About Baha Mar Residences

Baha Mar Resort and Residences - Cable Beach Nassau

The largest and most comprehensive resort development in the Bahamas, offering privately owned condominiums within a world-class integrated resort complex on Cable Beach.

Baha Mar is the Bahamas' flagship integrated resort, occupying a prime stretch of Cable Beach on West Bay Street in Nassau. The development encompasses three internationally branded hotels - SLS Baha Mar, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, and Rosewood Baha Mar - together with a casino, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, multiple restaurants and bars, a full-service spa, beach clubs, and a convention centre. The scale of the amenity footprint exceeds any other single development in the Bahamas.

Baha Mar Residences are privately owned condominiums within this complex. Owners hold freehold strata title to their unit and gain access to the full Baha Mar resort amenity suite. Qualifying units can participate in the managed rental programme through the Baha Mar hotel operation, meaning the resort's professional booking infrastructure handles short-term rentals during periods when the owner is not in residence. The revenue share structure, owner-use provisions, and any blackout periods are specified in the management agreement - Glenn reviews these documents for every buyer before any offer is made.

The Baha Mar complex opened in 2017 following a high-profile development. The resort's scale - over 2,300 hotel rooms across three brands plus the residential component - gives it a fundamentally different character from boutique Cable Beach developments like Aqualina or Goldwynn. Buyers choosing Baha Mar are choosing the broadest possible amenity access and the most established managed rental infrastructure on Cable Beach. Buyers prioritising privacy and residential exclusivity look instead at the boutique buildings.

The Bahamas received 12.5 million visitors in the 12 months to January 2026 (Ministry of Tourism, January 28, 2026). Cable Beach's proximity to Lynden Pindling International Airport and the scale of the Baha Mar brand draw a meaningful share of that visitor traffic directly to the resort - supporting occupancy in the managed rental programme year-round.

Baha Mar Residences Nassau Bahamas - Cable Beach resort condos for sale
"Baha Mar is the right choice for buyers who want the widest possible amenity access on Cable Beach and a professionally operated rental programme backing their investment. If the question is privacy and residential scale, the answer is Aqualina. If the question is resort lifestyle and managed rental income from day one, the answer is Baha Mar. I make that distinction clear before the first viewing."

Residential brands within the complex

SLS, Grand Hyatt, and Rosewood Residences at Baha Mar

Baha Mar Residences are available across three internationally branded hotels within the complex. Each has a distinct design identity, amenity orientation, and price positioning.

Design forward and lifestyle-oriented

SLS Baha Mar

SLS is a lifestyle brand known for design-forward interiors, a younger and more social atmosphere, and a curated food and beverage programme. SLS residences within Baha Mar attract buyers who want the brand's distinct aesthetic and a vibrant social environment. SLS is part of the SBE / Accor portfolio. Amenity access is shared across the broader Baha Mar complex.

Largest hotel in the complex

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is the largest of the three hotels and the anchor of the complex, providing the broadest direct access to the Baha Mar casino, beach clubs, golf, and convention facilities. Grand Hyatt residences offer strong connection to the resort's primary amenity footprint. Grand Hyatt is part of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.

Most premium service orientation

Rosewood Baha Mar

Rosewood Baha Mar is the most formally luxurious of the three hotels, reflecting the Rosewood brand's reputation for intimate, bespoke service and elevated design. Rosewood residences command the highest price positioning within the complex and attract buyers prioritising service quality and brand prestige over scale. Rosewood Hotels and Resorts is owned by Hong Kong-based New World Development.

The Baha Mar managed rental programme benefits directly from the complex's position as the Bahamas' flagship integrated resort. The 12.5 million annual visitors to the Bahamas include a significant proportion who specifically book Baha Mar as a destination, generating stable year-round occupancy for the rental programme rather than the seasonal peaks that affect smaller boutique properties. The convention centre and gaming operations also drive consistent mid-week occupancy from corporate and group travel that leisure-only resorts do not capture.

The Bahamas tax structure applies to all Baha Mar Residences purchases: no capital gains tax on appreciation at sale, no inheritance tax, no income tax on rental proceeds earned by non-resident owners. Annual Real Property Tax is capped at $150,000 for non-owner-occupied property under the Real Property Tax Amendment Act No. 43 of 2025. The Bahamian dollar maintains a 1:1 peg to the US dollar. Bahamas GDP grew at 2.8% (IMF, February 5, 2026) and reported homicides fell 31% to 83 in 2025 (RBPF, January 27, 2026).

