Pink Sands is the original Harbour Island boutique — a series of tropical cottages set in three acres of garden directly above the three-mile pink sand beach. The property's design mixes Bahamian vernacular with the kind of colour-saturated Caribbean eclecticism that feels effortless here. Sunrise breakfasts on the private beach terrace are among the Caribbean's most quietly magnificent experiences.

The best of both worlds for Atlantis seekers who want a touch more serenity.
