Windermere An idyllic and lush Bahamian out-island surrounded by pink sands and turquoise subtropical waters, Windermere Island is just 200 miles off Florida’s Gold Coast. 

The new Windermere Island Club project consists of 52 breathtaking residential lots – each approximately two acres, with 300 linear feet of beach frontage – on the northern third of the six mile long isle. Lushly canopied with multi-colored mangroves, sea grapes, and silver thatch palms, half the parcels face eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, while the west-facing parcels look out on the tranquil waters of Savannah Sound.

22 of Windermere’s residential parcels have already been sold, with completion of the first two homes expected by year’s end. For more than 50 years, Windermere’s extraordinary beauty, simple accessibility, and absolute seclusion have made it a cherished destination for royalty, dignitaries, and celebrities alike. 

Windermere is connected to larger neighbor Eleuthera Island via a short gated bridge, with a “24/7/365 friendly gate keeper” limitingaccess solely to residents and guests. 

Governor’s Harbour (GBH) to the north and Rock Sound (RSD)
to the south both boast 8000-foot runways – and both are within
half an hour’s drive of Windermere. Rock Sound offers scheduled connections through Nassau and Exuma, while Governor’s Harbour also has direct flights to and from Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Both airports accommodate private jets. 

About three miles south of the new residential estates lies the famedWindermere Island Club: a grand dame of 20th century beach clubs on five-plus ocean front acres which, until the club’s closure in 1992, served as the hub of the island’s prestigious social life. With nineteen guest rooms and 30,000 sq ft of support facilities, this opportunity could quickly redefine ‘chic boutique’ in the Bahamas.

The groundwork of permitting and titling the Club’s renovation has already been accomplished, and thanks to the project’s dedicated construction team, the threat of uncapped building costs has been virtually eliminated. 

The Windermere project team brings with it a billion dollars’ worth of combined Bahamian experience, with the invaluable assurance, things will get be done properly, on time and in budget.
