Set at the heart of The Bahamas—less than 30 miles from Nassau in the highly sought after northern chain of the Exuma Cays—lies beautiful Roberts Cay. With its 12 acres of lush green vegetation, two white sandy beaches, a protected harbor, and approximately 32 feet in elevation, this is the perfect island to let your Bahamian imagination run wild and create your own custom private oasis.

The waters of the Exumas are renowned for their dazzling colors, so vibrant they are visible from outer space, and the sea around Roberts Cay is no exception. The clear turquoise sea swirling into darker shades of blue provides a stunning backdrop for both snorkeling on the island's western harbor side and deep-sea fishing for grouper, tuna, and snapper off its eastern side. The island's great protected harbor is perfectly poised for mooring boats or building a dock. Old construction foundations are already in place on the freehold island, which could make for an earlier start to your new building project. Excellent elevations are another perk of the island.

Though secluded, Roberts Cay is also easily accessible. Just about 28 miles to the northwest is the island of New Providence, where you'll find Lynden Pindling International Airport, also known as Nassau International Airport. Just half a mile south from Roberts Cay is Ship Channel Cay, which now serves as a rentable private island retreat. Other islands within close and convenient proximity to Roberts Cay are Norman's Cay, the gorgeous but troubled island that was once a playground for Pablo Escobar; and Highbourne Cay, home to a handful of resort villas and a full-service marina that is a favored outpost of seasoned yachtsmen thanks to its multitude of amenities and its 750 feet of face dock for yachts of up to 180 feet.
