2. Bonds Cay ($30,000,000)


Link to original listing

  • Location: Berry Islands
  • Size: 650 acres
  • Description: Approx. 37 mi NW of Nassau, near Great Harbour Cay
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Bonds Cay is one of the largest private-island opportunities currently available in the Bahamas. Set in the southern Berry Islands near Great Harbour Cay, the island extends to approximately 650 acres and offers rare scale, deep-water frontage and a remarkable backstory.

In 2006, the cay was reportedly purchased by a group of music stars including Shakira, Roger Waters, Alejandro Sanz and Miguel Bosé, with the idea of creating a carbon-neutral artists’ retreat. That vision never fully materialised, leaving the island largely raw and ready for its next chapter.

Today, Bonds Cay remains mostly undeveloped, with only a handful of glamping-style bungalows and a beach bar along the shore. The wider island is still a vast blank canvas, suited to a private estate, eco-retreat or high-end resort concept, subject to the usual approvals.

Located around 37 mi NW of Nassau and close to Great Harbour Cay’s airport and marina, Bonds Cay combines genuine privacy with practical access. For a buyer seeking scale, story and long-term development potential in the Berry Islands, it is one of the Bahamas’ most distinctive private-island canvases.


3. Island Oasis ($15,900,000)


Link to original listing

  • Size: 5 acres
  • Description: Approx. 1.5 km from Green Turtle Cay, around 280 km NW of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Island Oasis is a modern turnkey private cay near Green Turtle Cay in the northern Abacos. Set on approximately 5 acres and completed around 2021, it offers a rare move-in-ready island estate in one of the Bahamas’ best-loved boating regions.

The main house provides approximately 7,200 square feet of living space, with four ocean-view bedrooms and open interiors flowing onto covered terraces. A separate three-room guest house adds further accommodation, while a waterfront gym, plunge pool and meditation deck create a complete private retreat setting.

Boating access is one of the island’s strongest features. A protected private marina with a substantial breakwater can accommodate vessels up to around 45 feet, making Island Oasis especially practical for owners who want to explore the Abacos by water.

Infrastructure is also unusually strong for a private island. Power is supplied by undersea cable from the mainland grid, with a full standby generator for backup. With multiple sandy beaches, furnished interiors and modern systems already in place, Island Oasis is best suited to a buyer seeking comfort, privacy and immediate usability rather than a long development project.


4. Crab Cay ($14,950,000)


Link to original listing

  • Location: Abaco
  • Size: 185.3 acres
  • Description: Approx. 4 km N of Green Turtle Cay, around 160 km NNW of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Undeveloped
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Crab Cay is a substantial undeveloped private island in the northern Abacos, set just around 4 km N of Green Turtle Cay. Extending to approximately 185.3 acres, it offers rare scale, elevation and development potential in one of the Bahamas’ most established boating regions.

The island remains untouched, with a series of elevated homesites offering sweeping views across the Sea of Abaco. Its size and terrain make it well suited to a private estate, family compound or boutique resort concept, subject to the usual approvals.

One of Crab Cay’s strongest advantages is its proximity to Green Turtle Cay, a well-loved and serviced Abaco settlement. This makes shore power and mains water more feasible than on many raw Bahamian cays of similar size, giving the island a practical edge for future development.

The surrounding waters offer excellent cruising, fishing and access to the wider Abaco island chain, while Treasure Cay’s airport lies within easy reach. Recently repriced from earlier higher asking figures, Crab Cay now presents notable value for its acreage, location and long-term potential.


5. Serenity Island ($13,750,000)


Link to original listing

  • Location: Abaco, North Abaco, near Coopers Town
  • Size: 40 acres
  • Description: Off North Abaco, around 290 km N of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Serenity Island is a developed private retreat off North Abaco, offering approximately 40 acres between two very different seascapes. One side faces the calm, protected Sea of Abaco, while the other opens toward the Atlantic surf, giving the island a rare mix of sheltered water and ocean exposure.

The main residence provides around 3,200 square feet of single-storey living space, with four bedrooms and two kitchens arranged in relaxed ranch-style comfort. Separate staff quarters add useful support for longer stays, guests or island management.

A natural high point known as the “crow’s nest” offers 360-degree views across the island, sea and surrounding Abaco landscape. This is not a raw development site, but an island already lived in and loved, with a practical residential base in place.

