Aqualina Cable Beach
Beachfront Residences

Aqualina Cable Beach comprises 27 ultra-luxury residences. This makes it one of Nassau's most exclusive low-density developments on Cable Beach. Owners share common facilities with fewer than 30 households — in contrast to the 200-plus unit resort-branded towers that dominate the same shoreline. The limited unit count is both the building's central selling point and the reason well-informed buyers act quickly when a unit comes to market.

Aqualina Cable Beach residences are priced from $2.65 million USD. Pricing varies by floor level, unit type (3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, or penthouse configuration), current inventory, and market conditions. Prices are quoted in USD and do not include the 10% conveyance VAT or legal fees payable on top.

Yes. Foreign nationals face no restrictions on freehold property ownership in the Bahamas. There is no government permit requirement for residential purchases. The primary additional cost is a flat 10% Value Added Tax on conveyance, applied equally to all buyers regardless of nationality. No minimum holding period applies, and there are no restrictions on future sale or rental. Glenn Ferguson specialises in representing international buyers and manages the full transaction remotely where required.

Total acquisition costs for buyers at Aqualina typically fall between 8% and 11% above the stated purchase price. On a $2.65M purchase, that is an additional $212,000 to $291,500. The main components are the 10% conveyance VAT ($265,000 on $2.65M), legal fees of 2.5% to 3.5% of the purchase price plus 10% VAT on those fees ($73,000 to $102,000), and title search and disbursements ($2,000 to $4,000). A detailed personalised cost estimate is provided before any offer is prepared. See the full breakdown in the investment costs section above.

Yes. All Aqualina Cable Beach units exceed the $1,000,000 minimum investment threshold for Economic Permanent Residency under the Bahamas Investment Act (increased to $1M effective January 1, 2025). Purchases at $1.5M or above access the government's accelerated processing pathway, with approvals typically issued within approximately 3 weeks. EPR grants the right to reside indefinitely in the Bahamas — with no annual reporting requirements, no income declaration, and no restriction on travel. Glenn Ferguson manages the EPR application concurrently with the real estate transaction. Full Bahamas EPR guide here.

Yes, and it is both required by convention and strongly recommended. Both buyer and seller retain separate independent legal counsel in every Bahamas residential transaction. The buyer's attorney conducts the title search, prepares the conveyance documentation, handles VAT and stamp duty remittance to the government, and registers the deed at the Bahamas Registry of Records. Glenn Ferguson provides referrals to experienced Nassau real estate attorneys and works in close coordination with legal counsel throughout the transaction to manage timelines.

Under the Real Property Tax Amendment Act No. 43 of 2025, non-owner-occupied properties in the Bahamas are taxed at 1% on the first $500,000 of assessed value and 2% on assessed value above $500,000, subject to an absolute annual cap of $150,000. This cap is particularly favourable for high-value assets like Aqualina: a $2.65M property assessed at full market value would otherwise face a theoretical RPT liability of over $40,000 annually, capped at $150,000 maximum. Owner-occupied primary residence rates are lower. For the full breakdown, see the Bahamas property tax guide.

Yes, subject to Aqualina HOA rental regulations. Owners may let their unit on both short-term and long-term terms. The Bahamas imposes no income tax on rental proceeds earned by non-resident property owners. Short-term rental VAT at 10% applies to nightly rates and must be remitted quarterly to the Bahamas government. Cable Beach is a high-demand rental location: Nassau short-term rental average daily rates reached $510.80 as of August 2025 (AirDNA, CBOB). The Bahamas received 12.5 million visitors in the 12 months to January 2026 (Ministry of Tourism, January 28, 2026), sustaining occupancy rates that make Cable Beach investment property economically compelling year-round.

A typical residential transaction in Nassau closes within 60 to 90 days from the date of an accepted offer. This timeline covers attorney due diligence, title search, government VAT processing, and final registration at the Bahamas Registry of Records. All-cash purchases with clean title history can close faster. Transactions where buyers are purchasing remotely from outside the Bahamas can be managed fully by power of attorney, avoiding the need to travel for closing. Glenn Ferguson coordinates all parties throughout to keep the process on track.
