About the Island

A Self-Contained World of Luxury

Paradise Island is one of the most recognizable resort destinations on earth — a 685-acre barrier island connected to Nassau by bridge, yet possessing its own distinct ecosystem of world-class resorts, private estates, championship golf, and award-winning dining.

Long defined by Atlantis and the legendary Ocean Club — now a Four Seasons Resort — the island is entering a new golden era. The $300 million Ocean Club Four Seasons Residences broke ground in January 2025. The Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina has transformed the western harbour into a superyacht hub. One Ocean delivers the island's finest harbour-view condos. And a new food, retail and hospitality quarter has taken shape at Paradise Landing.

For investors and lifestyle buyers alike, Paradise Island offers something rare: resort-grade amenities, high rental demand, a zero-capital-gains tax environment, and direct flights from major US, Canadian, and European cities.

The Resorts That Define Paradise Island

Understanding the island's resort landscape is essential to understanding its real estate. Several properties offer branded residential ownership — combining five-star service with the freedom of private ownership.

One of the world's most recognised resort destinations, Atlantis spans over 171 acres and defines the entertainment landscape of Paradise Island.

The Aquaventure water park alone spans 141 acres. The casino floors 60,000 square feet. The dining portfolio runs to 22+ restaurants. Ownership at The Reef places residents in the heart of all of it, with the option to place units into Atlantis's rental program for income when not in residence.

The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort

Originally developed by Huntington Hartford in 1963, the Ocean Club is Paradise Island's most storied luxury address. Set on a private beach on the island's eastern tip, the property is famous for its Versailles Gardens — one of the most photographed spots in the Bahamas — and for being featured in the James Bond film Casino Royale.

Four Seasons has managed the property since 2017 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023. Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Dune restaurant and The Martini Bar remain perennial highlights. The resort is the anchor for Ocean Club Estates, the island's most exclusive gated community.

Additional Hospitality on & Near Paradise Island

The broader Nassau/Paradise Island corridor benefits from significant hotel infrastructure. Baha Mar — just across the bridge — adds three hotel brands (Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood) and a second casino to the destination. The Comfort Suites Paradise Island and British Colonial hotels serve the broader visitor market.

This density of resort product creates deep, year-round visitor demand that underpins the short-term rental market for Paradise Island condos not enrolled in hotel rental programs.

The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort

Where Atlantis is spectacle, the Ocean Club is serenity. Set on 35 acres of Versailles-inspired gardens along a private stretch of Paradise Island's north beach, this is one of the most quietly legendary resort addresses in the world — a property that has hosted royalty, heads of state, and the global creative elite since Huntington Hartford first opened it in 1963.

Under Four Seasons management since 2017, the 105-room property maintains its defining character: unhurried, private, and immaculately refined. The staff-to-guest ratio is exceptional, the service culture legendary, and the attention to detail consistent with the very best Four Seasons properties globally.

Residents of Ocean Club Estates and Ocean Club Residences & Marina hold access privileges to the Ocean Club's amenities — including the beach club, spa, pools, and the golf course. Owners of the forthcoming Four Seasons Residences will receive the same access, amplified by an exclusive suite of resident-only amenities including a private wine cellar and rum room, owners' library, co-working space, and beachfront restaurant.

Ocean Club guests also receive complimentary shuttle access to Atlantis — giving the best of both worlds: the tranquility of the Ocean Club and the spectacle of Atlantis, on demand.

A convergence of lifestyle, tax efficiency, rental demand, and global accessibility makes Paradise Island one of the most compelling luxury real estate markets in the Western Hemisphere.

✦

Unmatched Resort Infrastructure

No private island in the Caribbean can match the density of amenities on Paradise Island. Atlantis's 141-acre water park, 22+ restaurants, 60,000 sq ft casino, and multiple pool complexes create a leisure environment that drives year-round rental demand and sustained property values.

The $300M Four Seasons Residences (2027–28), the completed Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina ($250M), and the broader Paradise Landing mixed-use quarter represent the largest wave of new investment in Paradise Island's modern history — increasing both prestige and property values across the island.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paradise Island Real Estate: Your Questions Answered

Can foreigners buy real estate on Paradise Island?
Yes. The Bahamas welcomes foreign ownership of real estate with no restrictions whatsoever. You may purchase in your own name, through a Bahamian corporation, or via a foreign company, subject to registration with the Investments Board. All purchases require a Bahamian attorney to handle title search and conveyancing — our team can recommend experienced counsel.
What types of properties are available on Paradise Island?
Paradise Island offers a diverse spectrum: resort-branded condos at The Reef at Atlantis; harbour-front condominiums at One Ocean (tallest residential building on the island); the 88-unit Ocean Club Residences & Marina within the gates of Ocean Club Estates; private estate homes and custom lots throughout Ocean Club Estates; the new ultra-luxury Four Seasons Residences (67 oceanfront units, delivery 2027–28); Harborside Resort villa-style units; and dockside residences at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina's Paradise Landing development.
What is the price range for Paradise Island real estate?
Entry-level resort condo ownership begins around $400,000 for a Reef at Atlantis studio suite. One Ocean condos typically range $900,000–$4.5 million. Ocean Club Residences run approximately $2–5 million. Ocean Club Estates private homes range from $3 million to $30 million+. The new Ocean Club Four Seasons Residences are priced from approximately $8.9 million to $23 million for beach villas.
What is the new Four Seasons development?
The Ocean Club, Four Seasons Residences, Bahamas is a $300 million development by Two Roads Development and Access Real Estate. It comprises 67 turnkey oceanfront private residences — including two five-bedroom beach villas — designed by SB Architects with interiors by Champalimaud Design. Groundbreaking occurred January 2025, with completion expected 2027–2028. Residences are priced from approximately $8.9 million to $22.9 million. The development is adjacent to the existing Ocean Club Four Seasons Resort and sits on the last piece of undeveloped beachfront on Paradise Island.
What is Hurricane Hole and can I buy there?
Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina at Paradise Landing is a fully reimagined $250 million development by Sterling Global Financial, opened November 2022. The deep-water marina accommodates vessels up to 420 feet and is the only facility in Nassau/Paradise Island offering in-slip fueling. The Paradise Landing development also includes dockside residences available for purchase, restaurants, retail, grocery, and professional offices. Slip ownership is available with a rental program for income when the berth is not in personal use.
Does buying on Paradise Island qualify for Bahamas residency?
A purchase of $750,000 or more qualifies for consideration for the annual Homeowner's Resident Card — providing annual residency rights. For buyers seeking to change their fiscal domicile, the relevant threshold is the $1.5 million Accelerated Economic Permanent Residency programme, which confers permanent residency status. The $1M Homeowner's Resident Card provides annual residency only and is not sufficient to establish fiscal domicile. Always consult a Bahamian immigration attorney regarding your specific situation.
What are the ongoing costs of owning on Paradise Island?
Annual costs typically include: property tax (the Bahamas does levy a property tax — though Reef at Atlantis owners in the rental program may be exempt); HOA or condo fees (varying by development); utility costs; and, if applicable, property management fees. Buyers enrolled in resort rental programs at Atlantis typically receive income that substantially offsets carrying costs. There is no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax in The Bahamas.
