A Farm Stay with Island Soul

Tucked into the jungle just inland from The Other Side and across the bay from Harbour Island, The Farm is part boutique retreat, part working farm, and part thoughtful experiment in a slower, more connected way of living. What began with an overgrown road and a handful of wild mango trees has evolved into a flourishing sanctuary with more than 200 garden beds, free-roaming chickens, a freshwater pool, and a collection of cottages nestled among the trees. It is a place where nature sets the pace and time seems to drift a little more slowly.

Rustic Comfort in Nature

The Farm’s cottages combine understated elegance with a deep connection to their surroundings. Spacious, thatched accommodations are available in two distinct styles. The Large Cottages feature king beds, generous verandas, and open-plan living spaces designed for relaxation. The Small Cottages offer a lighter footprint and flexible configurations, with the option of either a king bed or twin beds. Both provide a peaceful retreat immersed in the sights and sounds of the island landscape.

From Garden to Table

What started as a modest farming project now supplies not only The Farm but also the kitchens across the bay. Dining revolves around fresh, local ingredients sourced from the surrounding land and sea. Seasonal vegetables are harvested from the gardens, seafood arrives from nearby waters, and tropical fruits make their way onto the menu whenever the trees are generous enough to share their bounty. The result is a simple, honest approach to dining that reflects the rhythms of the island.

Slow Living and Island Adventures

A short walk connects The Farm to The Other Side, offering easy access to the beach, paddleboards, and coastal activities. Back at The Farm, guests can unwind by the freshwater orchard pool, work out in the air-conditioned gym, or simply settle into a shaded chair beneath the trees. Days can be spent reading, napping, helping feed the chickens, tending the gardens, or doing very little at all. For those eager to explore, Eleuthera’s hidden beaches, blue holes, quiet settlements, and laid-back local gathering spots are all within easy reach, waiting to be discovered at your own pace.
