Banyan Tree

Banyan Tree Residences Bimini is a collection of 54 private waterfront homes at Banyan Tree Bimini Resort, 48 nautical miles east of Miami Beach. Each residence is designed by Chad Oppenheim of Oppenheim Architecture, sits directly on the water with its own dock and infinity pool, and comes fully furnished, with the services of the Banyan Tree resort next door.

Residences have been offered from about $3.5 million. Start here before you talk to the sales team, and I'll help you narrow the layouts that make the most sense and show you how Bimini compares with a South Florida waterfront home.

At a Glance

Furnished waterfront residences with private docks, minutes by air from Miami.

The Residences

There are five layouts, each with three or four bedrooms and interiors that start between about 2,693 and 3,226 SQFT depending on the plan. Every home sits directly on the water with private dockage of 96 to 150 feet and its own 15-by-35-foot infinity pool.

Oppenheim Architecture designed both the architecture and the interiors, and Raymond Jungles designed the landscape. The look is open-air and minimal: deep overhangs, walls of glass that slide away and living spaces that open straight onto the pool deck and the water.

Lot sizes vary by layout, so the specific homesite and its water orientation matter as much as the floor plan.

Resort & Lifestyle

Owners live alongside Banyan Tree Bimini, a 50-key resort with overwater and beachfront bungalow suites, and the on-site Bonito Beach Club. Residents also receive a lifetime, transferable Banyan Tree Sanctuary Club membership with benefits at Banyan Group properties worldwide.

Location

Bimini is the westernmost chain of islands in The Bahamas, 48 nautical miles east of Miami Beach. Access includes a new helipad, scheduled seaplane service from South Florida and the developing South Bimini International Airport, which makes it a realistic weekend home for a Miami, Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach owner. By boat, it's a classic crossing for anyone who already keeps a boat in South Florida.

"Bimini works for a very specific buyer: someone who loves the water, already spends time in South Florida and wants a true island home with a dock and resort services, without a long flight. The questions I help buyers work through are how they'll get there, how often they'll realistically use it and whether the rental program fits their plans."

Who This Is Best For

Probably not the right fit if you need a full-time home on the mainland, want to be in a city or aren't comfortable buying outside the United States.

What Buyers Should Know

• This is a Bahamas purchase. Ownership, taxes, closing and residency are governed by Bahamian law, and the developer's materials note that residents of some U.S. states may not be eligible to purchase unless a registration or exemption applies. Get professional advice on both sides before you commit.
• There is a rental program. All residences are eligible once completed. The rental management agreement and project documents control the terms, so read them closely if rental income matters to you.
• Plan the logistics. Think through how you'll travel, how you'll handle maintenance while you're away and what the resort services cost before you choose a layout.
• Have the contract reviewed. Consider having a real estate attorney licensed in The Bahamas review the purchase agreement before signing.
