"A haven for quiet luxury on Harbour Island, this hotel feels like a chic home-from-home with privacy-focused layouts—adjoining rooms act as apartments with shared living spaces and spacious sun decks—and a central shared swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, frilly umbrellas, and lush foliage that embodies the island’s easy, regular-visitor atmosphere." - Lauren Burvill

The Best Hotels in the Bahamas | Condé Nast Traveler

"With just 11 rooms I felt an immediate sense of coming home in this stylish reincarnation of an 1800s B&B, where historical charm meets seaside chic — think vintage rattan, four-poster beds, grass-cloth wallpaper with coral pops, sea shells, and pineapple decor. Rooms are arranged around a central pool with a tiki bar that’s one of the best-stocked rum bars on the island, where I’d recommend sipping a Goombay Smash (made with aged Jamaican rum, homemade coconut rum, and apricot liqueur). Days are for toes-in-the-sand relaxation on teak chairs or zipping out on the hotel’s Scorpion rib boat to fish for bonefish on the saltwater flats; the property can also be taken over for private groups of up to 22." - Annabelle Spranklen

"On an island that’s less than two square miles with fewer than 2,000 people, new hotel openings are bound to cause a stir—as did Bahama House when it launched on Harbour Island in January, 2017. It’s the newest outpostfrom the folks at Eleven Experience, a vacation outfitter known for offering elegance after a full day of bespoke escapades. Spread across a restored colonial home built in 1800, an annex, and two authentic Bahamian cottages and enclosing a freshwater lap pool, handcrafted tiki bar, and hot tub area, Bahama House’s 11 suites have been appointed with eclectically curated furnishings, artwork, and wall coverings, eschewing island kitsch for beach-chic sumptuousness. Though the hotel leans toward softer adventures thansister properties in Colorado , Iceland , and the French Alps, the flip-flop–wearing “experience managers” are on hand to arrange snorkeling and bonefishing excursionsandpaddleboard or kayak outings.Or they'll simply provide a fully stocked Yeti cooler for a day of lounging on famous pink-sand beaches."

This Harbour Island Hideaway Merges Laidback Island Living With Old-World Bahamian Glamour - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"A secluded, 11-key, plantation-style boutique hotel hidden behind a code-activated gate and a canopy of palms; interiors by No. 12 Interiors fuse Bahamian, Caribbean and Palm Beach pieces—grass-cloth walls, rattan furniture, pencil-post mahogany beds, local artwork and lacquered conch shells—while modern conveniences include one-touch lighting, a central sound system and rainfall showers. Cottages and suites feel private and meticulously preserved, many with semi-private verandas overlooking a secret garden courtyard. Onsite amenities include a freshwater pool, a tucked-away tiki bar serving a signature Goombay Smash, a rum library with 40+ aged selections, daily breakfast of locally sourced fruit and made-to-order omelets, afternoon après with Bahamian bites and craft cocktails, and an in-house chef who prepares private dinners and artisan picnic baskets for boat excursions. The property runs guided water- and beach-based activities—captained Scorpion RIB rides to salt flats, sea-turtle feedings, snorkeling around Spanish Wells, horseback rides along the island’s blush sand and cliff-jumping—and is staffed by warm, hands-on managers who provide local recommendations. The house is a private property open only to in-house guests and offers an intimate, chic, well-curated island escape."
