Now Trending: Briland Club & Marina
Located on the iconic Harbour Island in the heart of The Bahamas, Briland Club & Marina stands among the most captivating and exclusive communities in the Caribbean. With a variety of vibrant properties found on both its 27-acres of land and across its mega-yacht marina, the private club community distinguishes itself as one of the premier destinations for buyers in search of a second home or a boat slip. We sat down with Nick Cassini, COO and Managing Partner at @properties Development Group (@DG), to dive a little deeper into what makes Briland Club such a special development.
Some of Briland Club’s most enthralling features are the myriad best-in-class amenities that are unique to the private community. At the top of the amenities list is the club’s mega-yacht marina, which is one of the most coveted boating docks in the Caribbean. “Our client, 4M Harbour Island, went above and beyond when designing the Briland Marina,” explains Cassini. “The technology is far and above any other marina within Harbour Island, which is a huge advantage to both novice and expert yachters. They considered details that you wouldn’t think of, like the width of our berths and the ability to comfortably dock to load and unload equipment — these are important factors that make life so much easier for captains and yacht owners. Then there’s the marina itself; it's absolutely stunning. Its architecture, materials, landscaping, setting, lighting — everything about it invites you in and makes for an extraordinary stay.”
Other private club amenities found within the community include a state-of-the-art fitness center with health bar, full-size pickleball and tennis courts, and Briland Club’s centerpiece — the Clubhouse — where members enjoy an amazing menu and live music surrounded by some of the most spectacular yachts in the world.
Cassini continues, “Briland Club has everything Caribbean buyers want. Whether they’re searching for a custom-built second home, a location to dock their mega-yacht with direct access to Harbour Island’s famous Pink Sand Beach or simply a tropical community to unwind in paradise, Briland Club checks all the boxes. Along with the Club’s various residential options, the private club offers Harbour Island locals and homeowners the opportunity to become members of this elite community without owning any property.”
With options on land and water, Briland Club appeals to buyers of all needs, says Cassini. “Some people are just looking for a one- or two-bedroom that they can put into a rental program; some are looking for bigger compounds for their family who might want to spend significant time in the warm weather; others might want to get into boating and like the idea of owning a piece of real estate where their boat could be docked; and then you have yacht owners who might not necessarily be interested in real estate, but who want Briland Club to be their port-of-call. So, the fact that we have such a variety of options for buyers across 27 lush acres validates the uniqueness of the community.”
Curated with a mixture of upscale adventure and authentic charm, Briland Club stands out as an unrivaled, immersive luxury community that the Caribbean has never seen before. With a deep appreciation for both its recent buyers and the island’s established residents, Briland Club redefines the facets of luxurious living that couldn’t have been imagined without the expertise and insights of the local community. “Every time I visit, I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of pride from local Bahamians who are involved in the project,” says Cassini. “Whether Briland Club is hosting a local band or serving eats inspired by local flavors, the rich connection it shares with the surrounding community is apparent in every detail and experience.”
