In their latest Candy GPS Report, Savills, Candy & Candy, and Deutsche Asset Management ranked the world's top islands for real estate investment by ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) - those with $30 million or more to their names.
The report ranks the islands by the volume of UHNWI property holdings, transportation links to mainland markets, sources of capital and occupiers, tax regime, and real estate prices.
Bermuda, with its large number of billionaire residents, proximity to the east coast of the US, and no income tax, topped the list of "A list" islands. "Most homes are understated, built in the 'Bermuda vernacular' of painted stone with wooden shutters," the report says. "Tucker's Town is the area of the island where the ultra-wealthy congregate, enjoying some of the island's best views and adjacent to the island's best golf courses."
