INVESTMENT

With a five-star deluxe brand operating the villas, the hotel will be able to command the highest room rates and thus enhance rental returns substantially. St. Lucia is an island with a stable political environment where tourism is thriving, annual property appreciation currently sits at 15-20%, and overseas buyers enjoy favourable tax benefits.

What’s more, with the option of selling your property with UNESCO designated World Heritage Status property at any time; this is an investment in capital as well as lifestyle.

The Investment

  • Purchasers of these buy-to-let, fully furnished villas will enjoy a minimum 5% rental guarantee from handover and for the first 12 months after the hotel opening. Rental Illustrations indicate a 7% ROI in year 3.
  • Owners will receive a 37.5% share of the total room revenue which will be pooled. Each owner’s pool split is calculated via the purchase price of the villa, set at launch. The proportional split will remain the same, regardless of any future price increases.
  • The development is being sold on a freehold basis.
  • There are no capital gains, inheritance or estate taxes in St Lucia.
  • A comparable purchase in Barbados with a beach front location and five star hotel management company would be 30-40% more expensive.

The Tides Sugar Beach has passed both the government requirements and UNESCO regulations for development. UNESCO World Heritage status ensures that your investment is protected and there is no risk of future overdevelopment.


NOTE TO US CLIENTS

Villas at The Tides Sugar Beach are purchased in a mandatory rental pool scheme. Unfortunately, we are unable to send information to the US due to SEC regulations.

Sugar Beach does have villas for sale outside of the rental pool called the Ocean Residences.
