Thinking about visiting Eleuthera? We have put together a 3 day itinerary that has your vacation covered. If you decide you need some more time on the island, these 3 busy days can easily be interspersed with some lazy beach or pool time.

Squires Estate is a collection of immaculately restored and maintained nineteenth-century houses on an idyllic hillside overlooking Governor’s Harbour and the Caribbean Sea Beyond.

Do you know how the Glass Window Bridge got its name?

The Glass Window Bridge got its name from the natural limestone arch that once stood there, forming a narrow opening between the deep blue Atlantic Ocean on one side and the calm turquoise Caribbean side. This dramatic contrast of colors framed by the arch looked like a window cut into the island.

In 1885, Winslow Homer, the American artist, visited Eleuthera and painted the scene. He described it as looking like peering “through a window,” which is where the name came from. The original natural arch eventually collapsed due to storms and erosion, but the name “Glass Window” stuck, and today the man-made bridge spans the gap.

It’s one of the most photographed spots in The Bahamas because you can stand on the bridge and see two oceans — dark Atlantic on one side, clear aquamarine Caribbean on the other.

🐢💙 Endangered and extraordinary — seeing a green sea turtle in The Bahamas is a true privilege. 🌊✨

📍 Photo taken on Eleuthera (by me) — visiting the island is a wonderful opportunity to spot one!

Love this cute painting that a guest did of our new Squires Village. This is the old Pyfrom House, a 150 year old house in central Governor's Harbour. It is now a coffee and gift shop and this is going up on our wall!

Early morning walks never disappoint! 🌅 The harbor this morning looked like it had been plucked straight from a painting – sailboats perfectly still on glassy water, with dramatic clouds reflecting perfectly. Nature’s artwork at its finest. 🎨⛵
