Cat Island

Located 130 miles southeast of Nassau near the Tropic of Cancer, Cat Island, named after pirate Arthur Catt, boasts a rich history with ruins of cotton plantations, 1700s slave huts, and Arawak caves. Its crown jewel is The Hermitage, a 1939 medieval-style monastery atop Mt. Alvernia, The Bahamas’ highest point. The island is also the birthplace of Rak ‘n Scrape music, celebrated annually at a vibrant festival.

From an 8-mile pink sand beach to world-class diving, blue holes, and watersports, Cat Island blends natural beauty with adventure. Its vast acreage is ripe for mixed-use development or boutique resorts, offering investors a chance to craft luxury escapes in an untouched Caribbean haven. Whether you’re looking for developable land or an existing property, Cat has unique opportunities to create a private sanctuary or a boutique resort where luxury meets the ultimate Caribbean escape.
