For the ultimate secluded getaway, take a one-hour boat ride from Nassau and head to Powell Pointe Resort at Cape Eleuthera. The resort's gigantic town homes feature two bright bedrooms each, full bath, and a stainless-steel kitchen. Watch breathtaking sunsets from your second-floor balcony, or from the Starbucks-inspired coffee shop's veranda, which turns into a wine bar at night. By day, explore the resort's 18-mile-long shoreline, which is home to more than 20 beaches. For a unique experience, have the staff take you by boat to one of the five nearby, footprint-free islands for the day. Pack a picnic and your seashell bucket and get ready for complete solitude. Pros: beautiful resort right on the water; professional yet friendly staff; gear rental on site for water and land excursions (some with fee). Cons: two-story town homes are inconvenient for travelers with heavy suitcases or disabilities (there is one ground floor unit).
