Property Development World

We’ve featured condo hotel ownership options before at some of the world’s most elite developments - but now we have found a development that takes the exclusivity stakes even higher…

Paradise Island condo hotel ownership in The Bahamas at The Residences at Atlantis development offers purchasers the chance not only to buy amazing real estate – but the chance to buy into one of the world’s most amenity packed resorts as well.

Atlantis is located on Paradise Island which is just a bridge away from Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas; and Nassau is a regular short haul flight from the US making these condos highly accessible so that owners can fly in for just a night or a weekend’s relaxation if they want.

Naturally the condo hotel ownership options allow for the owner to reside full time in their studio, one or two bedroom designer furnished home – but no matter how often and for how long you want to occupy your residence you can relax happy in the knowledge that your home will be kept immaculate and pristine.

Condos are furnished right down the last details of linens and tableware with owners having many choices of finishings throughout the development phases.  The highest quality of materials are used in every aspect of the development, design and final specification of each condo as one would expect in a development of the caliber of Atlantis.

In terms of the services and amenities that those who choose Paradise Island condo hotel ownership in The Bahamas at The Residences at Atlantis can enjoy, they include world-class, well connected concierge staff who can arrange anything whatsoever for residents.  Then there are the discreet and highly professional security staff who ensure residents’ privacy and maintain the serenity of Atlantis.  Aside from these essential staff guests can have a private chef cater for them in their residence or they can dine out at any one of a long list of dining establishments throughout the resort.  Choose from poolside fast food or sophisticated gourmet dining, a quick sushi experience or the very best in European cuisine…

The shopping at Atlantis is second only to that on Rodeo Drive or Madison Avenue – you can pick up anything and everything from the very latest designer clothing to unique eclectic collectibles, children’s toys or jewelry for example…alternatively the range of sporting and leisure activities at Atlantis are quite literally second to none. 

You can swim, snorkel, dive, sail, work out, go for a run, play basketball or volleyball, or tennis, you can take classes with a personal trainer, swim with dolphins, explore The Bahamas and Nassau, play at the huge lagoon side casino or indulge in one of the finest spas in the world.

This is a condo hotel ownership option like no other and to learn more about it check out The Residences at Atlantis website.

A private and previously uninhabited stunning islet in the British Virgin Islands has been bought up and is in the process of being transformed into the very latest luxurious Caribbean retreat.

So for you today we’re featuring British Virgin Islands marina and spa property at the Mainsail resort where tropical Caribbean charm meets contemporary comfortable chic within the ultimate five star holiday resort.

Mainsail Marina and Spa is the intimate yet undeniably grand resort development under construction and rapidly taking shape on Scrub Island off the coast of Tortola in the BVI - within this elite tourism retreat there are some inimitable real estate opportunities my dear property connoisseurs, and so we couldn’t overlook them even if you are tired of the amount of amazing homes that we keep highlighting for you!

The British Virgin Islands have been described as paradise on earth with Conde Nast Traveler promoting the healing and therapeutic nature of the Caribbean location because it is a ‘less is more’ retreat where one can truly escape from the stresses and strains of our lives and the expectations we have of ourselves and that others have of us.

If this sounds like the kind of place you’d like to vacation to truly get away from it all then the Mainsail resort will be for you – alternatively if you want to dip in to such an escapist lifestyle whenever the mood takes you, you should look at the British Virgin Islands marina and spa property for sale at Mainsail.

The real estate for sale is state of the art, luxurious and yet the units are few in number - therefore if you want to get your hands on some BVI property you’d better move fast!  Still available for sale at the time of writing are both two and five bedroom ocean front residences.  All properties are finished and furnished to the highest contemporary standards with natural materials such as teak, granite, marble and natural stone widely used throughout.

The homes for sale are spacious, all feature stunning Caribbean Ocean views and have vast, open outdoor terraces, verandahs or balconies from which residents can enjoy the views, the sunshine, the lifestyle and the ambience. 

Within the resort itself there will be an array of activities and features to delight Mainsail tourism guests as well as residents of the properties for sale.  There will be fine and exclusive wining and dining, sailing, diving, snorkeling and sunbathing and then there will be a whole array of spa treats and relaxation packages as well.

