This season, you’ll discover newly constructed accommodations: four Beachfront Junior Suites and the Beachfront Two-Bedroom Infinity Pool Villa. The 750 sq. ft. Beachfront Junior Suites offer a private patio, deep soaking tub, a plush king bed and endless views of the water. The resort’s brand-new Beachfront Two Bedroom Infinity Pool Villa is ready to be your home away from home. This stunning 1,600 sq. ft. haven sleeps four with two king beds, dual bathrooms with garden tubs and outdoor showers, a separate living area, a dining table for six and a heated infinity pool. All 22 rooms, suites and villas have been renovated within the last 18 months, each offering water views. Featuring luxe textures and custom artwork, room interiors in neutral tones by BAR Architects & Interiors emphasize the turquoise ocean vistas. New decks and patio furniture for each accommodation provide ideal vantage points for sunsets, stargazing and relaxation.

The island boasts impeccable beaches, picturesque sunsets and undisturbed wildlife, all contributing factors in being named the “Best Secret Island on Earth” by Travel + Leisure. Despite all that it has to offer, Eleuthera is only about one mile wide and 110 miles long.

The topography of the island varies from wide open beaches to large outcrops of coral reefs. The eastern side of the island faces the Atlantic Ocean, while the western side faces the Caribbean Sea, one of the two Bahama Banks. No matter where you are sightseeing on the island, you are sure to be surrounded by breathtaking views.
