As international buyers increasingly prioritize lifestyle, tax efficiency, and global mobility, the Caribbean continues to stand out as a compelling real estate destination. From the financial strength and stability of the Cayman Islands to the established prime markets of Barbados and Antigua and the low-density waterfront communities of Turks and Caicos, the region offers a rare combination of favorable tax regimes, year-round island living, and direct flight connections to the United States and Europe.
Leading this selection is La Rosa Náutica, a $55,000,000 peninsula estate in Grand Cayman’s exclusive Vista Del Mar enclave. Each of the featured homes is represented by Savills Global Residential, the international consultancy whose dedicated Caribbean desk guides buyers across the region’s most sought-after islands.
Grand Cayman: Financial Strength Meets Island Living
Combining a world-class financial center with white-sand beaches and a celebrated culinary scene, Grand Cayman has emerged as one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after prime property markets.
A Tax-Neutral Hub with Global Connectivity
A British Overseas Territory and leading global financial center, the Cayman Islands record the region’s highest GDP per capita at $96,073. The tax environment is a key draw for international buyers: there is no income tax, no capital gains tax, and no annual property tax, while foreign buyers face no ownership restrictions. A one-time stamp duty applies on purchase, at 10% for properties valued at CI$2 million or more (7.5% below that threshold), following a rate change effective January 2026.
Direct flights to the United States and Europe make Grand Cayman a practical base for business as well as leisure. Among the island’s most prestigious addresses is Vista Del Mar, a gated waterfront community in West Bay overlooking the North Sound, where residents enjoy a marina, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and 24-hour security.
