St Kitts
Properties for sale in Frigate Bay
Frigate Bay is the most active residential strip on St Kitts. The land sits on a narrow neck of the island with the calm Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic surf on the other — the same ridge that gives every villa here a dual-water view if it's high enough up. Fifteen minutes from the international airport, ten minutes from downtown Basseterre, and walking distance to the Royal St Kitts Golf Club, the area concentrates more international property inventory than any other neighbourhood in the federation.

Can foreigners buy property in Frigate Bay?
Yes. Non-citizen buyers either apply for an Alien Landholding Licence (a 10 percent government fee) or buy a CBI-eligible unit and skip the ALHL altogether. Most Frigate Bay villas qualify for the standard non-CBI path; a smaller number of approved developments here meet CBI thresholds.

Villas start around US$300,000 for older two-bedroom homes off the ridge and run to US$3M+ for new-build modern beachfront. The most active band is US$650K to US$1.5M for three-bedroom homes with pool and ocean view.
Is Frigate Bay good for short-term rentals?
Yes — it has the highest occupancy on St Kitts for vacation rentals because of the beach, the golf, and the resort amenities. Well-positioned three-bed villas with pool typically book at 55 to 70 percent annual occupancy in 2026.
How long is the drive from the airport to Frigate Bay?
About fifteen minutes by car — the shortest of any major residential area on St Kitts.
