The Bahamian Riviera

Surrounded by iridescent turquoise water and sugar-soft sand, many of the best properties on New Providence Island are in the west near Love Beach. 

These highly desirable, well-maintained properties are pearls of the New Providence real estate market, comprising a stretch known as the “Bahamian Riviera.” 

West Bay Street and Love Beach have become hot spots for home purchases as well as rentals. There are various developments along Love Beach from small one-bedrooms to condos, townhomes, and luxury homes. Apartments here start at a few hundred thousand and run up to about USD 4 million for penthouses with spectacular ocean views.  Demand in this area is hearty not only because of the proximity to the airport and top amenities but also due to its stunning natural beauty. 

Some of the best beaches on the island are here. For example, Love Beach, which runs for about a mile on the north coast of New Providence, is one of the best snorkeling spots on the island, offering visitors close encounters with exciting marine life. The clear waters near the shore are protected by coral reefs, and the waves that break on the reefs make for pretty good surfing!

Just a 10-minute drive from both the airport and downtown Nassau, the Love Beach area is a perfect base for a permanent home or pied-à-terre. There is an excellent supermarket and just about everything you need can be found within a short drive. These properties can also be lucrative real estate investments with a steady stream of visitors arriving year-round.
