Summary
Musha Cay is a 700-acre private archipelago of eleven islands in the Exuma Cays, owned by the illusionist David Copperfield and marketed as the Islands of Copperfield Bay. It rents only as a whole-island all-inclusive buyout — publicly reported at roughly US$50,000 to US$60,000 a night with a five-night minimum — sleeping up to twenty-four guests.
Land & Waterfront
Forty private beaches across eleven islands, with seasonal sandbars, clear Exuma water and reefs for snorkelling and diving. Only one group is in residence at a time, so the whole archipelago is effectively private.
Access & Utilities
A private airstrip of around 2,200 feet and a fifteen-minute charter from Exuma International put it within about ninety minutes of the Florida coast. Five colonial-style villas and a hilltop manor house supply the bedrooms, with a staff of around thirty and multiple dining venues.
Ownership & Use
A rental island for a single group who want space and theatre in equal measure — the scale of a small archipelago with the service of a private estate.

Across this stretch of the southern Exumas, imagery review would focus on how the villa clusters sit relative to the many small beaches, and whether the surrounding cluster of lesser cays shows any linking paths, docks or cleared vegetation added over the years. The sand geometry on the leeward beaches is worth comparing season to season, as these thin banks shift readily. Look also for a small airstrip or helipad footprint and any tender jetties reaching into the shallows.
