This is Royal Island in the Bahamas, currently listed on JamesEdition for $45 million.
Spanning more than 400 acres off North Eleuthera, the island already runs as a turnkey private resort, with five beachfront villas wrapped in large decks, a restaurant and bar, spa rooms, a gym, an oval pool, a guest house, and its own private catamaran.
What sets Royal Island apart is what could still be built here. It is the only island on the market with approvals for both a marina and a golf course, including a 39-acre marina for around 100 slips within its natural harbour, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus course, and more than 90 developable land parcels.
The golf course could also make way for an airstrip, while the existing hospitality offering could grow into a full-scale resort and beach club.
And despite its scale, the island sits just 15 minutes by boat from North Eleuthera and its international airport.
