THE OTHER SIDE
The Other Side is where we went to slow down — and decided to stay.
Built quietly on the bay opposite Harbour Island, this small, solar-powered hotel began as a camping spot for our family. Over time, it became something more: a few beach tents, simple huts, and a rhythm that doesn’t ask much from you. Set on Eleuthera’s quieter shore, The Other Side offers space to paddleboard with turtles, eat from the garden, and drift into a day without much agenda. It’s not a resort. But it’s got everything that matters.
01
Our Rooms
Just the essentials, right by the water...
Our rooms are simple and open to the elements — beachside tents, hilltop shacks and sheds, and tucked-away beachfront huts. All have AC, WiFi, and views of the sea, but we leave out the extras that don’t belong: no TVs, no phones, no distractions. Just space to unwind.
02
Our restaurant
Our small, open-air restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner beneath the coconut trees or in our dining tent. Most of what’s on the menu comes from just offshore or just out back — local fishermen, farms, and our garden. It's simple grub for lunch and a little more refined at dinner. We keep it quiet and relaxed, which is why outside guests are welcome for lunch only — however during peak season, things can fill up fast, so booking ahead is always a good idea.
03
Explore
Close to everything. But far enough.
The Other Side sits just seven minutes by boat from Harbour Island — close to shops, restaurants, and night spots, but removed from the bustle.
Spend a day paddleboarding in our calm bay alongside turtles and rays, or explore Eleuthera by car: from hidden blue holes and surf spots to quiet caves and sleepy settlements. There’s always something worth finding — if you’re not in a rush.

Our story
The Other Side started with a simple idea: build something small, sustainable, and different — and build it ourselves. It carries on the story we began at Ocean View Club, where we first learned that it's ok to enjoy the simple things in life.. This chapter is set on Commonage (a sort of Bahamian reservation where the land is communally given to the descendants local islanders that went to fight the spanish in nassau in the 1700s ). We came here first with a tent and a machete — camping on weekends, slowly adding a deck, then a dock, and eventually a place to stay. When we became parents, that camping spot became something more — a chance to build a small, sustainable hotel for the future we wanted for our kids. Today, we live just next door. We take the boat across each morning to bring our kids to school, and return to a space that still feels more like home than hotel. It’s not grand. But it’s honest. And that’s the point.
If you’re looking for more, we may not be it.But if you're looking for less — less noise, less rush, less everything — we’d love to have you.

Location
The Other Side located in Bottom Harbour, Eleuthera about 8 mins away from Harbour Island. The Closest Airport is North Eleuthera (ELH) and you can get to us via Miami with American Airlines, via Atlanta with Delta, Via Fort Lauderdale with Aztec Airways The Capital of the Bahamas is Nassau and number airlines land there including British Airways, Jetblue and Spirit. From there you can use Pineapple Air, Southern Air and few charters such as Coco Seaplane, Bahama Hoppers and Golden wings. Charters from the US such as Tropic Airways and Makers Air are good options if you'd like seaplanes or a private commute into North Eleuthera.
​
Once you land in North Eleuthera you'll need to take 5 minute taxi to the port where our Tender and Captain will greet you and take on the 8 min boat ride to the Other Side hotel. Please don't ask any random boat to take to the Other Side because you'll just end up on the 'other side' ie harbour island. (Very confusing we know) Alternatively (and in adverse weather or if you have aversion to boats...) one can take a 15 minute land taxi to our facility.
