Top 4 Gated Communities in New Providence

The Bahamas is a sprawling archipelago of 700 islands, cays, and islets but the capital city of Nassau on the island of New Providence is the center of industry, trade, communications, and tourism.

Ancient forts leftover from the bygone era of European settlement and rivalry are dotted across the island, with beautiful pastel-colored colonial architecture, duty-free shopping, restaurants, markets bars, and casinos are some of the cultural attractions offered.

Naturally, on an island, there is an opportunity for boating, sailing, and fishing. With Paradise Island connected to Nassau via a bridge, you can enjoy the resorts, pristine sand beaches, exclusive luxury shopping, and the world-famous Atlantis Resort. New Providence Island has something for everyone and the best way to enjoy it is from your slice of island heaven.
