3 Best Hotels in Elbow Cay, The Abacos

The motto here is "Tan your toes in The Abacos," making this beachfront resort the ideal place for a getaway. The cozy rooms— some with Atlantic Ocean views and some overlooking the harbor and the Sea of Abaco—have simple comfortable furnishings. Luxury villas have kitchenettes, small living areas, and sunrise and sunset water views. After your complimentary pickup in Hope Town, rent your own boat so you can zoom into town or to the smaller neighboring cays. The bar is a lively spot for guests and locals to mingle and for couples to watch the magenta sunsets. Ask for a table on the enclosed patio overlooking the ocean. 

Each of these fully equipped, beautifully appointed two- and three-bedroom cottages boasts a stunning view of the Sea of Abaco, and all are situated on the vast property in a way that creates privacy and a sense of true exclusivity. If you want the space and flexibility of a rental vacation but still yearn for the amenities and service that come with a resort stay, this is the place for you. Free dockage is offered with rental, and there are two pools and one of the top restaurants in The Abacos on-site. 

Watch the hustle and bustle (relatively speaking, of course) of Hope Town from this spot across the harbor. When you feel the need to join in the activity or explore the quaint town and surrounding island of Elbow Cay, just catch the on-demand complimentary speedboat shuttle. Most of the rooms and suites at this small but lovely hotel at the base of the lighthouse have kitchens, and there's no additional charge to dock a small rental boat. Two pools, a restaurant, a bar, and a tiny harborside beach spread over 15 acres guarantee you'll find a secluded spot.