Located near Coopers Town, with private airstrips and international airport access within reach, Serenity Island is well positioned for boating, diving, fishing and quiet family use. Around 180 mi N of Nassau, it is best suited to a buyer seeking a genuine, unpretentious island home between the reef, the Sea of Abaco and the open Atlantic.

  • Map: See on Google Earth

Middle Cay is one of the most complete small private islands in the Bahamas, set in the channel between North Eleuthera and Harbour Island. Compact at approximately 2 acres, it combines polished development, easy access and a highly desirable position close to some of the country’s best-known beaches.

A working miniature lighthouse marks the shoreline, adding a distinctive touch to the island’s character. The main house is air-conditioned and offers four bedrooms, near-panoramic ocean views and a heated pool, creating a comfortable private base for family use or rental guests.

A separate self-contained three-bedroom guest cottage adds further accommodation, while two private docks, including one with an automatic boat lift, make boating simple. The island also includes a walkway around the full perimeter, fire pit, beach volleyball court, kayaks and fishing gear.

Access is exceptionally easy, with Three Island Dock around 2 min away by boat, Harbour Island’s Pink Sands Beach about 5 min away, and North Eleuthera Airport close at hand.

7. Powell Cay ($7,950,000)

  • Description: Approx. 5 km NE of Coopers Town, around 290 km NNW of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Undeveloped
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Powell Cay is one of the strongest raw island opportunities in the northern Abacos, offering extraordinary beach frontage, privacy and protected surroundings. The island covers approximately 294 acres in total, with the northern 122 acres held as private freehold and offered for sale.

The developable northern section is wrapped in nearly four and a half miles of powder-white beach, giving the property more than 22,000 linear feet of shoreline. Undeveloped and pristine, it offers a natural canvas for a grand private retreat, family compound or boutique resort concept, subject to approvals.

The southern part of Powell Cay is Crown-owned and earmarked as a nature reserve, meaning the freehold portion benefits from protected wilderness as its neighbour rather than future private development. This gives the island a particularly strong sense of long-term seclusion.

Set in the sheltered Sea of Abaco between Spanish Cay and Manjack Cay, Powell Cay lies around 3 mi NE of Coopers Town, with Marsh Harbour’s airport within reach and Nassau a short flight south. For a buyer drawn to endless beach, scale and guaranteed privacy, Powell Cay is a standout northern-Abaco opportunity.

Gold Ring Cay is a compact private island in the central Exumas, close to Great Guana Cay, Staniel Cay and Black Point. Extending to approximately 7.05 acres, it offers a manageable freehold island canvas in one of the Bahamas’ most desirable cruising regions.

The island is currently undeveloped and marketed as three building lots, giving a buyer flexibility for a private compound, family retreat or small-scale island development, subject to approvals. White-sand beaches, shallow turquoise water and classic Exuma views frame the property.

Its most compelling natural feature is a deep-water canal cutting into the island. This creates the foundation for a protected private harbour or marina-style landing, giving Gold Ring Cay a practical advantage over many small undeveloped cays.

Staniel Cay’s airstrip, the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto and the wider Exuma yacht scene are all close by, while Black Point Settlement provides the nearest local community. Located around 75–85 mi SE of Nassau, Gold Ring Cay is best suited to a buyer seeking an attainable Exuma island with rare natural harbour potential already built into its shape.

  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Undeveloped
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Sandy Cay at West End is one of the Bahamas’ most accessible raw private islands, lying closer to the Florida coast than to Nassau. Set just off West End, the westernmost tip of Grand Bahama, the cay sits around 56 mi E of Palm Beach and offers a rare beach-island canvas within easy reach of South Florida.

The island extends to approximately 6–7 acres, with coral-white sand, low coral-rock terrain and mature palms. Free of marsh and mangrove, it presents as a clean, undeveloped beach cay ringed by bright shoreline and clear Bahamian water.

Its strongest advantage is location. Old Bahama Bay at West End, with marina facilities, customs, fuel and nearby air access, lies only minutes away, making logistics far easier than on many more remote Bahamian cays.

For a buyer seeking an untouched beach island to shape from scratch, Sandy Cay offers unusual accessibility, simple natural beauty and a strong Florida-facing position. Raw, bright and easy to reach, it is a compelling Grand Bahama opportunity for private use or a carefully planned island retreat.

  • Map: See on Google Earth

High Cay is a remote private island off the southeast coast of San Salvador, set in some of the clearest waters of the eastern Bahamas. Extending to approximately 31 acres, it offers the feel of a true blank canvas while already carrying an important head start for future development.

