A 700-acre island in the Exuma Cays just hit the market with its own private jet runway.

Blue Island isn’t just another beachfront listing — it’s being marketed as the largest private island for sale in the Bahamas, priced around $120 million, with a feature no other Caribbean property can claim: a brand-new 5,700-foot paved asphalt airstrip built to handle large private and commercial-class jets. Tucked into the southern Exuma Cays, the island pairs raw, undeveloped scale with infrastructure usually reserved for small commercial airports.

• Blue Island spans 700 acres in the southern Exuma Cays with more than three miles of white sand beaches and elevations reaching 100 feet.
• Its 5,700-foot asphalt airstrip is the only private jet landing strip of that scale on any private island in the Caribbean, and it comes with on-island Bahamian customs and immigration clearance.
• The asking price has been listed around $120 to $125 million, later fluctuating to $95 million, through agencies including Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty and Vladi Private Islands.

The Airstrip That Sets It Apart

Most private islands in the Bahamas rely on grass strips, seaplane docks, or a boat ride from Nassau or George Town. Blue Island skips all of that. The 5,700-foot paved runway is long enough for large private jets and commercial-class aircraft to land directly on the property, and the listing includes on-site customs and immigration clearance — meaning international arrivals can clear entry formalities without detouring through a Bahamian port of entry first. That single piece of infrastructure is the reason brokers keep calling it one of a kind in the region.

The only private island in the Caribbean with a private jet landing strip of that scale.

The Land Itself

Beyond the runway, Blue Island offers the kind of scale that’s increasingly rare in the Exumas: 700 acres, over three miles of coastline, and elevations up to 100 feet that give parts of the property sweeping views over the surrounding cays. The island already has an existing main house, a staff residence, four miles of roads cut through the interior, and deep-water dockage for yachts and support vessels. Anyone chasing the same open-water lifestyle on a smaller scale might check out the smallest inhabited island in the Caribbean for contrast — Blue Island is built for the opposite end of that spectrum.

Utilities are already installed across the property — water, power, and communications infrastructure are in place, which matters for a site this remote. That groundwork is a big part of why brokers are pitching it less as a raw parcel and more as a shovel-ready estate or resort site.

Private Estate or Boutique Resort

Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty and Vladi Private Islands have marketed Blue Island two ways: as an ultra-exclusive private residential compound for a single owner, or as a development site for a luxury boutique resort. The airstrip does a lot of the work in either pitch — a resort operator could fly guests in directly without a marina transfer, and a private buyer gets the kind of jet access usually limited to islands with existing commercial airport ties. For buyers comparing what else is out there in that price bracket, the ambition tracks with properties like the $65 million Beverly Hills mega mansion, just scaled up to an entire island with its own runway instead of a driveway.

Blue Island’s listing hasn’t disclosed a buyer or a closing timeline, but at $95 to $125 million for 700 acres with a working commercial-grade airstrip already poured, it’s the kind of asset that doesn’t sit on the market quietly — brokers pitching it as the last piece of undeveloped land in the Exumas with that kind of runway attached.
