Montage Cay is a private island in the Abacos developed under the Montage Hotels and Resorts brand. It is an ultra-luxury branded residence concept offering a very limited number of whole-ownership properties within a fully managed resort environment. Access is by boat or seaplane only, and the island is designed exclusively for owners and their guests.

What types of property are available on Montage Cay?

Montage Cay offers whole-ownership branded residences within the private island resort. The total number of homes is intentionally small, keeping the ownership group limited and the experience consistent. Properties are managed by Montage Hotels and Resorts, which handles maintenance, staffing, and the resort amenity program on behalf of owners.

How do you access Montage Cay?

Montage Cay is accessible by private boat or seaplane. There is no road or ferry connection to the mainland.

The resort management team typically handles arrival logistics for owners and their guests.

Can non-Bahamians purchase property on Montage Cay?

Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase residential property on Montage Cay under the standard Bahamas foreign ownership rules. Purchases under $500,000 USD require registration with the Bahamas Investments Board after closing. Given the price points at Montage Cay, most transactions will require prior government approval, which applies to purchases at $500,000 USD and above. A local Bahamian attorney handles conveyancing.

What are property taxes like for Montage Cay owners?

The Bahamas has no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. An annual Real Property Tax applies to all properties. Owner-occupied homes valued up to $300,000 USD are exempt. Values between $300,000 and $500,000 USD are taxed at 0.625%, and amounts above $500,000 USD are taxed at 1% on the excess. Properties at Montage Cay will generally fall into the upper tier. Owners should also confirm any applicable resort management fees and HOA-equivalent costs with the developer before closing.
