Harbour Island

Harbour Island, affectionately known by locals as “Briland,” is a three-mile-long sanctuary of elegance and understated luxury. Famed for its iconic Pink Sands Beach, the island offers a surreal landscape where pale rosy shores meet crystal-clear turquoise waters. The sand gets its unique hue from foraminifera—microscopic coral insects with bright pink shells that mix with the white sand. Beyond the beach, the heart of the island is Dunmore Town, one of the oldest settlements in The Bahamas. Its narrow streets are lined with candy-colored colonial cottages, white picket fences, and blooming bougainvillea, all best explored by golf cart—the island’s preferred mode of transport. Harbour Island has mastered the art of “barefoot luxury,” attracting discerning travelers who appreciate high-end boutique hotels and world-class dining tucked away in a quiet, historical setting. Whether you are horseback riding along the shore at sunset, exploring the hidden “Lone Tree” landmark, or enjoying fresh lobster quesadillas at a chic seaside bistro, Harbour Island feels like a sophisticated step back in time.
