The Best Hotels in North Eleuthera

North Eleuthera, the northern part of the wild and beautiful Bahaman island of Eleuthera, is a magical place to go to escape the modern world. Nature abounds everywhere: the island's famous swimming pigs; the exclusive, far-flung, hidden beaches for which the tropical island is famous for; the natural wonder of the Queen's Bath rocky tidal pools at low tide. Go snorkelling in the reefs or hire a boat and fish in the bright waters. Ride horses across the pristine white beaches. Kayak through lagoons and little secret inlets. The best hotels in North Eleuthera are as private and intimate as the island itself. They're remarkably different: one is a luxury paradise and the other a seriously cool glamping property. Both offer direct beach access and the sense of peace and intimacy it's hard to replicate elsewhere.

For a luxury couples' paradise

• The Cove Eleuthera is a small village of white suites and villas in an oasis of palm trees set by a secluded, bright blue bay. Take evening strolls through the scented gardens, relax on wide verandas, or get pampered in the spa. Head down to the beach for snorkelling or kayaking, all organised by the hotel, or simply lounge by the infinity pool. Come evening, choose between sushi or Bahaman cuisine at one of the two restaurants. A luxurious tropical paradise.

For seriously cool glamping

• If you want to sleep a little closer to the stars, look no further than The Other Side, a luxury glamping site nestled among palm trees by the sea. The white tents are little self-contained havens, with hardwood floors, Berber-style rugs, vinyl players and elegant four-posters. Mix your own cocktails at the restaurant, play pool or table tennis in the games room, and feel your troubles melt away in perfect, tranquil seclusion.