Cable Beach development comparison

How Baha Mar Compares to Other Cable Beach Condos

Baha Mar sits alongside three other principal condo developments on Cable Beach. Here is the objective distinction between them.

Development Type Scale Resort amenities Managed rental Starting price EPR eligible
Baha Mar Residences Hotel-residence hybrid Resort scale Full Baha Mar suite Yes - 3 hotel brands Mixed pricing Yes - qualifying
Aqualina Cable Beach Private residential 27 units None - purely private Confirm HOA From $2.65M Yes - all units

One Cable Beach Private residential Boutique Limited Confirm HOA Enquiry Yes - qualifying

Baha Mar is the correct choice for buyers who value the broadest possible amenity access and the largest established managed rental programme on Cable Beach. Aqualina is the correct choice for buyers who prioritise residential privacy and exclusivity above all else.

Closing costs and the buying process

What It Costs to Buy at Baha Mar Nassau

Glenn provides a full personalised cost breakdown for every Baha Mar listing before any offer is prepared.

Conveyance VAT. The government's flat 10% VAT on conveyance applies to the full Baha Mar purchase price - the same rate for all buyers regardless of nationality. This is the largest single additional cost at closing and cannot be negotiated or avoided. On a $1M Baha Mar unit it is $100,000. On a $1.5M unit it is $150,000.

Legal fees. Both buyer and seller retain independent Bahamian attorneys in all Bahamas condo transactions. Your attorney conducts the title search, reviews the Baha Mar management agreement and HOA documents, prepares the conveyance, remits government VAT, and registers the deed. Legal fees run 2.5% to 3.5% of the purchase price plus a further 10% VAT on the legal fee itself. Glenn refers buyers to experienced Bahamian attorneys who are familiar with the Baha Mar development documentation specifically.

Management agreement review. For hotel-residence hybrid purchases like Baha Mar, the management agreement between the hotel operator and the residential strata is as important as the title search. This document governs the rental revenue share structure, owner-use blackout periods, fee deductions from rental income, and the operator's obligations to the residential unit owners. Glenn reviews this documentation before any shortlist is prepared and presents it alongside the cost breakdown before the first viewing is arranged.

From accepted offer to registered deed, the timeline is typically 60 to 90 days. International buyers can complete the purchase fully remotely by power of attorney.

Buyer questions answered

Baha Mar Condos Nassau - Buyer FAQ

Specific questions buyers ask before purchasing at Baha Mar Residences - answered directly.

What are Baha Mar Residences in Nassau Bahamas?

Baha Mar Residences are privately owned condominiums within the Baha Mar integrated resort complex on Cable Beach, Nassau. The complex encompasses three internationally branded hotels - SLS Baha Mar, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, and Rosewood Baha Mar - together with a casino, the Royal Blue Golf Club (a Jack Nicklaus Signature course a short shuttle from the resort), a major spa, beach clubs, restaurants, and a convention centre. Residential owners hold freehold strata title to their unit and gain access to the full Baha Mar amenity suite. Qualifying units can participate in the managed rental programme through the resort's hotel operations, enabling rental income generation through professional management when the owner is not in residence.

How much do Baha Mar condos cost in Nassau Bahamas?

Baha Mar Residences condo prices vary by hotel brand (SLS, Grand Hyatt, or Rosewood), unit type, floor level, view, and current market availability. The complex's scale means there is a wide range of unit types and price points. Rosewood residences typically command the highest price positioning within the complex given the brand's service orientation. Contact Glenn Ferguson at +1-242-395-8495 for current MLS-listed pricing across all available Baha Mar units. He provides pricing for each brand alongside a full closing cost breakdown for any specific unit within 24 hours of enquiry. To compare Baha Mar pricing against other Cable Beach developments, see Aqualina Cable Beach (from $2.65M) and Goldwynn Residences.

Can foreigners buy a condo at Baha Mar Nassau?

