Powell Pointe at Cape Eleuthera Resort & Yacht Club

During an earlier incarnation, this resort attracted some major American movers and shakers. Some of the top U.S. golfers played its Bruce Devlin/Bob van Haage 18-hole course, which now, in a much-upgraded format, winds its way along the water. In 2007, the resort was reopened as part of a sweeping real-estate development plan that incorporated a roster of ultra-upscale private homes and condos, a hotel, and the most up-to-date and best-accessorized marina on "mainland" Eleuthera. Everything is perched on the tip of a sun-flooded peninsula that juts toward Nassau and the prevailing sea lanes, and it's all flanked by 20 splendid white-sand beaches. Locals claim the deep-sea fishing is as fine as it ever was.

Accommodations are plusher and more state-of-the art than anything else in Eleuthera, easily rivaling the best lodgings on Harbour Island. A string of custom-built two-bedroom apartments lines the edges of the harbor. Each is owned by a different absentee investor but rented out as a hotel lodging. Expect spectacular kitchens with polished-stone countertops, lots of high-tech lighting, convenient washer/dryers, and supremely comfortable furniture. Depending on the floor plan, units are either all on one level or arranged as a duplex. Each has an outdoor balcony that's wide and broad enough for a private reception, and if you're tired of either Barracuda's Restaurant (unlikely) or the on-site coffee shop, modeled on a Starbucks, you can have the resort's cooks make you a private dinner within your suite.
