Bacolet Bay Resort & Spa on the island of Grenada is a brand new 5 star opportunity we are marketing pre-launch prior to this off plan property development releasing globally in January 2007.

This tiny Isle of Spice as Grenada’s known, just 18 miles by 24, lies on the most southerly tip of the Windward Islands. A heady cocktail of banana trees, tropical flowers, pungent spice plantations, lofty mountains and 80 miles of creamy white beaches set against azure waters.

Small but perfectly formed there is plenty to see and do. Enjoy a wander round the colourful street markets, a hike along a nature trail or a boat trip to discover one of Grenada’s 65 secluded bays. Take a day tour around a spice factory, play a morning round of golf or simply sup a tall rum punch under a shady palm.

Grenada property prices are a fraction of established neighbours St Vincent, Barbados and St Lucia partly due to the simple shortage of desirable holiday property available for investment, something the development of Bacolet Bay aims to offer.

The real-estate sectors of India and China continue to grow at a blistering pace and the ongoing economic prosperity has naturally had a knock-on effect on these countries real-estate markets. However, they are yet to challenge rival market known collectively as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); the Persian Gulf region and in particular Dubai has been the real power house so far in terms of economic development growth.

Surveying 100 key real estate decision makers, when balancing risk against returns, 58% opted for the GCC, in particular Dubai, over China and India.

It seems these days that everyone is getting in on the overseas property investment act. Boxer Joe Calzaghe recently invested in not one but two apartments off plan. Firstly, Bansko Royal Towers which Nubricks featured last week, which he chose due to its proximity to Bansko’s ski gondola which is all important when it comes to renting and resale. Joe purchased through The Right Move Abroad, selecting a one bedroom apartment at 67,200 euros it will complete fully furnished and be ready to rent 1st March next year in time to catch a portion of the 2007 ski season. His plan is to let his Bansko apartment out, through his research Joe feels it has plenty of year round potential as a ski resort in winter with golfing and nature pursuits in the summer. He purchased on the basis that the Bansko Royal Towers project would yield far better returns long-term, then purchasing a second property in UK. “There are no real bargains to be had in the UK unlike the Eastern European countries, though I wish I’d bought five years ago when prices were even cheaper!” said Joe.
