Bimini

Just 49 miles east of Miami, Bimini is The Bahamas’ closest point to the U.S. Its two main islands—North and South Bimini—are reached via flights to South Bimini, followed by a short ferry ride. Famous for Hemingway’s legacy and Atlantis lore, Bimini boasts pristine beaches teeming with blue marlin and dolphins.

The 750-acre Resorts World Bimini offers luxury amenities, including fine dining and a casino, while Bimini Bay provides investment opportunities through beachfront homes. Upscale Rockwell Island features designer estates, and Bimini Cove Resort caters to yachters with a 137-slip marina. With its thriving sportfishing scene and proximity to Florida, Bimini is ideal for second-home buyers seeking quick U.S. access. New developments are capitalizing on high demand, offering turnkey residences with rental programs for hassle-free ownership.