The island is currently undeveloped, but key preparation work has been completed. Environmental approvals and architectural plans are in place, including approval to open the inland pond to the sea and plans for villas with dock access.

San Salvador is one of the quieter and less-crowded islands in the Bahamas, known for diving, big-game fishing and its long association with Columbus’s first landfall in the New World. Its international airport gives the island practical access despite the remote setting.

Located around 400 mi SE of Nassau, High Cay is best suited to a buyer seeking privacy, nature and a ready-to-build island project far from the busier Bahamian hubs. With approvals already secured, it offers genuine remoteness without starting entirely from zero.


12. Strangers Cay Private Island ($3,100,000)


Link to original listing

  • Size: 35 acres

  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

At the northern edge of the Bahamas, in the wild Abaco Cays just south of Strangers Cay, this 35-acre private island offers a pure blank canvas. Remote, natural and undeveloped, it sits in one of the country’s least crowded island regions, closer in feel to Florida than to Nassau.

The island is raw and untouched, with empty beaches, clear flats and surrounding waters known for fishing, boating and exploring. With no existing development to work around, it offers the freedom to shape a private family retreat, fishing base or low-impact island escape from the ground up.

The listing also notes natural potential to create a private marina, subject to approvals, giving the island an added practical advantage for a boating-focused owner. Access today is by boat, or by private flight into nearby airstrips at Walker’s Cay or Spanish Cay.

Located just S of Strangers Cay and around 24 mi E of Walker’s Cay, this unnamed northern-Abaco island is best suited to a buyer drawn to genuine remoteness, privacy and long-term potential.

Link to original listing

  • Location: Andros, off Mangrove Cay
  • Size: 3 acres
  • Description: Approx. 1km off Mangrove Cay, around 5 km from Clarence A. Bain Airport
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Swain’s Cay offers something increasingly rare in the Bahamas: a whole private island with a house already standing, priced closer to a modest mainland home than a trophy cay. Set just 900 ft off the eastern shore of Mangrove Cay, in the quiet waters of Andros, it provides an unusually attainable route into Out Island ownership.

The cay extends to approximately 3 acres and includes a compact two-bedroom house. The building needs repair and updating, but remodel plans are already prepared, giving a buyer a clear starting point rather than a completely raw island project.

Supporting infrastructure includes two large rainwater cisterns, a small private dock and a little beach on the eastern side of the island. These features make Swain’s Cay practical for a buyer willing to take on a manageable restoration.

Andros is the largest and wildest island in the Bahamas, known for bonefishing, blue holes and quiet natural beauty. Clarence A. Bain Airport on Mangrove Cay is around 3 mi away, with Nassau only a short flight beyond. For a buyer seeking a real private island without a seven-figure budget, and who does not mind some work, Swain’s Cay is a compelling and unusually accessible opportunity.


14. Low Cay ($1,100,000)


Link to original listing

  • Location: San Salvador, southeast coast
  • Size: 24.69 acres
  • Description: Off San Salvador’s SE point, around 515 km SE of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Undeveloped
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Low Cay sits in the clear Atlantic waters off San Salvador, one of the least-visited and most beautiful islands in the Bahamas. Positioned at the head of a celebrated chain of reefs and shipwrecks, it offers a rare private-island opportunity in a region especially valued by divers, anglers and adventurous boaters.

The island extends to approximately 24.69 acres and remains completely undeveloped. Rising gently to around 11 ft, it provides a natural blank canvas for a private compound, with potential space for a main house, guest cottages and staff quarters, subject to the usual approvals.

San Salvador adds both history and access. Long associated with Columbus’s first New World landfall, the island has its own international airport capable of receiving larger aircraft, with flight connections from Miami, Montreal and Paris.

Cockburn Town and local services are within reach by boat, while Nassau lies approximately 320 mi to the northwest. For a buyer who values seclusion, world-class diving and genuine distance from the busier Bahamian hubs, Low Cay is a rare eastern-Bahamas find.


15. Hawk’s Nest Cay, Cat Island ($995,000)


Link to original listing

  • Size: 25 acres
  • Description: Across the creek from Hawk’s Nest Marina, around 209 km SE of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Undeveloped
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Hawk’s Nest Cay offers something increasingly rare in the Bahamas: an entire private island priced below the usual trophy-island level. Set at the southern tip of Cat Island, near Old Bight, the island extends to approximately 25 acres of undeveloped land with strong natural and boating appeal.