Check out the Mainsail website for more information about the resort, the location, the real estate and the current opportunity to get your hands on some British Virgin Islands marina and spa property while the availability still exists and while the price is still right.

Just when you thought we’d exhausted all the amazing property developments in the entire Caribbean region we go and find you just one more irresistible real estate temptation!  And in fact, this one’s on a private island called Royal Island in the Bahamas – so it doesn’t actually come much better than this if the truth be told. 

Royal Island is just a 4 mile hop from Eleuthera, it’s a mere 50 mile excursion from Nassau and Miami is close by located roughly 190 miles to the west meaning it’s exotic whilst remaining accessible – essential as we all lead such busy lives and we can’t spend days travelling to our little Caribbean bolt hole now can we?  The property development we’re showcasing is the Royal Island Bahamas Caribbean Resort which claims to be the most amenities packed and exclusive development anywhere in the Bahamas – so naturally we had to take a closer look.

And when you do take a closer look at the master plan for this exclusive community you can see that yes, there really has been a great deal of emphasis placed on the creation of a desirable location which will feature every conceivable leisure and pleasure type activity for residents and hotel guests. 

I suppose that makes sense really - because up until now, stunning Royal Island was uninhabited, undeveloped and therefore offered nothing more than sun, sea and sand to passers by.

Once Royal Island Bahamas has been completed in a few years time the Caribbean resort will be home to private and exclusive beach front residences, a boutique hotel, a large marina, a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course (blimey, he keeps himself busy doesn’t he), a superior spa and fitness facility, a theatre, tennis courts, fine wining and dining experiences in a variety of settings, beach club, golf club, kids’ club, marina village which will include sidewalk cafes, shops, a business centre, medical centre as well as the necessary customs and immigration for the harbour, a watercraft fleet from jet skis to yachts that you can hire, wireless internet access throughout the resort and the superior Royal Island Concierge Service which can provide you with anything you want whenever you want it - such a bold promise, you’re going to have to test them out I fear.

Anyway, this is luxury living at its very best.  At Royal Island Bahamas Caribbean Resort you’re going to be able to bag yourself an ocean front mansion and live among like minded (and moneyed) people, soak up the stunning sunshine and the inimitably affluent air and be entertained and pampered every minute of every day of your stay.  Then, when all that opulence gets too much you can nip over to Eleuthera, hop on your private jet, fly back to your hectic life and have the management team at Royal Island maintain your property perfectly - or even let it out for you if you want to raise an income from it.

This is a property development for the well healed - and so of course we’re just on our way out to bag ourselves a mansion before they’re all snaffled up by the glitterati and royalty…and if you’d care to join us you can register your interest in a property via the Royal Island Bahamas’ website (which also has lots of pretty pictures on it!)

The construction of a brand new Caribbean facing property development is well underway in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, it offers those seeking an affordable way to buy a luxurious property an attractive investment property and holiday home solution in one. 

You can now buy one of the resort properties for sale at the Buccament Bay Beach Resort and holiday in it for up to one month a year whilst earning guaranteed rental income from your elegant resort property in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the rest of the year – how nifty is that?

The Buccament Bay Beach Resort perfectly represents a relatively new and increasingly popular concept in second home ownership whereby an owner buys a property which they and their family are entitled to use for part of the year, and they then sit back and allow the resort’s rental and management divisions to maintain and lease their property out for the rest of the year to earn them an income from it.

At this particular elegant beach resort in St. Vincent and the Grenadines the guaranteed return is 10% for the first two years and then 50% of a property’s rental rate thereafter, and in terms of the property you can buy – wow, what a fantastic choice you have.

You can buy studios, 1 or 2 bedroom apartment suites, penthouses, cabanas or 2, 3 and 4 bedroom resort villas for example.  Some of the properties come with plunge pools, all are built to meet five start hotel grade specifications and residents or visitors to each property have complete access to all the delights, facilities and amenities of the resort.  These include swimming pools, a casino, a spa, premier concierge services, restaurants, bars, conference and business facilities, tennis courts, a dive centre, golf and sailing…

If this sounds like the resort for you, and the concept of owning a holiday home and an investment property that comes with guarantees sounds like the kind of opportunity you’ve always dreamed of then check out http://www.buccamentbaybeachresort.com/ for complete details of how it works, what it costs and what the perceived benefits are.

