LOCATE GUERNSEY: Make the Most of Your Precious Time
“Small but perfectly formed” is one way in which the island of Guernsey could be described. Although measuring only 25 square miles, Guernsey offers abundant natural beauty, sandy beaches, rugged cliff paths and a selection of fabulous golf courses for visitors and residents to enjoy. As the second largest of the Channel Islands, Guernsey punches above its weight, offering a safe, secure and stable place to live with a thriving economy and fantastic work/life balance. It’s also an ideal destination for short breaks and longer holidays, and with three golf courses to choose from, visitors coming specifically to play golf are never disappointed.
A British Crown Dependency, Guernsey has its own democratically elected government and makes its own laws. With a population of just over 63,000, visitors enjoy the island’s warm welcome and revel in its abundance of green open spaces.
For those who choose to live here, radically shorter commutes are amongst the many factors which make Guernsey life so attractive, something which the steady flow of discerning new residents to the island discover for themselves. Guernsey residents live life to the full – they work hard but make time to relax, and the island’s four golf clubs provide plenty of opportunities for keen golfers to enjoy their sport.
Guernsey is well known as a global finance centre with an attractive tax regime. Income tax is levied at a flat rate of 20%, and residents are not subject to inheritance tax or capital gains tax. However, although the island is often initially considered by people who might be about to sell a business, or make a significant capital gain, the more relaxed pace of life and the desire to have a fresh start in a safe and secure environment is a big draw. Whatever the initial reason for considering a move to Guernsey, the appeal of the island’s superb quality of life puts a big tick in the well-being box.
Guernsey boasts four golf clubs – Royal Guernsey and L’Ancresse Golf Club share a course in the north of the island, tantalisingly close to the sea. Golf 19 is just outside of St Peter Port and is attached to a beautiful hotel and spa complex. La Grande Mare, which overlooks the island’s West coast, is currently undergoing a major redevelopment and upgrade. The new owner is passionate about golf and plans to transform La Grande Mare into a leading golf destination with excellent facilities which he hopes will draw even more golfers to the island.
