You think Malta would fit better than the Bahamas (Paradise Island) or Lyford Cay? I spent some time in Malta and in the Bahamas and I see pros and cons for both I think. Beaches and weather are of course a lots nicer in the Bahamas but I found Nassau in general quite depressive.Been silently watching this thread but refrained from commenting until now.
My preference would be with Malta in terms of what has been suggested.
As a wild card ff you got 100k euro to burn in a flat tax non-dom system then both Greece and Italy offer known non-dom programs but language maybe issue. Both countries are tax hell holes and programs can be cancelled at any time so keep that in mind . Plus the EU clamp down on Golden Visa may hinder one route to Greek program so I would look at Malta again and maybe Northe Malta if you want peace.

The gated communities are beautiful inside but as soon as you venture outside it feels really 3rd world like. I visited the immigration office to extend my visa in Nassau and it could have been a 3rd world African country.
Something about the vibe on Paradise Island also felt off to me. The Exumas are indeed the beach paradise I've always dreamed about but Nassau, I don't know.
