Travelers who want to feel like they’re summering at a friend’s beachfront estate will thoroughly appreciate the laid-back vibe of the Potlatch Club on the isle of Eleuthera. The lush property has only 11 keys on 12 acres, a seamless service team who’ve worked together for more than 20 years at other hotels, and a cluster of storied structures, some of which date back to 1923. In the 1950s, after the property was purchased by a trio of socialites, it became a private hideaway for celebrities like Paul McCartney, who honeymooned here with Linda in 1969. Current owners Bruce Loshusan and his business partner Hans Febles began work on the resort in 2016; Loshusan recruited Nassau-based interior designer Amanda Lindroth to help produce the dreamy, relaxed atmosphere that encompasses what people find enchanting about island life: white shiplap ceilings, pink coral stone floors that extend to the bathrooms, and cozy wooden porches with rattan daybeds and chairs. From $775. —Alexandra Sanidad
