Harbour Island, a charming and quant island located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Harbour Island is only three miles long with a small neighborhood feel. The town is colonial Caribbean in style with a warmth throughout the island people and feel that will draw you in the moment you step foot.
Getting to this island will be the first part of the adventure. Once you arrive at the Nassau airport, you will then need to take another flight to North Eleuthera on a tiny plane for about twenty minutes. From there, you'll catch a water taxi to Harbour Island. This short boat is enchanting and you will quickly learn the infectious charm of the people who live in and around these islands. Once on Habour Island, the golf cart will be your greatest friend - taking you to and from wherever it is you want to go. It's all part of the adventure and charm of this island.

Harbour Island is a charming and serene paradise that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of more tourist-heavy destinations you'll find in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. It’s a small island with a big personality, offering a blend of natural beauty, bohemian style luxury airing on the haute bohemian feel, history, and a laid-back atmosphere. Its weathered charm will not be obvious at first glance but the longer you stay you'll find it everywhere you turn.
While the beach is the main focus of the trip, there are several other noteworthy shops and places to see on the island. From India Hick's beautifully curated Sugar Mill Shop and Blue Rooster, there is a lot of locally crated items to see and discover.
