ABACO: ELBOW REEF

I n the heart of the Abaco Islands, where azure waters meet the sun-kissed sands, a story of resil- ience and renewal unfolds in the form of Elbow Reef, a newly opened boutique hotel and event space in Hope Town. The brainchild of Mike and Hanna, a couple who embraced Hope Town as their home after Hurricane Dorian’s devastation, the property stands as a testament to their com- mitment to the community’s revival. What was once a single-family estate shattered by the ferocious hurricane has now been reimagined and transformed into an exquisite 8-room boutique hotel, perched high in the dunes overlooking White Sound and the mesmerizing Sea of Abaco. The property’s strategic elevation not only offers breathtaking views but also captures the essence of island living with an infinity pool gazing out toward the vast ocean. Beyond its picturesque setting, Elbow Reef boasts a large deep-water dock capable of accommodating ves- sels up to 80 feet. This feature positions the hotel as an ideal destination for yachters exploring the Abaco waters. The property’s popularity extends to hosting weddings, private parties, and events, with the capa- bility of handling groups as large as 150 people. The allure of full buyouts, complete with a dedicated staff, chefs, and bartenders, elevates the experience for those seeking an exclusive island retreat.
