HARBOUR ISLAND
Pink Sands is a 20-acre haven set by the edge of famous three-mile pink sand beach. Designed by Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki, Pink Sands comprises 25 pastel-colored cottages scattered throughout lush tropical grounds.
Pink Sands has long enjoyed a devoted following on this quiet Bahamas Out Island, offering a sophisticated hideaway to travellers for more than 40 years. The hotel is designed in an eclectic mixture of styles - Moroccan, Indian, and Balinese.
