Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty Improves Website to Include 4K Video Technology

Better Quality Video, Better Buyer Experience. Also known as Ultra High Definition, 4K resolution offers better quality video at a higher resolution. This higher resolution is particularly beneficial for industries such as real estate because it allows potential buyers to experience the finer details of a home in sharper clarity when viewing property videos.

 

NASSAU, The Bahamas (Aug. 23, 2018) — Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that its website, SIRbahamas.com, now supports 4K video on its property detail pages, a feature that will be rolled out through the entirety of the website over the next few months.

“4K video is the new benchmark for both recording and watching video and it brings a whole host of benefits to our clients,” said Lana Rademaker, Chief Sales Officer for Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty. “This technology presents our exclusive listings in the highest resolution possible, bringing all aspects of a home to life in a way that allows potential buyers to experience the home’s true beauty and value simply by viewing a property video.”

The display on 4K video is so clear that it’s virtually impossible for a viewer to see pixels. When combined with faster screen refresh rates, 4K has the potential to deliver almost as much depth as 3D—without the need for glasses.

“With the level of clarity that 4K video provides, it’s really the next best thing to touring the property in-person,” Rademaker said.

This is particularly important when it comes to the luxury real estate market in The Bahamas since many potential buyers are viewing properties from afar.

“As a company with extensive global reach, we are committed to taking advantage of every tool we can to ensure that the buyer experience is as satisfying and as seamless as possible,” Rademaker said. “Whether that buyer is viewing our website locally or from 3,000 miles away.”

Damianos Sotheby's International Realty

Refined Décor, Seclusion and Miles of Powdery Beach are Putting Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty’s Exclusively Listed Guanahani Beach Villas – and San Salvador – on the Map

Ultimate luxury in a relaxed, reclusive atmosphere. Located about 200 miles southeast of Nassau, Guanahani Beach Villas sit on 1.5 miles of powdery sand on the southeast coast of San Salvador in The Bahamas. Exclusively listed by Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty and featured on the cover of the 2018 summer issue of RESIDE Bahamas, the elegant resort offers the best of both worlds – luxurious imported finishes and refined décor in a laidback setting ideal for the adventure seeker.

 

San Salvador, The Bahamas (August 14, 2018)— Ten years ago, Carlo and Elena Sparta set off on a quest to find a place that was remote enough to feel secluded, but accessible enough not to intimidate savvy travelers.

They didn’t know exactly where they’d end up, they just knew they’d know when they found it. After embarking on a globe-trotting odyssey that took them to some of the world’s most spectacular locations in Australia, South Africa, Mexico, Baja California and Brazil, their search ended the moment they felt the powdery white sand sift between their toes as they walked along Snow Bay Beach in San Salvador, The Bahamas.

“It was love at first sight,” said Elena Sparta who now owns and operates Guanahani Beach Villas on that very beach. “The bay is breath taking; the colours of the water change several times a day. We knew almost immediately that this was the ideal place for us.”

Nestled on the sand just steps from Pigeon Creek and Snow Bay National Park on the southeast end of San Salvador, Guanahani Beach Villas offer guests three one-bedroom villas and a two-bedroom villa all of which feature elegant touches such as oak wood flooring, crisp white walls, teak furniture, Hansgrohe faucets, Bassini shower heads, Pozzi Ginori ceramics and white mosaic Bisazza shower tiles.

“Using white as the dominant colour was not only a question of taste, but a deliberate choice to ensure that the villas were in harmony with the colours of the sea and the beauty of the nature that surrounds Guanahani,” said Sparta.

Aesthetically driven, these features are what sets Guanahani Beach Villas apart and make it unique in the resort landscape of The Bahamas.

“The European styling combined with the best of The Bahamas beachfront allow for the perfect marriage of European design and Caribbean charm,” said Vanessa Pritchard-Ansell, the Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty Real Estate agent who is exclusively representing the property.

And it’s not just the décor that nurtures a sense of accord throughout Guanahani Villas. With cement roofs and walls and double-glazed hurricane-impact windows on every building, the property is built to weather storms, offering peace of mind for future owners and visitors.

Additionally, louvred doors and windows take full advantage of the trade winds which flow consistently and steadily over San Salvador November through May making the island a dream destination for sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The waters surrounding San Salvador reach as deep as 4,000 meters, attracting divers, snorkelers and fishermen from around the world, particularly from the French and European markets.  To serve this ever-growing tourism market, Air Caraibes has increased its airlift with direct flights from Paris to San Salvador every Thursday. The island is also served by direct daily flights from Nassau on American Airlines and BahamasAir , weekly flights from the U.S. and two flights a week from Canada.

Another unique aspect of Guanahani Villas is the ability it grants future owners to establish their own design imprint on the island with the availability of vacant land directly adjacent to the resort.

“The 12,647 sq. ft vacant lot included in the asking price, as well as the surrounding vacant lots available for sale, offer the perfect blank canvas for a developer to project their own vision, or on which they can continue the space-saving architectural style and interior design footprint.”

