Now, consider this tantalizing pitch from Lonely Planet for enjoying the Bahamas nightlife by way of the capital, Nassau. The party starts with Sunset and continues with Sunrise before charting a course straight through the morning, past lunch.
“Historically a haven for pirates and smugglers…Nassau is the unchallenged nightlife capital of the Bahamas,” reads lonelyplanet.com. “…Freshly cut conch salad and sky juice (a local favorite drink of gin, green coconut water and condensed milk) mingle with bars booming out reggae and rake-and-scrape (the local sound) from 7 p.m. every evening.
“Once your night has started, head back downtown for rum punch and sandy toes at the clapboard bars of Junkanoo Beach, a Black Beer’s Stout at Pirate Republic microbrewery or even a dress-up-nice cocktail at Sky Bar…If you want an early kick off, John Watling’s Distillery—a working rum factory in a gorgeous 18th-century estate—opens at 10 a.m.”
OK—now we’re talking.
For additional guidance on enjoying the nightlife in the capital of the Bahamas, the Daily Mail suggests the Baha Mar’s rooftop lounge, “for a tipple.”
And, the Daily Mail continues, “If you fancy a flutter, you’re in the Vegas of The Bahamas so you can channel your inner James Bond to enjoy a spin of the roulette wheel or a game of poker at one of the casinos on the island.
“Or you could simply dance the night away at one of the many nightclubs, such as Aura at Atlantis Paradise Island or Bond at Baha Mar. Just be ready to get up and do it all again tomorrow…”
Now that it’s impossible to deny how the Bahamas nightlife offers a solid reason for purchasing Bahamas luxury real estate, let’s move on to your catalyst for making all of this happen.
With more than $2B in sales, MCR Bahamas specializes in the sales and rentals of:
- Condos.
- Luxury homes.
- Land, including high-profile lots in exclusive communities and on private islands.
- Waterfront properties.
- Vacant land.
Adding to the urgency of purchasing some Bahamas luxury real estate is what many would agree is some of best weather to be found anywhere on the planet. Who could possibly want to miss out on temperatures that rarely dip below 70 degrees Fahrenheit and often hit 75 during winter afternoons?
The Lonely Planet travel guide details the Bahamas as home to “sapphire waters” and “sun-soaked sands,” as well as “pristine beaches with crystal-clear water lapping at their shores.”
All of this sets the stage for a range of dayside island activities less than 50 nautical miles from coastal Florida.
Home to more than 700 islands, many only accessible by boat, the Bahamas is the destination for snorkeling in underwater caves and among reefs teeming with brilliant marine life. You can also island hop by boat; or swim; or immerse yourself in fly fishing and angling. You can also set out in search of long-lost shipwrecks.
The Bahamas also offers a searing nightlife that will take your passion for partying from dusk and dawn and straight through the morning to lunchtime.
Freshly cut conch, sky juice, bars blaring reggae and rake-and-scrape (the local sound) offer an opportunity to indulge your wild side. Junkanoo Beach, Pirate Republic microbrewery and John Watling’s Distillery—a working rum factory in a gorgeous 18th-century estate that opens at 10 a.m.—are yours for the taking. There is also the Baha Mar’s rooftop lounge for dancing and multiple casinos.
- Tax Neutrality—There is no income tax, sales tax, capital gains taxes or inheritance taxes in the Bahamas.
- High-Quality International Education—The Bahamas is home to prestigious schools offering world-class education to Bahamians and foreign residents alike. The country maintains a near-perfect literacy rate of 98%, which surpasses the U.S. by 10%. Schools like Lyford Cay International School and Lucaya International School offer impressive IB programs and robust educational standards.
Both taxes and schools are important when considering purchasing land and spending a considerable amount of time in a particular location—like the Bahamas.
