Your escape from the 'rat race' is on the exclusive, private, Windermere Island. It is accessed from the island of Eleuthera via a gated bridge. You will probably find that your footprints are the only ones on the beach! If you happen to see another car along the Queens Highway (the one main road on this 110 mile long island) the driver is sure to give you a friendly island wave!  Windermere Island is a safe, secluded, private, gated islet on the Atlantic Ocean, where the sunrises are spectacular. The crystal clear water is perfect for swimming, kayaking, shelling, snorkeling and fishing. Relax on the most beautiful beaches found anywhere in the world. Many of these pink sand beaches remain deserted on this beautiful, unspoilt natural paradise.

This is true island life - paradise found!

Eleuthera is one of the most beautiful, natural islands in the Bahamas. It has rolling green hills, dramatic cliffs, sheltered coves, breathtaking inland lagoons and caves, coral reefs teaming with tropical fish, and pristine pink sand beaches that stretch for miles. The island is over 110 miles long but hardly more than a mile wide in some places.  At 'Glass Window Bridge', in the northern part of the island you can see the deep navy blue Atlantic Ocean and the calmer, aquamarine Bight of Eleuthera simultaneously.

The quaint colonial villages take us back in time, to the island's pilgrim settlers who arrived over 350 years ago and named the island Eleuthera, Greek for 'Freedom'. History surrounds you each step of the way, with stone buildings still displaying their hand carved stone which was acquired from the local quarry.  The locals will make you feel right at home, and share stories of ancestors arriving 100 years ago or so.  The island's rich red soil produces a variety of vegetables and exotic fruits such as pineapples, mangos, papayas and avocados.  The flora is breathtaking!  The vibrant colors of bougainevilla and hibiscus will dazzle you!   Keep your camera handy at all times and try to catch the motion of the hummingbirds as they sip the nectar from the tropical flowers.
