Luxury Bahamas Real Estate Locations

While you can find luxury real estate all through The Bahamas islands, here are some popular spots to call home:

Nassau

Nassau is a true island metropolis; the perfect mix of a big city seated in tropical paradise. As the capital city of the Bahamas, Nassau is the central hub of business, education, government, and arts.

Freeport

As the second largest city in The Bahamas, Freeport in Grand Bahama has much to offer. You get the benefits of living in a larger city but at a smaller population compared to a city like Nassau. It also holds the island’s international airport which makes it easier to travel and is one of the closest areas to the coast of Florida.

Exuma & Exuma Cays

The Exumas might be one of the most well-known spots of The Bahamas. Split into three different areas–Great Exuma, Little Exuma, and the Exuma Cays–each location offers something a bit distinct from one another.

Great Exuma and Little Exuma are more attributed to that relaxed, carefree island lifestyle while the Exuma Cays are more associated with luxury private homes and tropical elegance.

New Providence

As one of the most populous islands in The Bahamas, New Providence offers a beautifully mild climate, warm winters, and sparkling crystal blue waters. Agriculture and fishing make up the bulk of the local economy, as well as exporting rum to the international market.

Benefits of buying luxury real estate in the Bahamas

It’s impossible to cover all the benefits real estate owners in The Bahamas receive, but we’ll cover at least a few.

Incredible Climate

Who wouldn’t prefer 340 days of sun and temperate beach weather to almost anywhere? The Bahama’s sun, sky, and sea is often one of the main reasons people move to the islands. The Bahamas is sunny all year long, with beautiful beaches and clear water to enjoy life to its fullest

Tax Neutrality

The beauty of the Bahamas is that there is no income tax, capital gains taxes, inheritance taxes, or sales tax. However, there is a Stamp Duty and Value Added Tax imposed on the conveyance of property.

Because of the tax neutrality of The Bahamas, the government earns revenue through customs duties that are imposed on goods imported into the islands.

Friendly People

The Bahamas is a popular destination to relocate for expats, retirees, or those that want to enjoy that laidback island lifestyle. On top of meeting like-minded people, you’ll meet locals that are known for their friendliness, hospitality, and warmth.

Investment Opportunities

The Bahamas welcomes foreign investment with abundance of economic opportunities, from real estate investment to the growing tech industry.

The Bahamas Investment Authority (BIA) in the Office of the Prime Minister is tasked with the operational management of the Government’s investment regulations, ensuring that Bahamian and foreign investments complement each other and that the various sectors of the economy, such as the tourism industry and financial services industry, are linked.

There are a number of sectors of the economy that are specifically targeted for foreign investment. These include–but aren’t limited to–tourist resorts, upscale condominiums, marinas and timeshares, high-tech services, manufacturing, agricultural industries and financial services.

High-Quality International Education

The Bahamas is home to prestigious schools offering world-class education to both Bahamians and foreign residents. The country boasts a near-perfect literacy rate (98%), surpassing the U.S. by 10%. And, schools like Lyford Cay International School and Lucaya International School offer impressive IB programs and robust educational standards.
