When most of us think of pineapples, we think of the spiky fruit with succulent, golden flesh flown in all the way from Hawaii. What we don't think of is the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. It's a shame because, once upon a time, Eleuthera was revered for the production of this delicious fruit.

Pineapple Fields Hotel pays homage to the island's rich cultivating heritage. Located a short drive from the Governor's Harbour Airport, this hotel's accommodations are just as sweet as its namesake. Situated on a five-acre estate, Pinneapple Fields features 32 condos framing an onsite pool. Just steps from each doorway is a stretch of white-sand beach, complimenting a sea of turquoise waves, that beckons visitors to its shores.

When not relaxing by the waterside, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied; a visit to the Leon Levy Plant Preserve is only a short distance away. There you'll find a plethora of native plants and nature trails, one of which leads to a tower with a breathtaking view of the island. Kayaking, fishing charters, island tours, diving, and snorkelling are just a few options to keep you busy. In between trips, be sure to stop at the onsite restaurant, Tippy's, a local waterfront restaurant that offers alfresco dining. Don't miss Saturday nights at Tippy's, where Big Belly and the Haitian Sensations play the night away as they seduce you into a dancing groove under the moonlit sky.
