Developed in the 1950’s, Lyford Cay sets the standard for gated communities in the Bahamas, where it is common to rub elbows with the rich and famous. It is a magnificent private residential neighbourhood located on the most western tip of New Providence. It boasts over 300 beautifully landscaped properties within a 1000-acre gated community and includes the world-renowned Lyford Cay Club. Residents and members enjoy a championship golf course, twelve tennis courts, a full service marina, private school and world-class cuisine. They also enjoy a half-mile beach and twenty-four hour security. The development also has its own international school. Just outside the gates is the Lyford Cay Shopping Centre—complete with food store, gas station and bank. Nearby is the Lyford Cay Hospital and a police station. Nassau’s international airport is also only minutes away by car.
