Where Sustainability Shapes Every Step
At Ki’ama Bahamas, we believe that luxury should tread lightly. Therefore, we design residences so that each detail — from layout to finish — contributes to sustainable island living. Our goal combines beauty with responsibility, so you live in comfort while protecting your surroundings.
For instance, we source FSC-certified wood and recycled steel. Also, our insulation uses non-toxic materials that reduce energy loss. Because we prioritize these elements, your home feels both elegant and eco-conscious.
Materials, Power and Design That Respect the Land
First and foremost, Ki’ama’s residences apply carbon-negative construction techniques. We build on piers, rather than excavating large swaths of land, which protects native terrain and coral reefs. Likewise, all residences run on solar power, so we avoid fossil-fuel emissions entirely.
Moreover, we harvest rainwater and recycle greywater systems. Furthermore, paths and structures follow the natural contours of the land, rather than forcing alteration. These choices amplify the impact of sustainable island living by ensuring that environmental respect is integral to every home.

Silence, Sunshine, and Solar Yachts
In addition to residences, our Club Ki’ama yachts reflect the same philosophy. These solar-powered vessels glide silently through the water, thereby reducing noise pollution and minimizing environmental disturbance. They extend your lifestyle beyond land, while still honoring island ecosystems.
As you cruise hidden coves or snorkel coral reefs, you benefit both personally and societally. Because every yacht trip is electric-powered, you avoid emissions found in traditional marine engines. This harmony of luxury and conservation defines sustainable island living in its fullest expression.

Why It Matters
The Exumas are rare, wild, and irreplaceable. That’s why we take a regenerative approach to development. We don’t just reduce impact — we actively improve the land we occupy.
By prioritizing sustainability, we offer our owners something even more valuable than luxury: the peace of knowing their home helps protect paradise.
Real Questions About Sustainable Island Living
What exactly does “sustainable island living” mean at Ki’ama?
It means designing homes, paths, and amenities that protect land, sea, and sky. It also means using energy efficiently and choosing materials that reduce environmental harm.
Is Ki’ama really carbon-negative?
Yes. Our homes are built using carbon-negative construction practices, meaning they absorb more carbon than they produce during their lifecycle.
What kind of materials are used in these residences?
We use FSC-certified wood, recycled steel, eco-friendly insulation, and other sustainable materials that reduce waste and support energy efficiency.
How does water conservation work on the island?
We’ve implemented rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling systems to minimize fresh water use and support long-term resource sustainability.
Are the yachts really solar powered?
Yes. The Club Ki’ama yachts use solar panels and advanced battery systems to power silent, emission-free cruising throughout the Exumas.
Will following this lifestyle cost more?
Initially, sustainable materials and systems may cost more. However, over time, savings from solar energy, lower maintenance, and efficient systems tend to reduce overall costs. Moreover, the non-tangible benefit of living in a healthier environment often outweighs monetary costs.
