Luxury Homes And Properties For Sale in Nassau

Nassau, located on the northeastern coast of New Providence Island, serves as the thriving capital city of the Bahama Islands. Along with neighboring Paradise Island, which is accessible by bridge, it’s often considered the gateway to the Bahamas.   

Located just 180 miles off Florida’s southern coast, Nassau offers international luxury real estate just an hour’s flight away from Miami.   

Around 250,000 people, over half of the total population of the Bahamas, are lucky enough to call Nassau home.   

Nassau’s sparkling beaches, lush natural beauty, and vibrant culture have made it a popular cruise-ship stop for tourists from all over the world. New Providence Island features an average elevation of just three feet and a maximum elevation of 151 feet.   

The island's semi-tropical climate typically features year-round temperatures ranging between 60°F to 90°F. Moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf stream and cooled by the northeast trade winds during the summer months, the comfortable Bahamian climate has become world-renowned.   

New Providence features miles of white and pink sandy beaches, stunning coral reefs and some of the clearest waters in the world. Nassau’s luxury real estate market offers unparalleled access to water activities such as boating, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing.   

Nassau’s VIP luxury charter yachts also serve tourists and residents alike with plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding islands.  A cruise along the coast of neighboring Paradise Island features stunning views of the world-famous Atlantis Resort as well as the celebrity homes of Oprah Winfrey, Jay Z, and Beyoncé.   

The more adventurous may prefer a luxury charter to Big Major Cay, an island completely inhabited by its famed swimming pigs.  

Those seeking homes for sale in Nassau should rest assured that the island’s crystal-clear beaches are only the beginning. The entire island is home to a spectacular array of natural vegetation as well as a vibrant community that’s lush with culture, art, history and music.   

Legend says that the Island of New Providence was named by Captain William Sayle in the mid-17th century. After being shipwrecked on the island, Sayle wished to thank “providence” for saving his life. While Nassau was originally known as Charlestown in honor of King Charles II, Spanish explorers would later rename it in honor of King William III, the former Prince of Orange-Nassau.   

Since being formally settled in the 1600s, Nassau has served as the home of everyone from pirates and privateers to settlers from countries such as Bermuda, Britain, Spain and America.  

Though now an independent Commonwealth, evidence of the island’s early colonial roots is still apparent in its many historic buildings. From the pink pastels of Parliament Square to the moats, cannons and underground passageways of Fort Charlotte, there’s plenty to explore.   

Today, the island’s centuries-old buildings effortlessly blend with a high-end collection of homes for sale with all the latest amenities. Nassau’s rich community offers plenty of world-class luxury dining experiences, unique cultural attractions and duty-free shopping.   

The island's luxury real estate market commonly attracts both potential permanent residents and discerning buyers seeking vacation homes for sale. The island’s many luxury resorts offer everything from beachside condo-hotel suites to breathtaking penthouses in luxury neighborhoods such as Downtown Nassau, Cable Beach and Gambier.
