History
Bahama House occupies a circa-1800 compound in the heart of colonial Dunmore Town on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Its main building began life around 1800 as a three-room mercantile shop - reputedly the island's first department store ('Muriel's') - and later became a bed-and-breakfast as tourism arrived in the 1920s.
Adventure-luxury operator Eleven Experience developed the collection of plantation-era buildings into a single boutique property, debuting it as Bahama House in December 2016. It offers 11 rooms (named for Harbour Island streets) across four buildings arranged around a courtyard pool and tiki bar, sleeping up to 22 guests. The interiors were designed by Blake Pike of London-based No. 12 Interiors, blending vintage rattan and bamboo with island craftsmanship.
