The Bahamas (or The Bahama Islands), is an archipelago consisting of many islands in the Atlantic Ocean east of Florida. The country is made up of about 2,000 islands if you include the cays, which are small islands that are formed on coral reefs. Not densely populated, the Bahamas is renowned for its natural beauty, unique culture, and is a popular tropical vacation destination.

Dunmore Town / Harbour Island / North Eleuthera
Size: 11 rooms and suites
Harbour Island has always been a bit of a Caribbean insider’s secret. Pink sand beaches, pastel-painted houses draped with colorful bougainvillea, turquoise waters and distinct cultural heritage cast a spell on all who visit.
With just 11 rooms, Bahama House feels more like a stylish friend’s beach retreat. A freshwater swimming pool and handcrafted tiki bar make it hard to leave. Luckily, guests don’t have to go far to experience local culture. Located in the heart of Dunmore Town, popular restaurants and live music spots, are just minutes away. While the island is known for its laid back pace, Eleven’s guides know how to deliver a dose of adventure. Scuba dive or snorkel, cliff jump into a sapphire blue hole, or catch your own dinner on a deep sea fishing excursion. The property has a 35-foot Scorpion RIB Boat and captain, making it easy to explore neighboring islands. No matter how you choose to spend your day, it will always end in true island style as you watch the sunset with a Goombay Smash cocktail in hand.

The entire island of Musha Cay is reserved for just one group of as many as 24 guests at a time. “Private” doesn’t even begin to describe the exclusivity of this pampering retreat; here you’ll have access to 700 acres of lush island beauty and, as the staff is quick to say, a privacy so rich you’ll seem to disappear. There are five spectacular guesthouses for you and your guests alone, and each has its own private beach and unlimited amenities. Be as active as you wish – swim in the freshwater pool and, if the sea calls, try snorkeling or taking a WaveRunner out to explore 11 private islands.
