“The goal of The Island House is to offer travelers a personalized Bahamas experience with unique programming, one they can’t find at more mainstream resorts,” said Lauren Holowesko, director of The Island House. “The hotel will embody the local spirit of the island; a place of celebrated food, esteemed art and overall wellbeing.”
