The Potlatch Club Is a Dream Bahamas Getaway

 

If you’re dreaming of a getaway that feels equal parts old-school glamour and modern-day ease, let me introduce you to your next obsession: The Potlatch Club on Eleuthera.

 

 

Originally opened in the late 1960s, Potlatch was the Bahamas’ best-kept secret—a retreat for royalty, rock stars, and artists looking for barefoot luxury.

 

 

And now, after decades of quiet, it’s back and better than ever—thanks to longtime friends Bruce Loshusan and Hans Febles, who lovingly restored the property after discovering it in 2016.

 

 

Tucked along a stretch of pink sand beach (yes, it’s really that pink), this 11-room boutique resort has been thoughtfully revived,

 

 

keeping its mid-century charm while adding just the right touch of today’s comforts.

 

 

Think shiplap walls, stone floors, local artwork, and sweeping views that make you feel like you’ve stepped into your own private postcard.

 

​

 

A charming library offers guests a cozy space to unwind with a selection of books and a baby grand piano, all set against the backdrop of the resort’s elegant interiors.

 

 

Along with vintage photos, you will even find a framed copy of Paul McCartney’s lyrics for “Bathroom Window” penned on the Potlatch Club notepaper.

 

 

Each room feels like its own serene hideaway—whether you’re tucked into a Garden-view Cottage, gazing at the ocean from your Ocean-front suite, 

 

 

or settling into the private four-bedroom Pineapple House with your crew. Every space is stylish but unfussy, designed to make you feel at home (if home came with pink sands and endless sea breezes).

 

 

The Fig Tree restaurant

 

 

serves up fresh, bright dishes

 

 

with a little island flair —

 

 

 perfect after a day spent lounging by the pool or kayaking.

 

 

And if relaxation is more your thing,

 

 

the spa treatments are simple and soothing, just like the island itself.

 

 

Potlatch isn’t flashy. It’s peaceful, personal, and a little bit magical—like the kind of place you’d return year after year,

 

 

where everyone knows your name and your favorite drink.

 

 

It’s not just a vacation; it’s a memory in the making.

 

 

Thank you for your warm hospitality—your gorgeous hotel exceeded every expectation, and we truly couldn’t have had a better time.

So if you’re packing your bag for Eleuthera—or just daydreaming about it—I’d love for you to bring along a copy of Beach House Rules, my new novel releasing May 27th.

 

 

It’s the perfect companion for a pink sand afternoon!
