about elbow reef

Elbow Reef was completely rebuilt following Hurricane Dorian that devastated Elbow Cay and many other islands in the Bahamas in 2019. It was rebuilt with all the luxuries of a hotel, but with the comfort and intimacy of a home.  Elbow Reef opened its doors in 2023 as a boutique hotel and has everything you need to unwind, including sundecks, an infinity pool, 130’ dock and private suites. 

We have created a place where guests can disconnect from the busyness of their lives and reconnect with simple pleasures - like waking up to the sounds of the ocean, sitting out in the sunshine, strolling along the pristine beachfront, or sipping on a cold drink. When you come to Elbow Reef, you can’t help but slow down to match the laid-back vibe of the island.

Book a Hotel Room

Elbow Reef has seven king rooms and one bunk room with four full beds, all with private ensuite’s. Each air-conditioned private suite at Elbow Reef is elegantly styled and meticulously maintained. The crisp, white sheets, natural timber doors, white wood walls and wide, high raked ceilings create a bright, airy space from which you can relax and soak in the sounds of the ocean.

Our bar will be open for happy hour on specified evenings and dining events may be available during your stay.
