list, The Artists Villa is a sanctuary of luxurious amenities. The open-air great room, with its vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and sprawling living and dining areas, makes a grand setting for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet feasts, and each of the five-bedroom pavilions comes with its own ensuite—perfect for hosting family, friends, and the inevitable entourage.
But if you don’t fancy putting down permanent roots, The Artists Villa was selected for Elite Traveler’s Top 100 Suites, so we can personally vouch for its unmatched blend of luxury and privacy. Whether you’re ready to buy or just looking to vacation like a rock star, this retreat is pure paradise.
Outdoors, the villa is every bit as captivating. The 108-ft, zero-edge pool, crafted from black volcanic rock, stretches toward the horizon, overlooking a private beach. Among the landscaped gardens designed by Reed Hilderbrand, a yoga sala awaits, offering the perfect spot to unwind. And for those seeking wellness, the private spa, complete with a steam room, cold plunge and high-end gym, has everything you need to recharge.
