The Dunmore Hotel

The Best Hotels in the Bahamas | Condé Nast Traveler

"Once a private members’ club that’s been luring guests since 1963, I found this Harbour Island belle to be intensely photogenic and sceney, set on a three-mile stretch of finely crushed-coral beach that reads rose during the day and glows pink at sunset. Interiors are charmingly chintzy — driftwood walls, vintage rattan, striped parasols — and the grounds and 10-acre tropical gardens hide coastal-cool clapboard cottages that feel private; the property serves Instagram-ready frosé and fish tacos, and for more space you can opt for sprawling residences with private pools and multiple bedrooms." - Annabelle Spranklen

"From a members-only beach club in the 1960s, The Dunmore has evolved into a 16-room boutique stay whose spirit and decor evoke that era. Local interior designer Amanda Lindroth oversaw a major renovation when the hotel’s current owners bought the property in 2010. Wicker and rattan furniture, patterned prints, and spaces that are as much outdoors as indoors create a look that is somewhere between late British colonial and timeless Bahamian. Although the landmark sitson Harbour Island’sPink Sands Beach, a pool with an airy pavilion adds to The Dunmore’s reputation as a place of amiable gathering. After a day of sunfilled fun, head to the on-site restaurant, where chef Cindy Hutson, one of the region’s rising culinary stars, prepares modern twists on island delicacies—think grouper curry with lychee and grilled pineapple and banana fritters with rum caramel."
