Paradise Island’s 2025 Surge
Paradise Island is the most trophy-driven micro market in Bahamas real estate right now. Between the established Ocean Club Residences and the newer Four Seasons-branded product, high-net-worth buyers are concentrating their search here because inventory is limited, amenity standards are high, and the area delivers the lifestyle visitors already know from Atlantis and The Ocean Club.
Average luxury sale prices on Paradise Island have moved from about US$3.9 million in 2024 to approximately US$4.2 million in early 2025, with prime oceanfront and marina-facing residences pushing well above that and price-per-square-foot often in the US$1,200–1,350 range.
Ocean Club Residences vs. Four Seasons Paradise Island
- Ocean Club Residences and Marina: Larger floor plates, marina slips, access to The Ocean Club Golf Course, elevated security, and proximity to Atlantis amenities. Suits buyers who want space and boating access.
- Four Seasons Residences: Newer, hotel-branded luxury with concierge, on-demand services, and rental management options. Suits buyers who want a turnkey, brand-backed asset that still qualifies for residency thresholds.
Both are 15 minutes to Nassau and Lynden Pindling International Airport, which is critical for U.S., Canadian, and European owners who want to arrive and be in-residence quickly.
Residency Fast-Track via Luxury Property
One reason buyers choose Paradise Island over other islands is the alignment between pricing and residency requirements. Purchases of US$750,000 and above help applicants qualify for Bahamas permanent residency. Purchases at or above US$1.5 million can be submitted for accelerated consideration, which is attractive to families relocating for tax, lifestyle, or school reasons.
If the residence you select is within a top-tier Paradise Island community, you can pair your property acquisition with a residency submission and handle both during a short stay in Nassau.
Why Buy Now
- Limited inventory of waterfront and marina-focused residences priced below US$5 million.
- Consistent short-term and medium-term rental demand around Paradise Island, with many residences achieving healthy occupancy because of brand and location.
- A stable, U.S. dollar-pegged environment and a mature, investor-friendly framework under the International Persons Landholding Act.
- Strong buyer interest from relocation clients in 2025 who want to secure tax-neutral living and school access now, before further price movement.
Local Compliance and Representation
Working with a licensed Bahamas real estate agent registered with the Bahamas Real Estate Association (BREA) and using Bahamas MLS (BMLS) data protects you during the purchase process. It ensures proper title checks, adherence to local regulations, and access to current, on-island inventory that may not be widely marketed.
My Recommendation
As someone who has helped clients combine their property purchase with Bahamas residency and, in some cases, with wedding or family relocation plans, I recommend shortlisting three residences on Paradise Island, confirming residency eligibility with me, and then requesting the full investor package below. That way you have real numbers, current availability, and a direct line to a licensed local advisor.
