"Renowned for its striking pink-sand beaches set against turquoise waters, this island also charms with colorful New England–style architecture and an upscale shopping scene that has earned it the moniker “Nantucket of the Caribbean.”" - Lauren Dana Ellman

"Harbour Island is an out island of the out island Eleuthera in the Bahamas . Home to a scant 1,500 people and more golf carts than cars, Harbour Island is the perfect place to get away from it all. It’s also home to the rich and famous who visit for the same reason the rest of us do, quiet relaxation. As soon as I landed on the island I could feel my stress melt away. It's hard to get too worried on an island with roosters in the street and golf carts whizzing past. Harbour Island is one of those places that quickly occupies a place in your heart and I know I can't wait for a return visit."

"Every corner of this archipelagic province in the Philippines is picturesque: the waters are clear and bright, the mountains are steep and striking, and the list of adventurous things to do is seemingly endless." - Travel + Leisure Editors
Nicknamed "Billionaire Island", be prepared for an expensive but friendly, warm people and Pink Beach. The clothes are flowing and brightly colored. Carts or walking are the best modes of transportation after taking the water taxi to the island from Eleuthera Island. Few shells on the beach. The rich have removed the reefs and destroyed parts of the dunes.

Very pretty island with plenty of food and drinks. We spent 4 days on and off the island and would highly recommend harbour Island to anyone looking for a getaway. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly locals. Be sure to rent a golf cart and go exploring.
