The Bahamas Building Code was most recently updated in 2003 by the Ministry of Public Works & Urban Development, based on the South Florida Building Code, which is in turn based on the International Codes.
A Building Permit is required for all new construction, additions, alterations, including decks, sheds, retaining walls, and fences in The Bahamas as mandated by the Buildings Regulations Act.
(December 12, 2024) – With just a year to go before opening in December 2025, Royal Caribbean released new details of its first private beach club, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, a 17-acre complex coming to Nassau in the Bahamas.
Opening in 2025, Royal Caribbean's Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will be a 17acre slice of paradise in Nassau, The Bahamas.
The ultimate beach day debuts in Nassau, The Bahamas in December 2025. The 17acre slice of paradise is next up in the Royal Beach Club Collection and joins Royal Caribbean's lineup of destinations, which includes the awardwinning Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas.
In May 2023, Nassau Cruise Port officially embarked upon a new era of Bahamian cruise tourism, celebrating the grand opening of the port after a $300 million transformation.
Back in September 2021, Royal Caribbean announced that they would be building a new adults-only area. Hideaway Beach was the first expansion of Perfect Day at CocoCay since Royal Caribbean launched the luxurious Coco Beach Club in 2020.
CocoCay is a 125-acre island located in the Bahamas' Berry Island chain between Freeport and Nassau. The tropical oasis, previously known as Little Stirrup Cay, is exclusive to Royal Caribbean guests.
You've gotten a bunch of logical answers but not the real reason. It's contractual. The mainstream cruise lines with ``private'' islands in the Bahamas actually lease those islands. Those leases come with contractual agreements that a certain percentage of ships that use the private islands must stop in Nassau.
SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. - No building shall be ed closer to the front lot line than whichever is the lesser of Twenty-five (25) feet or a distance equal to Twenty per centum (20%) of the average depth of the lot.
