Caribbean
 |
The
Caribbean Islands are the epitome of luxury, romance
and excitement.
From the Bahamas in the north to Barbados in the south the fantastic
climate, beautiful beaches and crystal clear, warm seas offer
an unparalleled investment opportunity. The Caribbean offers
all year round rental demand and excellent capital growth potential.
|
|
The comparatively small land masses
of the islands result in a finite amount of land being available
for building purposes ensuring that demand for quality properties
exceeds supply, with the potential for considerable future capital
gains.
Tourism is now the number one industry in the Caribbean and
with English widely spoken throughout there is great demand
from both American and English tourists for quality accommodation.

Barbados
is the most easterly Caribbean island and is undoubtedly one
of the most popular destinations for British tourists. A sovereign
nation, Barbados, and particularly the capital, Bridgetown,
still has a somewhat English atmosphere emanating from the island's
heritage.
With beautiful beaches, tropical flowers and exotic surroundings,
Barbados also offers more sightseeing attractions than most
other islands.
The warm, friendly, hospitable locals are rightfully proud of
both their country and their culture. |
|
Due west of Barbados to the south
of the Lesser Antilles are St
Vincent and the Grenadines.
St Vincent has enormous potential for growth in tourism; already
popular for day trips from ocean liners, it is a stunningly
beautiful tropical island that will become an idyllic Caribbean
holiday destination.
The new international airport, due to open in 2011, will have
a profound effect on property values. This, coupled with the
fact that the natural topography of the island precludes over-development,
makes investment on the island an excellent choice. |

The 2nd largest Caribbean Island is Hispaniola, part of the
Greater Antilles, comprising of Haiti to the west and the
Dominican Republic
to the east. Approx. 380 km from east to west, the Dominican
Republic boasts a truly varied topography from the highest
mountain in the Caribbean at over 3,000m to the biggest lake
in the Caribbean, from stunning sandy beaches
to crystal clear turquoise seas.
Still one of the lesser developed islands, yet growing in
popularity year on year.
Astute investors are seriously looking at the Dominican Republic
with properties cheaper than many of its rivals in a tax free
environment - no purchase tax, no capital gains tax and no
inheritance tax.

The island of St
Lucia lies just 24 miles north of St Vincent and is 27
miles long and 14 miles wide. With 2 international airports
St Lucia is highly accessible from a variety of locations. Voted
as the World's 4th most beautiful island by the Conde Nast Travel
Awards, it offers the most dramatic of tropical landscapes with
the stunning twin peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton surrounded
by rich woodland. From 2002 - 2004 St Lucia was voted the top
wedding destination and in 2007 the World's leading honeymoon
destination at the World Travel Awards Ceremonies. Property
prices are as much as 65% lower than neighbouring Barbados and
The World Bank recently put St Lucia in the top 30 countries
in the World to invest. |
