Elbow Reef.

Rebuilt entirely following Hurricane Dorian, Hotel Elbow Reef has transitioned from a traditional stay into a polished boutique retreat on the shores of Hope Town. The aesthetic is crisp and coastal, defined by vaulted white wood ceilings, timber accents, and eight airy suites that lean into a minimalist Bahamian luxury. While the interior is serene, the property functions as a social hub for Elbow Cay, anchored by a 130-foot private dock and an infinity pool that overlooks the Atlantic. Guests can opt for individual rooms or buy out the entire villa, which grants access to a professional chef’s kitchen and expansive indoor-outdoor lounge areas. It balances the privacy of a private estate with high-end hotel services, including a dedicated concierge who can arrange everything from grocery provisioning to free-diving excursions on the nearby reef.