I suppose if you could have it all you’d opt for a stunning detached villa home in an exotic Caribbean setting with beach and swimming pool access, resort facilities on tap, various payment, management, investment and ownership options oh, and possibly sea and sunset views?  And what if we could throw in a lovely lake and some walking trails as well?

Sigh…okay, well, you know your wish is our command and so here for your delight today are lakeside Caribbean resort homes in Barbados – they really can and do offer the most discerning (and fussy) buyer the best of all worlds!

The development is called The Lakes Barbados and it is a low density resort development that offers buyers the chance to choose from a variety of high standard villa or apartment residences that they can buy outright, buy a lifetime lease on or pool resources with other investors and buy a property and rent it out through the development’s management team for pure income and profit.

The buyers who have committed to these lakeside Caribbean resort homes in Barbados already come from a variety of backgrounds and have bought for a variety of reasons.  Some will be moving lock, stock and barrel to the Caribbean, others are planning their retirement in Barbados.  Some are looking for a ‘lock up and leave’ property option as a holiday home and some have decided to buy into this extra special property development in Barbados now, and enjoy both capital appreciation and rental income.

Whatever sort of approach suits you, you’ll find the right payment, management and ownership option available at The Lakes Barbados.

Home owners have complete access to all of the delights of the resort that surrounds their property.  There’s a gym, sauna, tennis courts, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, sunbathing decks, children’s play areas, health facilities, shopping centre and clubhouse onsite and if you walk away from the resort you’re immediately on the beach or you can swim in the warm, clear waters of the Caribbean if you prefer.

This development really does seem to offer everything your heart could possibly desire and so if you’re ready to make a purchase decision (or you just want to be nosey!) check out http://www.thelakescaribbean.com/ and tantalise your property taste buds.

Imagine if you could own your very own five star villa on an almost deserted Caribbean island; your ideal sumptuous Caribbean home would likely be surrounded by lush rainforest gardens, have its own infinity pool, be a stones throw away from palm fringed, white sandy beaches and the stunning clear aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea and of course it would be within a resort community that would offer you the delights of a spa, restaurants, tennis courts, fitness centre and beach front bars for example…but it would cost well over any modest budget and be out of reach for us normal folks right?

Wrong!  Let us introduce you to a sumptuous Caribbean home you can afford in Grenada.  The Bacolet Bay Resort and Spa in Grenada is an incredibly luxurious new development of buy-to-let properties that you can invest in, enjoy for four weeks a year and then generate an income from as your home is let out to the Bacolet Bay’s paying guests and visitors.  Sounds like the perfect solution?  Believe us, it is!

Grenada is one of the lesser explored and developed Caribbean islands – okay, so we exaggerated a little when we said it’s almost deserted but it is pristine and planning and construction density laws are so rigid and only allow for low density and low rise construction meaning that the island retains its natural beauty and charm.

The island of Grenada has mountains, rainforests, waterfalls and deserted beaches and is the perfect spot for that ideal Caribbean holiday.  Which is why the Bacolet Bay concept is such a fantastic one.  The developers behind the project are creating cottages, villas and condominiums that all form part of the main hotel but which can be owned by the likes of you and me, we can holiday in our home for four weeks a year as mentioned and then the property is taken over and managed and maintained by the resort and used as part of the accommodation options on offer to guests coming on holiday to Grenada.

This is a chance for anyone to buy the most inimitable holiday home in the sun within a resort that has 41 acres of gardens, 200 meters of pure white sandy beach and direct access to a secluded bay – and what’s more, it’s a chance to buy a fantastic income generating, capital appreciating property asset.  One bedroom villas start from just GBP 207,200 or you could upgrade to a luxury cliff top home in its own expansive and private grounds for 1.2 million pounds?  Check out the Bacolet Bay website for all the information - http://www.bacoletbay.com/

Forming the first stage of his ten year masterplan to develop an extensive and luxurious golf, beach and estate community within the Cap Cana resort in the Dominican Republic, Donald Trump is launching Farallon Estates this spring. 

Each of the Farallon Estates from Trump at Cap Cana will of course be for sale on a first come first served basis and demand is expected to far outstrip supply, so you will need to move extremely quickly if you want to own a piece of unique Caribbean real estate in a never to be repeated, uber-luxurious community in one of the most stunning locations in the whole world.

