The Cove Eleuthera, Bahamas
More photosExpert reviews
“The Cove Eleuthera, a 40-acre boutique hotel that opened in the Bahamas in 2013, has become the go-to for high-profile travelers seeking understated, off-the-beaten-path luxury. On the lesser-known island of Eleuthera, one of nearly 700 in the Bahamian archipelago, the resort began a multi-tiered renovation last August to revamp the property’s 29 sumptuous rooms.”
“Utter seclusion and luxury to the nth degree are the hallmarks of this exquisite boutique resort, tucked into lush landscaping along a calm, turquoise bay. Although there are ample opportunities to enjoy the crystal-clear waters, this is first and foremost a place where indulgent relaxation takes top priority.”

All you need to know
In the mid-20th century, Eleuthera enjoyed a period of popularity as a destination, and even though there were logical reasons for its downturn, the inherent charm of the location remains unaltered.
Thus, it’s gratifying to observe its resurgence — who could resist a Bahamian island that stretches over a hundred miles yet is only two miles wide, a subtle curve of paradise in the northern Caribbean? Especially now, with establishments like The Cove making significant strides to entice a fresh wave of explorers.
This new wave is a generation accustomed to the sleek, monochrome minimalism of boutique hotels, a generation that perceives floral-print bedding as an interior design faux pas equivalent to a warning message etched across a mirror.
It’s perhaps no surprise that The Cove has done away with its floral patterns and possibly a substantial amount of rattan during a major revamp. The result is an ultra-modern aesthetic — pristine white walls, contemporary furnishings, rain showers, oversized flat-screen TVs and more.
