Market Overview
The Bahamas, situated in the Atlantic but long tied to the Caribbean region, is its financial powerhouse and offshore luxury leader. With no income, inheritance, or capital gains tax, it attracts UHNWIs seeking both financial efficiency and world-class lifestyle. Its proximity to the U.S. (just 30 minutes from Miami) makes it one of the most accessible offshore markets, supported by direct flights from North America and Europe.
Nassau and Paradise Island remain anchors with branded residences like Rosewood at Baha Mar and the new Four Seasons at The Ocean Club, while Six Senses Grand Bahama and Montage Cay in the Abacos bring fresh energy to the market. Tradewind Aviation’s new flights to Marsh Harbour further elevate access to the Abacos, enhancing second-home demand. Combined with heritage enclaves like Lyford Cay and celebrity enclaves like Albany, the Bahamas delivers unmatched connectivity, stability, and branded supply, positioning it as the benchmark luxury market of the region in 2025.
