Pink Sands Resort, Harbour Island

A path through palms leads from the private cottages at The Pink Sands Resort to the famous 3-mile Pink Sand Beach, where loungers and umbrellas face the Atlantic. The resort has long been one of Harbour Island’s signature retreats, with garden cottages, oceanfront accommodations, villas, and private homes spread across tropical grounds.

The Blue Bar & Kitchen overlooks the beach and serves breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and seafood close to the sand. Dinner takes place at Malcolm 51, where indoor tables and garden seating accompany island-inspired dishes, sushi, and seasonal ingredients.

You can spend the day swimming, playing tennis, exploring Dunmore Town by golf cart, or returning to a shaded terrace outside your cottage. Larger villas add private pools, full kitchens, and additional bedrooms for families and groups. The Pink Sands Resort gives you one of Harbour Island’s best beaches, 2 strong restaurants, and several distinct ways to stay, all close to the boutiques and dining rooms of Dunmore Town.
