This 25-room resort offers pastel cottages scattered among the trees above a three-mile beach of pink-hued sand.

Spacious guestrooms feature furnished terraces with ocean and tropical garden views.

A beachside bar serves local specialties, while a romantic restaurant offers East Indian, Moroccan, and Balinese ambience.

One of the boutique resorts developed by Island records founder Chris Blackwell, Pink Sands attracts an international clientele, including celebrities, by providing secluded, private accommodations on Harbour Island, an uncrowded beach, and romantic dining. The resort is set in a gently hilly 18-acre tropical forest and features dense gardens, fieldstone walls, and pebble-and-concrete paths.

Amenity highlights: A sand path through seagrape-covered dunes leads to an east-facing, 3-mile beach of pinkish sand washed by the turquoise Atlantic. On the beach, resort guests are provided with thatched shades and lounge chairs. Use of snorkeling gear, kayaks, and boogie boards is complimentary. The resort's swimming pool is bordered by trees and flower pots, and overlooks the ocean. Above the pool deck, a pavilion offers shaded relaxation.

Guests wandering through the resort's forested grounds find lawn-covered clearings and tropical-tree groves with chairs and benches. These secluded areas are ideal for intimate conversation and leisurely contemplation.
