Brief Description
Resembling a long thread over the cerulean Caribbean sea, Eleuthera is a place like no other. Its unspoiled shores have drawn travelers seeking adventure for many years now, with its raw nature offering a change of scenery from major tourist hotspots. The stunning island has nearly 200 beaches along its length. The best part? Most of these beaches have little to no tourist footfall all year. If your ideal beach holiday involves the feeling of a completely private beach, then Eleuthera is for you!
Historically, Eleuthera was a bustling Taino settlement. In the 17th century, British settlers arrived and renamed the land Eleuthera after the Greek word for ‘free’ in hopes of creating the first European democracy in the New World. Fortunately, the island continues to be as pristine as it was centuries ago despite having been a thriving settlement for centuries. The best way to experience this island to its fullest is to drive along its entire stretch. The unmarred scenery is a treat to the eyes, with as many hidden cays and caves as beaches.
Head towards the Glass Window, the most iconic place in Eleuthera, and watch as the turquoise waters of Bight of Eleuthera and cobalt waves of the Atlantic ocean pass by either side of you. If you plan on relaxing in one gorgeous spot, the queen’s baths - a collection of natural, tidal pools - are the place to be. A magical island, Eleuthera cannot be missed during your voyage.
