Own a home in a luxurious Caribbean residential golf resort

The Caribbean is becoming increasingly popular with European property investors and second home buyers, with developers on many islands incorporating fantastic golf courses into stunning residential developments. In St Lucia a new Greg Norman-designed, Troon Golf-managed 18 hole golf course will offer residents of this development fantastic views across the Atlantic; with some points of the course standing 600 feet above sea level. Considered by many to be one of the Caribbean’s foremost property investment hot spots, St Lucia combines breathtaking beauty and tourist appeal with regular international flights.

The Dominican Republic is another popular choice for first-time overseas property investors, due to its exceptional value for money. Luxury apartment complexes offer stunning golf courses with beautiful Caribbean beaches only yards away. Properties in these developments offer both a golfer’s paradise and the ideal holiday home.

7th Heaven Properties, UK-based specialists in Caribbean property, represent many developments and luxury homes located throughout the Caribbean. “The region is ideal for golfers considering overseas property investment,” explains Managing Director, Walter Zephirin. “The Caribbean as a whole has so much to offer: stability, exquisite beauty, year-round sunshine, and potentially some of the best golf courses in the world. Whilst the property markets in Florida and Spain suffer, and investors in Dubai are cautious of the effect of over-supply on future property resale, prices in the Caribbean are expected to continue to grow, with properties set to maintain their value. On many islands, residential property prices have never gone down in recorded history, and with the current weakness of the dollar, now is the time to invest.”

In spite of the current credit crunch, tourists continue to flock in droves to the Caribbean. Tourist arrivals to St Lucia have increased by nearly 10 per cent in the first half of this year, ensuring that rental income for investors looking to rent out their properties is almost guaranteed. The message is clear: avid golfers with one eye on the course and the other on a good investment need look no further than the Caribbean property market.
