August 2026 market guide

Bahamas private-island market: scarce, varied and infrastructure-led.

Private islands trade less frequently than conventional luxury homes, so broad averages can mislead. Compare each island on access, beachfront, elevation, title, utility infrastructure, development approvals and usable acreage.

What moves value

Eight factors matter more than acreage alone.

Access

Distance to an airport, marina, fuel, groceries, healthcare and service contractors.

Dockage

Depth, protection, dredging requirements and superyacht capability.

Elevation

Buildable high ground can be a major differentiator for storm resilience.

Utilities

Grid/underwater power, generators, solar, batteries, RO water and storage.

Structures

Usable homes, staff quarters and service buildings can save years of work.

Approvals

Existing marina/resort/development approvals can materially affect potential.
