SEE BELOW FOR AIRPORT CODES FOR REFERENCE: North Eleuthera, Bahamas (ELH) – preferred airport with most flight options (20 minutes from resort) Governor’s Harbor Airport, Bahamas (GHB) – (50 minutes from resort) Rock Sounds Airport (RSD) Nassau, Bahamas (NAS) Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (FLL) Miami, Florida (MIA)
First option, and usually the most cost effective option is to fly into Nassau International Airport (NAS), which has recently been expanded and renovated. Once there, travelers can make a relatively inexpensive short 15 minute connecting flight with one of the three airlines that provide regular service to Eleuthera: Pineapple Air (recommended), Southern Air (recommended) and BahamasAir. These airlines do not code share with any carriers coming into Nassau, so travelers will need to book these flights separately.
Many guests also choose a private charter from Nassau to ELH. We recommend Bahamas Hoppers, Trans Island Airways (conventional and seaplane), and Sea Bird (Seaplane). When they provide service American and Delta are the best options flying direct into ELH.

Once in Nassau – you have four possible options for travel to get to Eleuthera: Pineapple Air Southern Air Bahamas Air Bahamas Fast Ferries are not recommended as they do not actually stop in Eleuthera, but on adjacent islands of Spanish Wells and Harbor Island. From there you take a water taxi to Eleuthera and then a 30 minute taxi to the resort. From Europe, the best way to fly is via British Air or Virgin Air to Nassau, then one of the three connecting airlines to get to Eleuthera.
From Canada, the best way to fly is West Jet or Air Canada. Direct flights from Toronto.
