Rich in History and Comfort 

Old Fort is a luxurious community that attracts famous celebrities and has a lot in common with its fancy neighbor Lyford Cay. This well-planned waterfront enclave has 24-hour security and includes an upscale beach club, canals for boats, and monster silk cotton trees that give it a fairytale ambiance reminiscent of Jumanji or Jurassic Park. 

Just like Lyford, Old Fort life mostly revolves around a swanky social hangout – the Old Fort Bay Club – which is sumptuous and full of rich Bahamian heritage. It served as a plantation and a British colonial fort in the late 1700s and was used to control the pirate trade. There are still cannons in the yard as relics of its colorful past. 

Club membership is pricey – the initiation fee alone is USD $75,000, with an annual fee of USD $5,000 per year. This money will get you access to a club with exceptional service, fine dining, an 18-hole golf club, a stunning white sand beach, spa, fitness, pool, daily international newspapers, and a welcoming atmosphere.

However, the club is not the only way to have fun. There are excellent amenities within minutes, including high-quality grocery shops, golf, tennis, nightlife, restaurants, and diving. The Island House is a popular nearby meeting place with a full event calendar, including a film festival and easter egg hunts. Old Fort is only a 25-minute drive from downtown Nassau and 10 minutes from the airport. Residents can send their kids to many top-notch international schools nearby. 

With stunning beachfront homes, a prime location, tasteful antiques, and a tranquil vibe, Old Fort is an alluring mix of old and new. We think you’ll agree that Old Fort is rich in every sense!
