Nassau is described as an island metropolis where the ease of the tropics meets the big city. His tropical residence is said to be the perfect luxury spot consisting of water slides, a spa and a championship golf course.

However, Tiger Woods’ home is not the only property consisting of world class luxury amenities in the nation’s capital. Located on Paradise Island, 113 Ocean Club Estates is the epitome of elegance. This crypto-friendly iconic Venetian style palace offers stunning views of Nassau Harbour and was recently renovated by Interior Designer Steven Zelman.

Located 60 miles east of Nassau, Eleuthera and Harbour Island are surrounded by clusters of cays and sandbars. Did you know Lenny Kravitz is a proud Bahamian? With roots from his famous mom, Roxie Roker, who played Helen on the hit sitcom, The Jeffersons, Kravitz has been quoted as saying, “Every day here in the Bahamas is perfect. Whether it’s sunny, it’s raining, it doesn’t matter. It’s always gorgeous here.” He owns a hideaway home, where he retreats to for solace in the ever-beautiful, Eleuthera, where he spent his entire time quarantining while the world was on lockdown.

When it comes to the admiration of Eleuthera & Harbour Island, these islands are also loved by Mariah Carey. Connected to Eleuthera & Harbour Island by a short bridge sits the world famous Windemere Island. Windermere Island is about five and a half miles long and is noted for its beaches and its celebrity visitors, who use it as a private retreat.

Mariah’s luxury beachfront home is complete with a cabana and a stunning pool overlooking the ocean. Beachfront properties are popular on this tranquil island. One in particular that recently went in contract is Unit #34 Windemere Island— a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom beachfront unit located just steps away from the beach, with a tennis court and 24-hour security. This property provides the perfect oasis for those seeking to simply disconnect.
