The Island of Eleuthera gives you a true sense of Bahamian life, culture, and food. Nestled between two sandy coves, The Cove is a destination unlike any other and the only Relais & Chateaux in the Bahamas. With only 22 suites and villas, the resort feels like your own private sanctuary. The island boasts impeccable beaches, picturesque sunsets, and undisturbed wildlife, all contributing factors in being named the “Best Secret Island on Earth” by Travel + Leisure. The Cove Eleuthera is an intimate, off-the-beaten-path resort built on happiness. Simply setting foot on their pristine island will transport you to a simpler way of life. In addition to soft, white sand beaches, sweeping views of turquoise waters, and luxurious suites and villas, it offers a variety of experiences for guests to enjoy.
Despite all that it has to offer, the island of Eleuthera is only about one mile wide and 110 miles long. The island’s topography ranges from wide-open beaches to large coral outcrops. The eastern side of the island faces the Atlantic Ocean, while the western side faces the Caribbean Sea, one of the two Bahama Banks. No matter where you are sightseeing on the island, you are sure to be surrounded by breathtaking views.
There’s no shortage of activities to try or natural beauty to explore, far beyond the magic of simply being on the island. Unmatched relaxation can be sought at the Cove’s Spa Suites or during outdoor yoga. Spend a lazy day snorkeling right off the beach, or hire a boat to explore the island. There are pickleball courts for those who want a challenge, painting and art classes for the creative types, and a nature trail that is suited for all levels and gives an overview of the flora and fauna of the island.
Cravings can be satisfied at Freedom Restaurant, which is known for flavorful Asian/Bahamian fusion-inspired cuisine and a renowned sushi bar. Sunset happy hours can turn into once-in-a-lifetime moments at Point Bar, a cliffside perch where you can indulge in tropical cocktails, beer, and wine. Of course, with a villa overlooking the pristine beach, in-room dining is always a good option.
