The Potlatch Club

Eleuthera, Bahamas

Where barefoot island living, heritage charm and quiet luxury meet on pink sand shores

At a glance

Set on 12 acres of pink sand beachfront on the island of Eleuthera, The Potlatch Club is a storied retreat that blends relaxed Bahamian elegance with a deeply personal sense of hospitality. Originally founded in 1967 as an exclusive hideaway for royalty, artists and creatives, the property has been carefully restored, preserving its heritage while embracing an understated, contemporary style.

Intimate by design, the resort encourages a slower pace of life — barefoot days by the sea, unhurried meals, and space to reconnect as a family.
