Valentines Residences Resort & Marina
Harbour island’s newest luxury resort
Valentines Residences Resort & Marina is an upscale,
boutique resort located on the west side of Harbour
Island, Bahamas, a tiny spit of land that lies to the
northeast of Eleuthera. Both islands are part of the
chain’s “Out Islands.” Known for their pristine, natural
beauty and mild climate, the Out Islands of the Baha-
mas are tourist meccas, drawing visitors from all over
the world.
Harbour Island was first settled by the British over 300
years ago. Clean, blue waters surround the island and
a pink sand beach graces its eastern coast. The island,
itself, is drenched in hibiscus, palm, bougainvillea, jas-
mine, and other lush, tropical flowers and plants. Dun-
more Town, the island’s only city, once served as the
first capital of the Bahamas. It was named after John
Murray, the 4th Earl of Dunmore, who served as gover-
nor from 1786 to 1798. The town is a unique blend of
New England architecture and Caribbean color.
Valentines is Harbour Island’s newest luxury resort.
Its Vice President and Managing Director is Dean
