Harbour Island
Harbour Island
Harbour Island, lovingly referred to as Briland by its residents, is a true slice of paradise that leaves visitors enchanted and embraced by the warm hospitality of its people. This coral-rimmed island, a short distance from Eleuthera, boasts a mesmerizing pale pink hue thanks to the finely pulverized coral that adorns its shores. Harbour Island exudes a quaint coastal charm, boasting picturesque New England-style architecture. Often referred to as the “Nantucket of the Caribbean,” this coastal gem is accessible solely by boat or ferry, adding an air of seclusion that makes it all the more special.
Perched along the serene eastern Atlantic Ocean side, Harbour Island has rightfully garnered the attention of luxury travel enthusiasts, who have elevated its status as a coveted spotlight destination. Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey to this exquisite corner of the world, where beauty, tranquility, and coastal elegance converge in perfect harmony.
At the heart of Harbour Island lies Dunmore Town, the island’s sole community, exuding New England-style charm with its colonial clapboard houses and vibrant architecture. Despite being a stomping ground for the rich and famous, the island maintains an unassuming and down-to-earth atmosphere. The best way to fully explore the island’s offerings is by renting a golf cart or embarking on leisurely walks, immersing yourself in the vibrant surroundings. The island’s colorful architecture and rich history add an extra layer of allure to your journey.
Embark on a yacht charter to Harbour Island and immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters that beckon for exploration. Just 0.6 miles south of The Glass Window Bridge from North Eleuthera, you’ll discover The Queen’s Baths, a collection of natural pools perfect for a relaxing soak in a natural sauna-like setting. To further satiate your snorkeling desires, venture to the Devil’s Backbone at the northern end of Eleuthera. Here, a snorkeler’s paradise awaits, teeming with angelfish, snapper, stingrays and awe-inspiring coral formations. Marvel at the remnants and ancient anchors of ships that succumbed to the jagged coral, creating a shallow diving experience ranging from five to thirty-five feet in depth.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the island’s unassuming yet luxurious hotels, offering unimaginable views. Enjoy a refreshing drink while savoring the delectable cuisine at their restaurants and spend your restful nights aboard your charter yacht.
