Glenn's Bottom Line: ONE Cable Beach is the smart play if you want immediate rental income at the lowest entry point. Goldwynn suits buyers who value resort services and hotel-managed rentals. Aqualina is for buyers who want the largest layouts, a dedicated boat club, and are comfortable waiting for completion.

What Are the Current Prices for Each Cable Beach Condo?
Price is the biggest differentiator. ONE Cable Beach enters at roughly half the cost of Goldwynn and Aqualina, making it the gateway to Cable Beach luxury.
| Property | Entry Price | Upper Range | Price / Sqft Est. | Purchase Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ONE Cable Beach | $1,285,000 (2-BR) | $1,450,000+ (2-BR); PH higher | ~$835–$955/sqft | Resale — move in now |
| Goldwynn PH | $2,600,000 (2-BR) | TBA (3-BR) | TBA | Pre-construction deposit |
| Aqualina | $2,650,000 (3-BR) | $6M+ (4-BR); $11M+ (PH sold) | ~$1,020–$1,270/sqft | Under construction |
Glenn's Insider Note
ONE Cable Beach resale units offer the rare combination of immediate occupancy and proven rental income at half the entry cost of the newer developments. For buyers watching cash flow from day one, resale is the faster path to returns. I can send you a unit-specific ROI comparison across all three buildings.
ONE Cable Beach — 73 residences across 7 stories, the lowest entry point on Cable Beach luxury strip
Which Cable Beach Building Has the Best Amenities?
Each development delivers a distinct amenity philosophy. Goldwynn leans into resort indulgence, Aqualina into active outdoor living, and ONE Cable Beach into beachfront simplicity.
| Amenity | ONE Cable Beach | Goldwynn PH | Aqualina |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Beach | ✓ | ✓ (resort) | ✓ |
| Infinity Pool | ✓ | ✓ + rooftop | ✓ |
| Full-Service Spa | — | ✓ Rhizophora | — |
| Restaurants | Cabana bar/grill | 3 (OIA, Atria, Amara) | Beach club lounge |

| Security | 24-hour gated | Resort security | 24-hour gated |
| Covered Parking | ✓ + EV charging | ✓ underground | ✓ + EV charging |
Glenn's Insider Note
The boat club at Aqualina is a genuine differentiator — you get access to a 43-foot Midnight Express powerboat through the concierge without the ownership hassle. If boating matters to your lifestyle, no other Cable Beach condo offers this. Meanwhile, Goldwynn's on-site spa and three restaurants are unmatched for convenience.
Which Cable Beach Condo Generates the Most Rental Income?
Rental income depends on completion status, management quality, and demand. ONE Cable Beach has the only proven rental track record because it is the only completed building.
| Metric | ONE Cable Beach | Goldwynn PH | Aqualina |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | Operating now | Pre-construction | Under construction |
| Management | BOND Bahamas | Goldwynn Resort (Wynn) | Aristo-managed (optional) |
| Rental Types | Short + long-term | Resort-structured | Short + long-term |
| Blackout Periods | None | Resort schedule | None |
| 2-BR Monthly Lease | $6,250–$6,500 | N/A (not yet built) | N/A (not yet built) |
| 4-5 BR Monthly Lease | $11,000–$19,000 | N/A | N/A |
| Income Tax | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| VAT on Short-Term | 10% (guest pays, <45 days) | 10% | 10% |
Key insight: ONE Cable Beach 2-bedroom units currently lease at $6,250–$6,500 per month. On a $1.35M purchase, that represents approximately 5.6–5.8% gross yield before expenses. Neither Goldwynn Penthouses nor Aqualina can demonstrate operating rental yields yet because neither is completed.

