Development Overview
What Is Aqualina Cable Beach?
Aqualina sits on West Bay Street in the heart of Cable Beach, walking distance to the Baha Mar megaresort and its restaurants, casino, golf course, and convention center. The development occupies a 3-acre beachfront parcel directly west of Aristo Development's earlier ONE Cable Beach project.
Every residence features floor-to-ceiling glass with panoramic ocean views, private elevator access directly to the unit, and 9'6" ceilings (11' in Beach Villas). The building is the first eco-friendly, ozone-friendly construction of its kind in The Bahamas, with superior indoor air quality and emission-friendly materials.
With the majority of units sold, Aqualina is one of the most in-demand new developments on Cable Beach. Limited inventory remains. Glenn provides current availability, pricing, and arranges private viewings.
"Aqualina's 27-unit count is a fraction of comparable Cable Beach developments. That scarcity drives both resale value and rental rates. With short-term and long-term rentals both permitted and no blackout periods, the investment case is as strong as the lifestyle."

Investment & Rental Program
Can You Rent Your Aqualina Residence?
How the rental program works: Owners who wish to participate enroll their unit in Aqualina's managed rental program. A professional management team handles marketing, guest coordination, cleaning, and maintenance. The program is designed for maximum flexibility — there are no minimum rental commitments and no blackout periods restricting owner use.
Rental income tax advantage: The Bahamas has no income tax. Rental income from your Aqualina unit is not taxed by the Bahamian government. Short-term rentals under 45 days are subject to 10% VAT collection from guests. Note: US citizens remain subject to IRS obligations on worldwide income regardless of where the income is earned.
Cable Beach rental demand: Proximity to Baha Mar and the convention center generates year-round demand. Aqualina's low unit count (27 total) limits supply and supports premium nightly rates compared to larger condo-hotel developments.
"I provide property-specific rental pro-formas for Aqualina units — projected nightly rates, seasonal occupancy, management fees, and net yield. The combination of no blackout periods and low unit count is rare on Cable Beach. Most competing developments restrict owner flexibility."

The Developer
Who Built Aqualina?
Aristo Development track record: ONE Cable Beach (luxury condos, adjacent to Aqualina), The Balmoral (Nassau), THIRTY SIX on Paradise Island, and Hampton Ridge. Each project was delivered and sold successfully. Aristo is one of the most established Bahamian developers focused on the luxury condominium market.
Aqualina project value: The $100 million Cable Beach development topped out 18 months into construction and was reported 70% sold before completion. The penthouse sale of $11 million set a Cable Beach record for a single residence.

"I provide a unit-specific cost estimate — closing costs, annual HOA, property tax, and insurance — before you make an offer. No surprises. I also negotiate VAT on conveyance splits; not every deal is 50/50. On a $3M unit, a 60/40 split saves you $30,000."
Residency Qualification
Does Aqualina Qualify for Bahamas Permanent Residency?
The EPR threshold increased from $750,000 to $1,000,000 on January 1, 2025. Since all Aqualina units start above $2.65M, every unit qualifies with significant margin. The 10-year hold period and 90-day annual presence requirement apply.
Aqualina's rental program allows you to meet the presence requirement during part of the year while earning rental income during your absence — an ideal structure for EPR holders who split time between The Bahamas and their home country.
