About Eleuthera

Eleuthera, a 100-mile gem in The Bahamas, is all about breathtaking beaches, turquoise waters, and laid-back island vibes. Whether you’re after a chic luxury resort with infinity pools, a boutique hideaway in Governor’s Harbour, or a budget-friendly beach shack near Gregory Town’s surf spots, there’s something for every traveller on our list of the best places to stay on Eleuthera. Families love the calm coves of South Eleuthera, while couples gravitate toward the secluded villas of Harbour Island.

Wherever you choose to stay, expect stunning sea views and an appealingly easygoing atmosphere. Stroll through sleepy seaside villages, pedal along quiet trails once lined with pineapple fields, or spend your days fishing, snorkelling and diving in an incredible underground cave system.
