The Cove Eleuthera

11 Best Resorts in the Bahamas: 2019 Readers' Choice Awards

"A secret-feeling sanctuary tucked between two white sand coves on the less touristy island of Eleuthera, this resort feels almost like a private island. The 55 rooms, suites, and villas have a simple-but-sweet design and lots of modern touches, such as fine linens, Nespresso machines, and outdoor patios. Many of them are in freestanding bungalows, and most are close to the beach. There’s a strong focus on experiential adventure and underwater exploration, with complimentary resort bikes, private boat excursions, kayaks, SUP boards, and an array of island tours. The spa emphasizes the holistic benefits of bodywork, with treatments that range from a traditional Thai massage to organic seaweed leaf wraps to the Mindful Dreams Ritual. The two restaurants use produce from the resort’s own sustainable garden, along with organic beef and locally sourced seafood." - Ann Abel
