At Home with India Hicks in The Bahamas

Join us as we visit the stunning Bahamas oasis of India Hicks. An accomplished author, designer, former model, and entrepreneur extraordinaire, India seamlessly blends beachy charm with modern beauty in her seaside home, creating a comfortable and inviting retreat.

India hails from both British and design royalty, so an appreciation for the finer things is in her blood. As the daughter of renowned interior designer David Hicks – who transformed interiors with his bold patterns and vibrant colors – and British aristocrat Lady Pamela Hicks – daughter of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma – India was destined for a life of elegance and sophistication. With King Charles III as her godfather, it’s no wonder she possesses such refined taste and a keen eye for detail. Her background in fashion modeling – working with brands like Ralph Lauren and Emilio Pucci – and her extensive travels have profoundly influenced her distinctive style as well.

Situated on the simultaneously laid-back and upscale Harbor Island, India's home reflects her unique style. With five children, she has created a space that balances family life with aesthetics. Each room is filled with carefully curated pieces that pay homage to both her British heritage and island life.

Beyond her design prowess, India is deeply committed to humanitarian work. In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, she partnered with the Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to provide critical disaster relief. She established a Food Bank on Harbor Island and continuously volunteers to improve the lives of those affected. GEM's mission is to provide emergency aid, sustainable development, and long-term recovery programs to those in need, and India has been a pivotal part of their efforts in the Bahamas.

Today, she invites us into her slice of paradise, sharing the inspiration behind her home and offering a glimpse into her life on the island.
