The pink sand, the historic cottages, the stylish seashore bars and luxe villas. Chances are you’ll be considering of Harbour Island.
However that is one other more and more hip vacation spot in The Bahamas: Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera, which simply welcomed a brand-new boutique lodge.
The realm in central Eleuthera, which is now linked by nonstop service from Miami on American Airways, is the house of the recently-debuted, dramatically reworked Potlatch Membership, the rival of a once-glittering jet-set getaway that laid dormant for years.
The lodge, the place Paul McCartney honeymooned and Raymond Burr, Greta Garbo and Rita Gam vacationed, is an 11-key retreat that’s the brainchild of recent homeowners Bruce Loshusan and Hans Febles.
The lodge is ready on a seven-mile stretch of pink-sand seashore on Eleuthera’s Jap finish, and a significant addition for the island, one of many gems of the Out Islands.
The rooms are a mixture of three suites, three backyard cottages, a trio of ocean-view cottages and a one-bedroom and four-bedroom ocean-view villa. The latter comes with devoted butler service.
There’s an old-school clubhouse, an on-site eatery, the Fig Tree, a pool, a seashore bar referred to as the Pavilion Bar and a boutique, two-treatment-room Acqua Spa.
If you happen to’re not staying at Potlatch, you possibly can even e-book a day go and get entry to the seashore, the pool and the spa.
Heading to Eleuthera? The island has another nice lodging choices: there’s the luxe Cove Eleuthera (additional north, nearer to North Eleuthera Worldwide Airport); The Retreat (a lodge in Rock Sound we’ve referred to as probably the most sustainable lodge within the Caribbean) and arguably the best-kept secret in Eleuthera, the sumptuous Cape Eleuthera resort, house to spectacular new toes-in-the-sand bungalows that simply opened their doorways.
Even higher? New flights have helped make it simpler than ever to fly to Eleuthera, from Makers Air’s Rock Sound flights to American’s aforementioned Governor’s Harbour service to Tradewind Aviation’s new flights to North Eleuthera, which kick off this fall.
