Information about buying islands in the Caribbean

With its laidback lifestyle and friendly people, the Caribbean represents the ideal when we think of chucking our days jobs and buying a tropical island hideaway. If that job pays well, you’re closer than most in realizing private island ownership in the Caribbean. Freehold islands are rare in the Caribbean, except in the Bahamas. That rarity is reflected in the premium price tags of the Bahamas – most islands cost at least one million dollars. But the Bahamas aren’t the only game in town; the Caribbean region includes places as far north as Bermuda right down to southerly Tobago. The close proximity of island territories to each other makes the region a sailing haven… land is never too far out of sight when sailing the Caribbean.

This Caribbean’s volcanic past left behind a lush and fertile archipelago of over 7000 islands. The lava has subsided for the most part, but the region can still be volatile when it comes to hurricanes and storms. Bad weather aside, it’s the region’s spectacular climate that draws island buyers. The Caribbean is quite accessible to many parts of the world and provides a warm weather escape when most of the western world is shivering indoors. Each Caribbean territory has its own particular remnant of colonial influence - the British might prefer Barbados and the Dutch may like to buy islands in the Antilles. Each island nation has region specific requirements for real estate transactions. Non-residents of the British Virgin Islands and Anguilla require special licenses in order to purchase property. These licenses may also include a background check and a police reference. Patience is in order when purchasing private island property in the Caribbean.
