One of the oldest islands in The Bahamas, Harbour Island is touted as a stylish and chic resort that abounds with natural beauty such as pink-sand beaches, lush greenery, pastel color cottages and quaint and charming towns. The spectacular Pink Sands Beach is home to one of the finest coral reefs and is an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling.
This glamorous resort is flooded with a range of vacation rental options such as beachhomes, cottages, villas, oceanfront vacation homes and houses. All of them come equipped with a host of amenities and comforts to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The luxurious villas even feature a stretch of private beach, Jacuzzi and a pool. Most vacation rentals are non-smoking and generally don't allow pets. However, it is advisable to check with your vacation rental owner well in advance.
Dunmore Town: Situated on the island's harbour side, it was named after the 18th century royal governor of The Bahamas. Saunter through the narrow car-free lanes that are lined with old gingerbread cottages adorned with orange, purple and pink bougainvillea. This fairy tale like town with white-fenced houses is a scene that seems straight out of a storybook.
Harbour Island doesn't have a golf course, however, you can always visit the 18-hole Cotton Bay Golf Course at the nearby Eleuthera Island. Spread over a 450 acre resort, this course has been designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones.
