She had us at Legally Blonde. And decades later, she’s playing in the big leagues, producing some of the best television at a rarified stratum of Hollywood. Reese clearly works hard, and she plays hard too. We’re sure she knows how to have a good time, and this is one of her go-to spots for a getaway.
Reese and look-alike daughter, Ava, might be dressed in Christmas sweaters on Instagram now, but as the holidays approach, we’re betting the whole Witherspoon gang heads to their favorite place to unwind — the Bahamas. Atlantis and Nassau are famous Bahamian destinations for hordes of vacationers looking to let loose, but you won’t find Reese and fam at the regular tourist traps. They head a little further inward to their private residence at the members-only Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club in the Abacos.
Anyone who’s been to Baker’s Bay knows this place is for the rich and famous. Tom Brady and Michael Jordan are some of Reese’s neighbors on the bay. You need a private plane to get there, and properties on the island feature custom architecture and design. The exclusive club, complete with an award-winning Tom Fazio-designed golf course, restaurants, a spa, a fitness center and pools, turns vacationing into living and is meant for more than just a short visit. It is first and foremost a golfer’s paradise, and the course, set alongside six miles of beach, is as rigorous as it is beautiful and features tempting snack bars for the midcourse breather. But there is loads to do on the island, including an unlimited array of water sports, cooking classes and hiking, as well as space to make art. One activity we know her family loves is hanging out with the famous swimming pigs, while simply enjoying life on a breathtaking tropical island in the West Indies.
If you ever get lucky enough or if you happen to know Reese herself, you should consider a trip to Baker’s Bay. You might just end up with a new property.
