Just two miles wide, but 110 miles long, this slinky island takes its name from the Greek word for ‘freedom’ and holds a special place in the hearts of Bahamians.
Divided between North and South Eleuthera and dotted with pineapple plantations and charming villages—Tarpum Bay, Bannerman Town, Hatchet Bay, and Governors Harbour, among them—this quiet, friendly island is known for its pink sand shores and translucent waters.
Free of crowds, Eleuthera moves at a leisurely pace but fashionable Harbour Island is a five-minute boat ride off its northeast coast if you need a little razzle-dazzle.