NASSAU, The Bahamas (Aug. 13, 2018) — Chefs, foodies and restaurateurs will fill the Imperial Ballroom at the Atlantis Resort to capacity on Saturday, Sept. 29, in honor of Paradise Plates 2018.

“It’s been an honor for us to be a sponsor of this extremely worthwhile event for the past five years,” said Lana Rademaker, Chief Sales Officer for Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty. “Zeleka Knowles and her team at Hands for Hunger do an absolutely incredible job every year of putting together an event that is both elegant and educational.”

“This year we come together to commemorate a decade of service to those in need. There is no better way to mark the occasion than with an incredible Paradise Plates event, that celebrates our work and raises funds to support the year ahead,” said Zeleka Knowles, Executive Director of Hands for Hunger.

With up to one in every eight people in The Bahamas going to bed hungry every day, organizations like Hands for Hunger have never been more crucial to the survival of those less fortunate. All proceeds go directly to Hands for Hunger and towards our organization’s mission. Funds raised from Paradise Plates keep food rescue trucks on the road for another year.

Getting to Know The Bahamas Islands

Welcome to The Bahamas Islands. The Bahamas, or the Commonwealth of The Bahamas as its formally known, is an archipelago consisting of 700 islands and cays in the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the most well-known Bahamas islands are New Providence (Nassau and Paradise Island), Abaco, Andros, Exuma and Eleuthera.

Cerulean waters, tranquil breezes and some of the most pristine beaches in the world are characteristics many would use to describe the beautiful Bahamas islands. While these natural amenities are among the top reasons people cite for traveling or moving to The Bahamas, these are only a few of the wonders that you’ll find when island-hopping or when looking for the ideal location for buying a second home or investment property in The Bahamas. Below we’ve taken a moment to outline some of the larger Bahamas islands, and offer some of our personal tips on what makes each island so unique and special.

New Providence

Home to Nassau and Paradise Island, New Providence is probably the most well-known of the Bahamas islands and cays. As the island where the majority of the population of The Bahamas resides, New Providence is a popular stop for cruise ships and a vacation destination for tourists looking to explore world-renowned luxury resorts such as Atlantis, Baha Mar and The Ocean Club. In addition to being home to some of the most high-end hotels and private luxury real estate in the country, Nassau is famous for its immaculate beaches, its offshore coral reefs, its world-class diving and snorkeling and historical landmarks like The Queen’s Staircase, Fort Charlotte and Pompey Museum of Slavery and Emancipation.

The Abacos

Known as a boating and sailing paradise, the Abacos are approximately 80 miles east of South Florida. Making up the 120-mile-long chain of islands are top boating and fishing destinations like Great Abaco and Little AbacoWalker’s Cay (and its sister island Grand Cay);  Spanish Cay and Green Turtle Cay, with its settlement of New Plymouth; Great Guana Cay, private Scotland Cay, Man-O-War Cay, and Elbow Cay, with its settlement of Hope Town; and, Tilloo Cay and Lubbers Quarters. In addition to boating and fishing, Abaco offers championship golfing at The Abaco Club at Winding Bay Bahama Beach Club in Treasure Cay and Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club on Guana Cay, as well as some of the best snorkeling and diving among the The Bahamas islands.

Andros

The largest of The Bahamas islands, Andros has an area greater than all other 700 Bahamas islands combined and is among the least explored islands of The Bahamas. Its population of just 10,000 spread across 2,300 square miles of tropical foliage, mahogany and pine forests, and lush mangroves means guests of luxury resorts such as Kamalame Cay are treated to some of the most unspoiled beaches and waters the country has to offer. The Great Andros Barrier Reef , measuring 190 miles, is the third largest fringing barrier reef in the world. It drops to about eight feet on the island side and approximately 6,000 feet in the Tongue of the Ocean.

Exuma Cays

Perhaps best known to tourists as the Bahamas island chain that is home to Pig Beach and the famous swimming pigs, the Exumas form a 90-mile chain of  365 islands and cays, and also includes some of the globe’s most stunning luxury resorts like Grand Isle Resort and Spa on Grand Exuma, Lumina Point Resort & Spa on Stocking Island and Sandals Emerald Bay. In addition to luxury resorts, the Exumas offer some of the most stunning private property available on the real estate market including Blue IslandSampson Cay Saddleback Cay and Pipe Cay.

Eleuthera

Comprised of mainland Eleuthera, which includes Governors HarbourGregory Town and Palmetto Point and neighboring  Harbour Island and Spanish Wells, Eleuthera is possibly the most diverse of The Bahamas island chains. Its eastern side faces the Atlantic Ocean, and its western side faces the Great Bahama Bank, making for breathtaking natural wonders such as the spectacular The Glass Window Bridge and The Queen’s Bath. The topography of the island varies from wide rolling pink sand beaches to large outcrops of ancient coral reefs.
