Welcome to Buena Vista, the grande dame of Governor’s Harbour. Perched atop the hill overlooking the historic port, this landmark home offers panoramic 360° views of Eleuthera — from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the deep blues of the Atlantic.
Once the residence of the Bahamian Governor when Eleuthera was the seat of Parliament, Buena Vista gracefully blends old-world charm with modern comforts to create a truly unforgettable island retreat.
