The Landing

Frommer's Review

This intimate inn is understated, tasteful, and lovely. Virtually destroyed by a hurricane in 1999, it was well restored by its owners. India Hicks, the daughter of the famed London decorator David Hicks, has taken over, drawing much of England to Harbour Island. She is the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten of Burma (grandson of Queen Victoria) and was a bridesmaid to the Princess of Wales at her wedding to Charles. The first doctor on Harbour Island built the house in the 1850s as his private residence. It's set within a pair of stone- and clapboard-sided buildings constructed in the early 1800s, located close to the piers where ferryboats arrive from Eleuthera. A veranda looks out over the harbor. Accommodations are breezy, airy, and high-ceilinged, and they open onto wraparound verandas, which seem to expand the living space within. Expect bold, cheerful island colors and design touches that evoke the seafaring days of old Harbour Island. The bathrooms are large and tiled, with tubs and showers.
