Life Along the Canals

For centuries, Venice, Italy, carried the nickname “La Serenissima,” the most serene, for its peaceful look and harmonious diplomatic relations. Sandyport exudes this same serenity – the kind only a place built entirely on water can do!  

This enviable, 144-acre community on the west side of New Providence features charming Venetian-style canals. The homes here are integrated with the water through a maze of waterways that lead to every house.  

Sandyport was named after Sandy and Hugh Buckner, who worked with an architect to build the community in 1988. The Buckners were motivated by their vision to transform a swamp into a charming village that would reflect the unique character and history of the Bahamas. 

The 600 inviting, Georgian-style pastel homes within Sandyport create a cozy and warm neighborhood. The community strikes the right mix of privacy vs. friendliness, nature vs. amenities, and character vs. modernity. One-bedroom apartments here begin at about USD 300,000, while large mansions can cost several million.

Along the Grand Canal lies the Olde Town Marina Village with open-air boardwalks and facilities that are accessible to the public. The Olde Town offers a host of restaurants, cafes, shops, an excellent gym, a salon, a marina store, a gas station, clinics, a bank, a post office, and a church.

Sandyport is very family-friendly, boasting an international school, seven community swimming pools, six tennis courts, a basketball court, three playgrounds for kids, and round-the-clock security. Two stunning white sand beaches – Sandyport Beach and Cable Beach – are within walking distance. Sandyport is within easy reach of all the amenities you need, including theatres, shopping, and restaurants.

Safe, colorful, and well-equipped, Sandyport will put a smile on your face. It offers the full package for anyone looking for an upscale residence in the Bahamas.
