Aqualina Cable Beach Luxury Condos Nassau

What Is Aqualina Cable Beach?

Aqualina is an ultra-luxury 11-story beachfront condominium on a 3-acre private beach site on Cable Beach, Nassau, directly adjacent to the $3.5 billion Baha Mar Resort. With just 27 exclusive residences, all 3 and 4-bedroom layouts with private elevator access, it is one of the lowest-density luxury developments on Cable Beach.

Aqualina sits on West Bay Street in the heart of Cable Beach, walking distance to Baha Mar's 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-foot 6-inch ceilings (11 feet 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.

Glenn's Insider Note

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. The development was reported 85% sold in September 2023 by the Tribune and limited inventory remains.

Aqualina Residence Layouts and Sizes

Aqualina offers three distinct 3-bedroom layouts and larger 4-bedroom residences, ranging from 2,577 sqft to over 7,500 sqft of interior space. Every unit includes generous covered balconies with unobstructed ocean views. The penthouse sold pre-construction for over $11 million, setting a Cable Beach price record per the Nassau Guardian (August 2021).

I provide floor plan PDFs, current pricing for each available unit, and comparable closed sale data from ONE Cable Beach and Goldwynn so you can evaluate Aqualina's value in context. Not every unit is listed on portals. Contact me for the complete picture.

What Amenities Does Aqualina Offer?

Aqualina delivers a resort-caliber amenity package unmatched by most Cable Beach developments. All amenities are included in ownership with no additional membership fees.

Can You Rent Your Aqualina Residence?

Yes. Aqualina offers an optional rental program with professional management. Both short-term and long-term rentals are permitted with no blackout periods and no restrictions on owner occupation. Use your unit whenever you want and earn rental income when you are not in residence.

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. There are no minimum rental commitments and no blackout periods restricting owner use.

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.

Glenn's Insider Note

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.

What Finishes Come Standard at Aqualina?

Every Aqualina residence is delivered with premium finishes as standard. No upgrade packages required.

Where Is Aqualina on Cable Beach?

Aqualina is on West Bay Street in the heart of Cable Beach, directly adjacent to the $3.5 billion Baha Mar Resort and walking distance to Baha Mar's restaurants, casino, golf course, and convention center. Ten minutes from downtown Nassau and Lynden Pindling International Airport.

Cable Beach is Nassau's premier luxury corridor, anchored by the $3.5B Baha Mar megaresort (Grand Hyatt, SLS, Rosewood). Aqualina sits on the western end of the strip, adjacent to Aristo's ONE Cable Beach. Food stores, banks, restaurants, nightlife, medical facilities, and shopping are all within walking distance or a short drive.

Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is approximately 10 minutes east. Direct flights from Miami (35 minutes), New York (3 hours), Toronto, London, and 20+ other cities. Private aviation facilities are also accessible. Nassau is in the Eastern Time Zone, same as New York City.

Who Built Aqualina Cable Beach?

Aqualina is developed by Aristo Development, led by President Jason Kinsale. Aristo has constructed over $500 million worth of Bahamas real estate across five successful residential communities: Hampton Ridge, The Balmoral (200 townhomes and single homes in Nassau), THIRTY SIX on Paradise Island, ONE Cable Beach (73 luxury oceanfront residences adjacent to Aqualina), and Aqualina.

The $100 million Aqualina development topped out 18 months into construction and was reported 70% sold before completion (Bahamas Local News). By September 2023, the Tribune reported the development as 85% sold. The penthouse sale of over $11 million set a Cable Beach record for a single residence per the Nassau Guardian.

What Does It Cost to Buy and Own at Aqualina?

Buyer-side closing costs are approximately 7-8% of the purchase price. Annual costs include HOA/maintenance fees, real property tax, and homeowner's insurance. There is no income tax on rental income in the Bahamas.

Annual Ownership Costs

Glenn's Insider Note

I provide a unit-specific cost estimate covering 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. Use the Closing Cost Calculator and Property Tax Calculator for detailed estimates.

Does Aqualina Qualify for Bahamas Permanent Residency?

Yes. Every Aqualina residence exceeds the $1,000,000 minimum for Economic Permanent Residency (EPR). EPR grants the right to live, work, and bank in The Bahamas indefinitely. Glenn handles both the Aqualina purchase and the EPR application.

The EPR threshold increased from $750,000 to $1,000,000 on 1 January 2025. Since all Aqualina units start above $2.65M, every unit qualifies with significant margin. Purchases above $1.5 million receive accelerated processing. The 10-year hold period and 90-day annual presence requirement apply. EPR does not automatically grant work rights; a separate work permit is required.
