The Potlatch Club Boutique Hotel

On the Rugged Bahamian Island of Eleuthera, the Potlatch Club is Back and Better Than Ever | Vogue

"On my first afternoon at this reborn midcentury retreat on the rugged Bahamian island of Eleuthera, I swam in the ocean until my fingers pruned and my eyes were rimmed red from salt, then collapsed onto a sun lounger to revive myself with sips of homemade iced ginger tea; just as I began to doze, a pod of dolphins appeared and frolicked in the shallow water not 10 feet from the hotel’s seven-mile stretch of pink sand beach. Privacy and seclusion are the essence of the place, even as the 11-key property draws celebrities, British aristocrats, and American oil tycoons on private jets and is fast becoming the most sought-after spot on the destination wedding circuit—I even saw a Texan couple in matching white blazers roaming around, tasting menus, and discussing security measures for dignitaries and heads of state. Being here, it’s impossible not to slip into a carefree island routine, moving around the 12-acre estate as though you’re the multi-millionaire who owns it—even if you arrived crumpled and sweaty, like me, via a bumpy half-hour Pineapple Air flight from Nassau." - Siobhan Reid