The cay sits just across a deep, protected creek from Hawk’s Nest Resort & Marina. This gives the property unusually convenient access to nearby infrastructure, including a 28-slip harbour, clubhouse and 4,900-foot private airstrip, without requiring the buyer to build everything from scratch.

The creek itself offers potential for a substantial private dock, subject to approvals, making the island especially attractive for a boating-focused owner. The surrounding setting is classic Cat Island: quiet water, low development pressure and the unspoilt feel of the Bahamian Out Islands.

Located around 130 mi SE of Nassau, Cat Island is known for its authenticity, empty beaches and relaxed pace. For a buyer seeking a whole private island with deep-water access, nearby marina support and strong value compared with larger Bahamas listings, Hawk’s Nest Cay is a compelling under-the-radar opportunity.


16. Ben’s Cay ($600,000)


Link to original listing

  • Location: Jumentos Cays
  • Size: 12 acres
  • Description: Approx. 15 km S of Ragged Island, around 485+ km SE of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Ben’s Cay is a true castaway private island in the remote Jumentos Cays and Ragged Island chain, about as far from the crowds as the Bahamas can take you. Set roughly 10 mi S of Duncan Town on Ragged Island, the cay offers 12 acres of raw, faraway freehold land.

The island rises to around 35 ft and remains almost entirely undeveloped, with deep-water boat access, rough-cut tracks and a small storage shed. Beyond that, it is a blank canvas for a buyer who values solitude, fishing, diving and adventure over ready-made comfort.

The surrounding waters are among the Bahamas’ most remote and least disturbed, known to sailors, bonefishers and explorers who prefer quiet anchorages and wild cruising grounds. This is not a polished resort island, but a genuine off-grid escape for someone who wants space, privacy and distance.

Access is by boat or charter, with Ragged Island’s airstrip the nearest aviation link and George Town or Nassau serving as onward gateways. Priced within reach of an ordinary home, Ben’s Cay is one of the more affordable whole private islands in the Bahamas, and a rare opportunity for the genuinely intrepid buyer.

Sanctuary Cay and Mini Cay offer a rare two-island holding just off the southeastern end of Norman’s Cay in the northern Exumas. Offered together as a single portfolio, the pair provides approximately 5.71 acres of pristine, undeveloped island land.

Both cays remain natural and untouched, with white sand, low tropical greenery and clear surrounding water. The combination creates a flexible blank canvas for a private hideaway, family retreat or low-impact island compound, with one cay potentially serving as the main base and the other as a guest or beach islet.

The location is the strongest part of the offering. Norman’s Cay’s 5,000-foot international runway and marina sit less than 1 mi away, making access, supplies and guest arrivals unusually straightforward for a private Exuma holding.

Located around 55 mi SE of Nassau, Sanctuary & Mini Cay sit at the gateway to the Exuma Cays and the Exuma Land and Sea Park. For a buyer who values both privacy and convenience, this two-cay package offers an attainable and flexible way into one of the Bahamas’ most desirable island chains.

At the heart of the property stands a 7,200-square-foot adobe-style main villa, designed for relaxed but substantial island living. It sleeps up to 16 guests across five bedrooms and includes hand-painted ceilings, an infinity pool, a 16-seat cinema and a grand piano in the great room.

Two guest cottages and a private limestone marina complete the main compound, while a full staff village and warehouse support the estate behind the scenes.

  • Location: North Eleuthera
  • Size: 6 acres
  • Description: Minutes by boat from Spanish Wells, around 80 km NE of Nassau
  • Ownership: Freehold
  • Development: Developed
  • Map: See on Google Earth

Sawyer’s Cay is a small but well-positioned private island in the sheltered waters between Russell Island and Royal Island, just minutes by boat from Spanish Wells. At approximately 6 acres, it offers a manageable entry into North Eleuthera island ownership without the scale or cost of a major resort cay.

The island is partially developed, with an existing traditional island home in need of restoration and a private wharf already in place. This gives a buyer a practical starting point for creating a private retreat, family getaway or low-key island compound.

What sets Sawyer’s Cay apart is its infrastructure. The island is connected to the Spanish Wells electricity grid and has access to water, avoiding some of the off-grid engineering challenges that many Bahamian cays require.

The surrounding location is highly attractive, with reefs, flats, boating channels and the pink-sand beaches of North Eleuthera close by. Harbour Island is a short cruise away, and North Eleuthera Airport offers daily flight connections to Nassau and the United States. For a buyer seeking a genuine private cay in a strong location without a mega-budget, Sawyer’s Cay is a compact and compelling opportunity.
