Runaway Hill

Eleuthera


A Harbour Island icon, this 1940s private estate is now a hotel on an unimprovable bluff setting overlooking the Atlantic, and is lavishly blessed with WWII-era features such as the checkerboard lobby and dark-wood library. Rooms and villas are distinguished by subtle whites, Cuban tiles and vintage woods, and the pool deck overlooks the sea. Children are welcome.
