As a British/Bahamian realtor, I was asked to write an editorial as to why someone should consider buying property in the Bahamas. Having been born in the Bahamas to British parents, educated in Scotland, America, Law School in England and having travelled extensively throughout the World, I can safely say there is no place in the World that I would rather live than here in Nassau, Bahamas.

The Bahamas is a beautiful coral archipelago that is made up of over 700 islands, it has a pop...

Each of the 67 oversized luxurious junior suites and six two-bedroom suites are set directly on the pristine white beaches of Grand Bahama Island. They are just steps from the ocean and are lavishly appointed with custom-designed island plantation furnishings and décor, beautifully appointed baths with soaking tubs and private terraces overlooking the sea.

The location, set on the westernmost tip of the island near the historic village of West End, is as spectacular as the resort itse...

Most of the cays are unpopulated. The chain ends with two large islands, Great Exuma, and Little Exuma, some 40 miles and 20 miles long respectively. Modern history of the Exumas dates to 1783, when American Loyalists, remaining true to the British king after the United States won the American Revolutionary War, resumed their former way of life in these islands, complete with cotton plantations and African slaves. Remnants of these plantations still remain. The major landowner was Lord John R...

No investment speaks more powerfully about confidence in a country and its future than an investment in real estate. And never in the history of the Bahamas has the real estate market drawn more investment, local and foreign, than now, when the business climate is sunny and hot and the welcome mat is out.

Property boom
Driving the boom is a combination of what the Bahamas has to offer and how limited the supply of land is.

Property is scarce, coastlines are finite and dem...

The Bahamas gets its name from the Spanish, baja mar, meaning ‘shallow sea’. The turquoise waters that lap this land are as calm and warm as its people. Throughout the 700-plus islands that constitute The Bahamas, residents tend to abide by ‘island time’, an affectionate term used to describe the Bahamians’ laid-back demeanour and their slow-moving way of life. It isn’t too hard to fall into this habit: many of islands are either uninhabited or sparsely pop...

As the world grows smaller, overseas properties provide investors and second home owners with more and more ownership opportunities. Savvy investors understand that a secure financial future is best built with a diversified portfolio of assets – and that portfolio must include property. Over the last 20 years property investments have outperformed returns on stocks and with far lower volatility. Markets previously unavailable, or viewed as too risky, are now offering fantastic propertie...

With over 365 islands in the Exuma chain, there is a new one to explore every day of the year. Each island or cay has its own unique character. Some are quite small with secluded, pristine sand and untouched tropical vegetation. Others are quite rocky and rise up to spectacular cliffs or have lush, rolling green hills.


The diverse landscapes are awe inspiring and promise to intrigue and excite even the most seasoned of world travellers. Great Exuma is the largest island in ...

Stretching from Cuba towards the Florida coastline, the Bahamas consists of over 700 islands which present a plethora of opportunities to sail, dive, kayak, swim, cave, ride horses or simply lounge on beaches, plus any other water or sand-based activity you can conceive – plus a few that you can’t.

Only 30 of the islands are inhabited, with larger ones accustomed to an annual influx of tourists from around the globe. The best experiences are had away from New Providence an...
