The Residences at Montage Cay: Perfecting Private Island Living in a Secluded Area of the Bahamas

The Residences at Montage Cay is the first-ever private island residential development from Montage Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Sterling Global Financial. Located in the tranquil Abaco Islands of The Bahamas—an underdeveloped, stunning chain of islands and cays in the northern Bahamas—this destination is known for its more secluded crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand beaches, and laid-back charm.

Poised to redefine private island living, The Residences at Montage Cay are set to become one of the most coveted destinations in the Caribbean. Offering a rare blend of effortless ownership, immersive amenities, and Montage’s signature five-star service, the homes, ranging from two to six bedrooms, are thoughtfully placed across seven private enclaves—each with its own beach and oceanfront for heightened exclusivity. Artfully constructed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, each residence features private pools, outdoor kitchens, lounges, and recreational areas, all set against uninterrupted views of the Sea of Abaco. With the Abacos often referred to as the boating capital of the Bahamas, Montage Cay features a 47-slip deepwater marina capable of accommodating yachts up to 100 feet.

Despite its sense of total seclusion, Montage Cay is remarkably accessible—just a short 10-minute boat ride from Marsh Harbour, which offers direct airlift from major U.S. and European markets, as well as private jet and charter service via a modern FBO.

Ownership opportunities, starting at $4.6M, include:

  • Estate Homesites & Residences: Estate Homesites are the largest properties offered on the island, allowing buyers to purchase land for a custom oceanfront residence or select from pre-designed plans—each set on an oversized lot with panoramic views. Residences with four to six bedrooms are delivered fully turnkey with landscaping, pool, amenities and furnishings.
  • Villa Residences: The Villa Residences offer turnkey oceanfront living with private pools and seamless indoor-outdoor design. Each home features vaulted ceilings, custom Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchens, spa-inspired primary suites, and fully furnished interiors.
  • Shore Cottages: The oceanfront Shore Cottages offer indoor-outdoor living with two bedrooms, a spacious den, and three full bathrooms—all with sweeping views of the Atlantic and Man-O-War Cay. Each residence is fully turnkey with custom furnishings, private pool and landscaping.

Owners will enjoy personalized residential management and access to a robust array of amenities from the ultra-luxury resort, Inn at Montage Cay, including multiple distinct dining experiences—such as a Japanese-inspired steakhouse and beach bar and grill. Wellness offerings are anchored by Spa Montage, while recreation includes Compass Sports, multiple resort pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and abundant water pursuits exploring the Abacos’ pristine coral reefs. Families benefit from the Paintbox Children’s Club, and all residents enjoy bespoke experiences such as guided cultural and ecological excursions of the surrounding cays.

More than an ultra-exclusive escape, The Residences at Montage Cay are a smart decision for investors who understand that luxury, legacy, and jurisdictional planning are now inseparable. As high-net-worth individuals increasingly turn to real estate for wealth preservation, ownership here unlocks direct access to Bahamas Economic Permanent Residency (which the Sterling Global team can help facilitate), offering a streamlined path to residency in one of the world’s most tax-advantaged jurisdictions, with no income, capital gains, or inheritance taxes. In addition, with the backing of Sterling Global, Montage Cay is delivered by a Global Investment Manager that understands wealth beyond the home.
