The hotel is the epitome of understated, elegant luxury, with a clever use of white and cream décor and fabrics, and cool pale wooden floors and tiles, to create an ambience of space and serenity.

The terrace restaurant offers an imaginative and ambitious menu - you won’t want to eat elsewhere.

There is a lagoon pool, floodlit tennis courts, and you can rent a boat or take a snorkelling excursion.

Near the resort are the little shops and crisp candyfloss pink and eggshell blue British colonial style houses of quirky, unspoilt Dunmore Town.

Our comment

"With soft pink sand lining the coast and pastel coloured, clapboard houses in the local village, this is probably the prettiest island in the Bahamas."