Yes, with no restrictions. Foreign nationals hold the same freehold ownership rights as Bahamian citizens when purchasing at Baha Mar Residences. No nationality-based government permit is required for residential condo purchases in the Bahamas. The same flat 10% government VAT on conveyance applies to all buyers at the same rate - it is not a surcharge for non-residents. There are no minimum holding periods and no restrictions on rental programme participation or resale to any buyer. Glenn Ferguson specialises in representing international buyers and has managed Cable Beach purchases for buyers from the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, completed fully remotely by power of attorney where required.

Does buying at Baha Mar Nassau qualify for Bahamas permanent residency?

Yes, for qualifying units. Baha Mar Residences purchases at $1,000,000 or above (EPR minimum effective January 1, 2025) qualify for Economic Permanent Residency application under the Bahamas Investment Act. Purchases at $1.5M or above access the accelerated processing track with approvals typically issued within approximately 3 weeks. EPR grants indefinite right of residence in the Bahamas - no annual reporting, no Bahamian income tax, no minimum days required. The government fee is $20,000 ($25,000 with work rights). Spouses and dependent children under 18 are included at $300 per dependent. Glenn manages the EPR application concurrently with the purchase closing. Full details at the Bahamas EPR guide.

Can I earn rental income from a Baha Mar condo?

Yes. Baha Mar Residences offers a managed rental programme through its hotel operations across all three hotel brands. Qualifying units can be placed in the hotel rental pool when not in owner use, generating rental income through the resort's professional booking, guest management, and property maintenance infrastructure. This is the most established managed rental programme on Cable Beach - backed by the booking scale of the SLS, Grand Hyatt, and Rosewood global reservation systems and the resort's convention and casino operations that drive mid-week occupancy. The specific rental revenue share, owner-use provisions, fee deductions from gross rental income, and any blackout periods are governed by the management agreement. Glenn reviews this document for every Baha Mar buyer before any offer is prepared - the specific terms are material to the investment decision.

What are the closing costs when buying a Baha Mar condo?

Total buyer-side closing costs at Baha Mar Residences typically run 8% to 11% above the purchase price. The three components are: (1) a flat 10% government VAT on conveyance - the largest cost, non-negotiable, same for all buyers; (2) legal fees of 2.5% to 3.5% of the purchase price plus a further 10% VAT on those fees; and (3) title search and disbursements of $2,000 to $4,000. On a $1M Baha Mar unit the total estimated acquisition cost runs approximately $1.13M to $1.14M. On a $1.5M unit it is approximately $1.69M to $1.71M. Glenn provides a full personalised line-item breakdown before any offer. See the Bahamas property tax guide for detailed annual cost information.

What is the difference between SLS, Grand Hyatt, and Rosewood residences at Baha Mar?

The three hotel brands within Baha Mar serve distinct buyer profiles. SLS Baha Mar is a design-forward lifestyle brand with a social, vibrant atmosphere - SLS residences suit buyers who want that brand aesthetic and energy. Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is the largest hotel in the complex and provides the broadest direct access to the casino, beach clubs, and golf course - Grand Hyatt residences suit buyers prioritising resort scale and amenity breadth. Rosewood Baha Mar is the most formally luxurious brand in the complex, known for intimate bespoke service - Rosewood residences command the highest price positioning and suit buyers who prioritise service quality and brand prestige. All three brands share access to the broader Baha Mar complex amenities. Glenn shows units across all three in a single visit and provides objective comparison based on the buyer's lifestyle and rental priorities.

How does Baha Mar compare to Aqualina Cable Beach?

Baha Mar Residences and Aqualina Cable Beach are both on Cable Beach but are fundamentally different products serving different buyer priorities. Aqualina is a private residential building of 27 ultra-luxury residences with no hotel brand affiliation and no resort guest traffic - it is one of the last purely private-scale beachfront buildings in Nassau, starting at $2.65M. Baha Mar is an integrated resort complex with thousands of daily guests, three international hotel brands, a casino, and the broadest amenity and managed rental infrastructure in the Bahamas. Buyers who prioritise residential privacy and exclusivity above all else choose Aqualina. Buyers who want resort lifestyle services and the most established managed rental programme on Cable Beach choose Baha Mar. Glenn shows both developments and provides objective comparison - including current pricing for both - before any offer is considered.

"For Baha Mar, the management agreement is the document that determines whether the investment case holds after all fees and owner-use periods are accounted for. I read it before any buyer sees a unit - because the gross rental yield looks very different from the net yield once the management fee, brand fee, and blackout periods are applied."
