©ISTOCKPHOTO.COM / MIKOLAJN A Vacation That Never Ends By Ritika Jain Approximately 760 miles off the coast of Florida sits The Bahamas, which encompasses 700 islands of raw beauty, turquoise waters, white sand and vibrant cays. There is so much to do and see on the vast strip of land that is The Bahamas, which is why it’s not only perfect for a sun-drenched vacation, but also a wonderful and convenient place to live. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices recently expanded its network to The Bahamas, and president and broker Jim Bernard says the luxury market there is booming. “Joining Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has allowed us to effectively compete against the other big brands for listing inventory. We have seen an increase in the property listings we have been able to secure after joining the network,” says Bernard. There are many factors that draw buyers to purchase a home in this tropical paradise, including year-round warm weather, five-star restaurants, BERKSHIREHATHAWAYHS.COM 45

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Bahamas Real Estate sells in several luxury communities — Lyford Cay, Old Fort Bay, Albany, Ocean Club Estates, Harbour Island and the Exumas — each with their own unique charm and set of features. The availability of beaches, exclusive resorts, luxury amenities, and majestic views offered in these areas are unparalleled. “Lyford Cay offers an excellent golf course, beautiful beach club with a swim- ming pool, tennis courts, a large, full-service marina with intricate canal system and sev- eral 5-star restaurants,” begins Bernard. “Old Fort offers a charming clubhouse that was restored from a historic fortified residence built in the 1700s, set on the nicest beach in New Providence, an excellent restaurant, beach bar, and several other amenities.” According to the broker, those looking for the finest amenities should head over to Albany, which features a championship golf course, modern mega-yacht marina, adult and family pools, a range of restaurants, a spa and fitness center, water sports, an equestrian center, and a world-class record- ing studio. Rated the “Crown Jewel of the Caribbean” by Forbes, Harbour Island evokes a dreamy landscape with the infamous, three-mile pink sand beach and original Georgian architecture noted in the pastel-colored buildings, white picket fences, and bougainvillea-draped door frames. The island also boasts Dunmore Town, the original capital of The Bahamas, a charming, oceanfront area that is a bit calmer than other attractive hotspots. The first thing you notice about the Exumas is its dazzling turquoise waters, but it doesn’t end there. “Footprint-free beaches, ultra-exclusive resorts, and tropi- cal islands fit for kings make this paradise an absolute gem. Here, nature outnumbers man, coastlines remain flawless and private homes play host to some of the world’s most famous stars,” says Bernard. Visitors can dive and snorkel at Thunderball Grotto or in the pristine waters of Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, experience world-class fish- ing, and even swim with pigs. If one wishes 46

We have a lot of different options to offer and each client is unique in what they are looking for. Once we understand the life- style the client is looking for, we can use our knowledge and expertise of The Bahamas Real Estate market to find a property that perfectly fits the client’s lifestyle.” The appeal of the Bahamas market extends far past its borders. Luckily, for- eigners who wish to purchase property in the Bahamas aren’t subject to any rules or regulations. However, those who wish to purchase a second home will need to seek Investment Board Approval to acquire the property, according to Bernard. Foreigners also have the option of applying for per- manent residency in The Bahamas, which requires an investment of at least $750,000. Alongside the booming housing mar- ket is the luxury resort market, hosting vaca- tion-goers from colder, bustling climates in search of a heavenly, tropical escape. Resort life in The Bahamas is limitless. Grand resorts like Baha Mar and Atlantis both feature mul- tiple of pools, beautiful beaches, waterparks, a variety of excellent restaurants, large casi- nos, massive aquariums, spas and no short- age of nightlife, says Bernard. There are also smaller, boutique resorts like Kamalame Cay in Andros and The Cove in Eleuthera, which offer a slower pace along with luxury ameni- ties and services. The Bahamas isn’t just any tropical destination. It boasts 5,000 square miles of beautiful beaches, exposed sand bars, and crystal clear waters. The country is built around a marine lifestyle where watersports are unrivaled and underwa- ter experiences are like no other. It is also easily accessible to the U.S. and Canada, which provides a unique convenience for second-home owners. “The ease of travel to and from The Bahamas means that second-home owners enjoy their vacation homes more than they would in other destinations that may not be so easy to travel to,” remarks Bernard.

Luggage Fit for Luxury Pursuits By Lara Becker Have you ever considered pairing your travel bag with a bottle of wine? How about matching it to your car? W hether it’s at baggage claim or on your McLaren’s luggage options include PHOTO COURTESY OF private jet, you want luggage that stands popular favorites such as the Aero MCLAREN AUTOMOTIVE the test of time. Durability, longevity and International Expandable 4-Wheel Carry style are equally important aspects of On and the Halo Backpack, shown above. travel sets. From weekender bags to totes or stand- alone suitcases, a good bag can make or break your travel experience. Luxury brands FlyWithWine, McLaren Automotive, and Bugatti have plenty of options when it comes to unique luggage sets that will ensure you have everything you need to set foot on your next journey. CEO of FlyWithWine Ron Scharman knows the problem all too well: you purchased the most amazing bottles of wine from your destination vacation, and want to transport it home with you in a safe, cost-effective way. As opposed to shipping the wine overseas or wrapping it up in your clothes, causing potential damages, Scharman wanted to create a better way to bring home these prized possessions. The company’s solution, the VinGardeValise, includes a specialized insert to protect the glass bottles, which are sold in 3 sizes and colors (black, burgundy, and silver), 5-, 8-, and 12-bottle sizes, and sell over 1,000 pieces a month. “The wine bottle inserts in the suitcase can be easily removed to pack personal effects as with any suitcase,” Scharman describes. “It’s highly versatile and rugged luggage that includes a TSA-approved lock and a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.” With convenience and ease on your beverages of choice, there’s no question that FlyWithWine bags solve a common problem for travelers. 54
