The air on Eleuthera island is super pure and the water crystal clear. Ideal for a relaxing Bahamas vacation where the fine pink sand beaches are never crowded.

This is a laid-back island. Ideal if you want to escape the city. And there's no shortage of vacation rentals.

Or would you like to book an all inclusive vacation package to the Bahamas for savings on your airfare and hotel?

"Our" island is close to Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida. Just one hour by air.

On this site I will show you the island's character. You'll find lots of useful tourist information here, maps, restaurants and interviews.

My wife and I are from Europe. We live on this Bahamian Out-Island most of the time because we like the island's moderate climate. In the summer it's not as hot as in Santa Barbara, California, and during winters it's considerably warmer.

The island has rolling hills -- there are no mountains like in so many Caribbean destinations. That means lots of sunshine and little rain during winters.

Best of all?...

Because many winter residents rent their homes, you have a wide choice of vacation rentals. But only a handful of hotels are in business.

Eleutherans are very friendly people. Don't worry about getting around on your own. It's totally safe to explore.

By the way, most people can't say the island's name. It's pronounced El-oo-thra, a difficult word. Here are some common misspellings... Eleuthra, Eluethera & Eluthra. Who cares!

But notice the message on the lady's T-shirt...

Eleuthera, It's not for everyone. Because it's not an island developed for tourism. For more info click on Eleuthera is Special.

Quite a number of restaurants are offering tasty Bahamian, American, Italian and Cajun food. Click on All Restaurants at the upper left. Then, view those with a link to them.

Music and entertainment? Yes, to a degree, but mass tourism is still unknown. And it will probably remain so for quite a while.

As you can see no location is far from a beach. That's useful if you want to drive to a cooler or calmer beach for an afternoon.

*Our* island is only 20 minutes by air from Nassau. We like to be close to the capital which has much more extensive shopping. You can also get there by fast ferry in two hours.