Does Buying at ONE Cable Beach, Goldwynn, or Aqualina Qualify for Bahamas Residency?
All three exceed the $1,000,000 Economic Permanent Residency threshold updated in January 2025. Here is how each stacks up against the EPR requirements.
| EPR Requirement | ONE Cable Beach | Goldwynn PH | Aqualina |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum $1M investment | ✓ from $1.28M | ✓ from $2.6M | ✓ from $2.65M |
| Accelerated (>$1.5M) | Select units | ✓ all units | ✓ all units |
| 10-year hold required | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| 90-day annual presence | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Can file EPR now? | Yes — on closing | On completion/closing | On completion/closing |
Glenn's Insider Note
If residency timing matters, ONE Cable Beach is the only option where you can close and file your EPR application immediately. Goldwynn and Aqualina buyers must wait until the building is complete and title is conveyed. I handle both the property purchase and the EPR application as a licensed Residency Consultant.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cable Beach Condo Comparison
Which Cable Beach condo is the best investment in 2026?
ONE Cable Beach offers the strongest value play at approximately $1.28 million entry for a 2-bedroom resale with proven rental demand and immediate income through BOND Bahamas. Aqualina targets ultra-luxury buyers from $2.65 million with larger 3–4 bedroom units and a boat club. Goldwynn Penthouses start at $2.6 million pre-construction with resort-managed rental potential. ONE Cable Beach is the only building that is completed and generating verified rental income today. Call Glenn for a personalised investment comparison.
What is the cheapest luxury condo on Cable Beach?
ONE Cable Beach has the lowest entry point among Cable Beach luxury condominiums at approximately $1,285,000 for a resale 2-bedroom, 1,541-square-foot second-floor unit. Goldwynn Penthouses start at $2,600,000 pre-construction, and Aqualina starts at approximately $2,650,000 for a 3-bedroom. All three are beachfront developments adjacent to Baha Mar.
Which building has the highest rental income potential?
ONE Cable Beach has the strongest proven track record because it is the only completed building with an established rental program managed by BOND Bahamas. Current monthly lease rates range from $6,250–$6,500 for 2-bedroom units and up to $19,000 for the largest penthouses. Goldwynn offers structured resort-managed rentals through its hotel operation. Aqualina will offer an optional program once completed but has no operating history yet.
Is ONE Cable Beach or Aqualina better for full-time living?
Both are excellent choices built by the same developer, Aristo Development. ONE Cable Beach suits owners wanting a quieter boutique feel with 73 residences across 7 stories and immediate move-in. Aqualina offers larger layouts from 2,600 to 7,500+ square feet, private elevator access per unit, a tennis court, and a dedicated boat club — ideal for owners who want space and active outdoor living. The two buildings sit adjacent to each other on Cable Beach.
Are Goldwynn Penthouses worth the premium over ONE Cable Beach?
Goldwynn Penthouses offer resort integration including Rhizophora Spa, three restaurants, a rooftop pool, sauna, cold plunge, and a structured hotel-managed rental programme through an established resort brand. ONE Cable Beach at $1.28 million resale offers immediate ownership, proven rental income, and roughly half the entry cost. The right choice depends on whether you prioritise resort services and brand-driven rental management or lower entry cost with independent management flexibility.
Which Cable Beach condo qualifies for Bahamas permanent residency?
All three qualify. Economic Permanent Residency requires a minimum $1,000,000 real estate investment as of January 2025. ONE Cable Beach starts at approximately $1.28 million, Goldwynn at $2.6 million, and Aqualina at $2.65 million. Purchases above $1.5 million receive accelerated processing. EPR requires a 10-year property hold and 90-day annual presence. ONE Cable Beach is the only building where you can file EPR immediately upon closing because it is already completed.
Who developed ONE Cable Beach, Aqualina, and Goldwynn?
ONE Cable Beach and Aqualina were both developed by Aristo Development, led by Jason Kinsale. Aristo's portfolio includes The Balmoral (200+ townhomes in Nassau) and THIRTY SIX on Paradise Island. Goldwynn was developed by Wynn Development Ltd, a family company in business since 1984 with approximately $1.5 billion in real estate developed across Toronto, the US, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. The Wynn family are permanent residents of The Bahamas.
Can international buyers finance a Cable Beach condo?
Yes. Several Bahamas-based banks offer mortgage financing to non-resident buyers. Terms typically require 30–50% down with rates above US domestic levels. Pre-construction developments like Goldwynn and Aqualina may offer developer payment schedules during the build phase. Ask Glenn for introductions to experienced non-resident condo lenders.
Which Cable Beach building has the best amenities?
Goldwynn offers the broadest lifestyle package: Rhizophora Spa, three restaurants, rooftop pool, sauna, cold plunge, beach butlers, and valet. Aqualina is designed for active owners with a dedicated boat club featuring a 43-foot Midnight Express powerboat, tennis and pickleball courts, yoga studio, and infinity pool. ONE Cable Beach provides a private beach, infinity pool, fitness centre, cabana with bar and grill, full-time concierge, and 24-hour security — simpler but proven and operational.
How far are these condos from Nassau airport and downtown?
All three are located on Cable Beach along West Bay Street, approximately 15–20 minutes by car from Lynden Pindling International Airport and about 10 minutes from downtown Nassau. All are within walking distance of the $3.5 billion Baha Mar Resort. ONE Cable Beach and Aqualina are adjacent to each other. Goldwynn sits slightly further east along the Cable Beach strip.
Should I buy resale at ONE Cable Beach or pre-construction at Aqualina or Goldwynn?
Resale at ONE Cable Beach means immediate occupancy, zero construction risk, and rental income starting day one. You can walk through the exact unit before committing. Pre-construction at Aqualina or Goldwynn offers potential appreciation during the build period, newer construction standards, and possible developer payment plans — but you carry completion-timeline risk and cannot generate rental income until handover. Request Glenn's comparison model with projected returns for both scenarios using current numbers.