According to the CapCana.com website there will be 71 Farallon Estates from Trump at Cap Cana - although other sources have suggested this figure will be revised down to 68 estates when the land is parcelised prior to sales launch. 

The expanse of land available depending on the estate chosen will extend from between one and a half to almost six acres, and because each estate is set atop Punta Espada Farallon which is an amazing cliff overlooking beautiful Cap Cana and its beaches, golf courses, casinos and hotels, residents will have unobstructed, uninterrupted and incredible views from their rolling Caribbean gated estate.

The average estate will be for sale from USD 3.8 million and all estate owners will have an exclusive membership of Farallon included in the price.  Cap Cana really is ‘the’ place to own property in the Caribbean right at the moment as billions of dollars are being ploughed into the development of this exclusive community.

The greater Cap Cana community will include casinos, three Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses, an inland marina capable of housing super yachts, country clubs, hotels, beaches, exclusive shopping – and at the end of the ambitious development phase, Cap Cana will be a fully integrated luxury community in the Caribbean.  By buying in now you are bound to be securing yourself one heck of a good investment!

There are about a billion disclaimers and warnings all over the associated websites that prevent anyone from linking to them so you’re going to have to hunt around on the internet for Farallon Estate from Trump at Cap Cana to find the official sales sites and get your name and deposit down for a large slice of Caribbean country!

Exclusive development rights to Dellis Cay, a private 560 acre island in the Caribbean Sea forming part of the stunning Turks and Caicos archipelago have been acquired by the inimitable O Property Group; and the island is currently being transformed into a paradise island retreat for the discerning (and seriously rich) few who want to benefit from luxurious private Caribbean island villas at Dellis Cay.

A collection of the most highly acclaimed architects in the world have been commissioned to create the most urbane development of private villa properties currently available anywhere in the world; their unrivalled talents will combine with the superior hospitality qualities of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group within the final master planned residential and spa resort community at Dellis Cay. 

When the entire development is complete, Dellis Cay will be one of the most elite and exclusive addresses in the world that you can possibly have…so, we’ll see you there naturally.

The villa designs available reflect the individual style of the architect assigned to the project in question. 

Beach and over-water-villas are being created by Tokyo based architect and artist Shigeru Ban who is world renowned for his use of light, texture and innovative materials.  Shore villas on a natural peninsula on Dellis Cay will be created by David Chipperfield and his aim is to make the most of the unique views that these properties will have across both still, crystal clear waters and verdant mangroves.

Another unique to the Caribbean collection of over-water-villas will be created from the design talents of Carl Ettensperger who will seek to embrace the natural contours of the coast along which the properties will be created whilst making the most of the incredible and priceless unobstructed views of the Caribbean Ocean that each home will benefit from. Zaha Hadid has an even more significant task and will be overseeing not just the creation of marina properties but the design and completion of restaurants, boutiques, beachfront villas and the marina at Dellis Cay.

Spa villas and the entire 30,000 square foot exclusive Spa at Mandarin Oriental Dellis Cay are the project belonging to Kengo Kuma with the architecture set to compliment the natural surroundings, embracing the sea and still waters around the island as well as incorporating the holistic approach to wellbeing that the Spa will encourage.  And finally, Piero Lissoni is creating beach and ocean villas like the one pictured which offer expansive living space, contemporary styled architecture, the most exclusive and exquisite fixtures and fittings, sprawling outdoor living areas which incorporate a swimming pool, pool house and barbeque area.

Overseeing the provision of exclusive services, amenities and facilities to the discerning and privacy seeking residents of Dellis Cay, Mandarin Oriental will provide, maintain and manage everything.  There will be a helipad, medical clinic, gourmet shop, private beaches, secluded gardens, promenade, bird sanctuary, nature reserve, scuba, snorkeling, fishing, yacht charter service, tennis, cricket, volley and basket ball, multiple dining, reclining and wining options, and of course the spa which also includes an expansive fitness centre.  Phew.  And the price tag…well, you know the rules, if you have to ask you can’t afford…check out the Dellis Cay website and indulge all your wildest property fantasies - http://www.DellisCay.com – this is one place in the world where we really could see ourselves being quite at home!
