| Eleuthera Island |
When someone informs in the company of his friends or colleagues that he is going to rest in the Bahamas, he cannot avoid envious glances, because everyone dreams of setting foot on the snow-white sands of the paradise islands, sung in films and idealistic commercials. Of the huge number of islands that make up the archipelago, several are considered large and worthy of your tourist attention. One of these oases, where thousands of tourists flock every year with suitcases stuffed with swimsuits and sunscreens, is Eleuthera Island (from the Greek for “free”), a small island that is considered an elite vacation spot for the “powerful of this world”.
The Eleuthera Island is very long and narrow - 180 km long and in some places only about 2 km wide, it is small, but it amazes with endless, sparkling white sand beaches, shimmering with pink mother-of-pearl in places, and sprawling tamarind trees, whose height reaches 9 meters. Not far away, the most charming island of the Bahamas, Harbor, looks out playfully from the turquoise water, where the richest and most famous people in the world prefer to relax.

Now several hotel complexes are being built on the island at once: worth 300 million USD in Cotton Bay and Powell Point.
How to get there
There are three airports on Eleuthera Island: North (North Eleuthera Airport), as the name implies, serves the northern region of this paradise, including Harbor Island and the popular Spanish Wells area. The second airport - Governor's Harbor is located in the center of the island, and the third - Rock Sound Airport is located in the south of Eleuthera.
Bahamasair flies every day from the capital Nassau to all three airports. In addition, flights from Florida (USA) arrive here, for example, Continental flies from Miami, and Delta flies twice a week from Atlanta.
