Happy Tuesday, y’all! We absolutely adore Harbour Island and always get a bunch of questions about our favorite spots and recommendations, so as promised we are sharing those today! We’ve also included a roundup in the gallery below that features our latest island-inspired favorite finds!

The Dunmore and Ocean View Club are both beautiful hotels, and Coral House is a perfect spot for groups and families (a 2,500 sf home with a private pool) that is owned by Chassity of Look Linger Love…it can be booked on VRBO here! Chatterbox is another darling rental house, and the oh-so-stylish India Hicks offers multiple homes that are available for rent on the island!

We love Da Vine for sushi; breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Dunmore (so charming and designed by our friend Amanda Lindroth!); and don’t miss the pancakes at Sweet Spot Café! Dunmore Deli has yummy beach sandwiches; the restaurants at the Pink Sands Resort (built in 1951 as the first resort on Harbour Island’s pink sand beach!) are great; try Sip Sip for lunch (when it reopens!); and head to Aquapazza for Italian and seafood. Be sure to make reservations in advance whenever possible since these spots tend to fill up. For late-night cocktails and dancing, head to Daddy D’s and Gusty’s (the sand floors are a fun touch!).

Our favorite shopping spots on the island are Shine, Blue Rooster, the Sugar Mill (owned by India Hicks, who also wrote a beautiful book about Harbour Island!), Dake’s Shoppe and Princess Street Gallery (featuring wonderful original works by Bahamian artists).

When you’re booking your Harbour Island getaway, do be aware that some businesses close during late summer and fall for hurricane season, and you’ll also want to stay updated on COVID travel requirements and regulations via the official government health site.

We’ve included a bunch of our favorites below that are perfect for Harbour Island or whenever you want a little bit of island style in your wardrobe! Tory Burch just launched her newest collection today and it includes pretty kaftans and swimwear, and we’re loving the Ratti seashell print that J.Crew just released! We’ve also mixed in finds for around the home, in natural fibers and block prints that we just can’t get enough of. Today is the final day of Serena & Lily’s lighting sale so it’s the perfect time to snap up new lamps and fixtures to give your space an easy refresh, and clearance items at Ballard Designs are an additional 30% off today only!
