This romantic little island, called ‘Briland’ by locals, is just an hour by plane from Florida. After landing in North Eleuthera, visitors take a five-minute cab ride to a short water taxi ride before finally reaching paradise. This quaint and friendly town features old Victorian structures adorned with Bahama’s colourful pastel paint schemes. There are no high-rise buildings, no fast food nor traffic jams, not even a red light!

Word of mouth has always been the only way to learn about Harbour Island. This has made it become popular with international business magnates and famous celebrities who prefer to keep a lower profile and don’t want to be bothered by crowds or the paparazzi. Visitors have the choice to stay in one of the few boutique hotels or to rent a vacation home on the island. These range from an old historic house to an ocean front villa.

La Palmeraie was conceived as a resort villa, it offers the privacy of an exclusive property combined with the luxury, comfort and service of a five-star resort. Visitors will almost feel as if they are on a private island as the house is located on one of the quietest sections of this incredible beach. This 11,000 square feet villa with nine bedrooms is located right on the dune overlooking the beach with 140 feet of beach frontage. Harbour Island’s long, wide beach is renowned for its pale pink sand and has been listed as one of the 10 best beaches in the world.

La Palmeraie was completed in May 2018 and has a definite Asian flair while incorporating a minimalist decor and design. Featuring a hotel size fitness centre, a full spa with steam bath and sauna and massage room, La Palmeraie also includes a 400 square feet movie theatre, wine cellar and a large office. Its large swimming pool and outdoor jacuzzi for 12 people are ideal for further relaxation.

A cleaning team attends during each stay and additional staff such as a chef are available upon request. Last but not least, La Palmeraie has two golf carts for guests so that they can cruise around the island at their leisure.
