Guide to Eleuthera

There is something about the laid-back, low-key elegance of Eleuthera and Harbour that capture the hearts and imaginations of everyone who visits. They are two islands that define the Bahamian way of life, from their rich and varied history and architecture to their scattering of pink sand beaches and mesmerising coves that fringe miles of glorious coastline. They are a true escape from the hustle and bustle of normal life, and of course best seen aboard a luxury charter yacht.

The island of Eleuthera, named from the Greek word for freedom, was founded by a group of fleeing Brits in 1648. Since then it has welcomed many a sailor and now more often a superyacht traveller to its still unspoilt shores. Much of its appeal lies in how authentically Caribbean it has managed to remain and how impressive its natural beauty is, where rolling green hills and fields of pineapple trees meet beaches that live up to all paradise expectations.

Eleuthera’s chic neighbour, Harbour Island, is a hotspot for the SuperyachtSet who can enjoy the offering of gourmet restaurants and secluded anchorages alongside a sense of tranquility. Whether you enjoy some fine dining in the town or dinner al fresco prepared by your private Chef on board, be sure to take an evening visit to one of the island’s music bars.
