Holidays at The Cove
Escape the frenzy this holiday season and rediscover the quiet luxury of time unfolding. Blue Mind Season at The Cove Eleuthera is a celebration of simplicity, serenity and the soothing rhythm of the sea.
Inspired by the calming effect of water and the art of letting go, you are invited to trade stresses of the season for ocean breezes, hectic schedules for barefoot sunsets and to-do lists for tropical tranquility.
Whether you’re sipping cocktails under swaying palms, enjoying an unhurried beachfront dinner, or finding stillness in a morning paddle, Blue Mind Season is your invitation to embrace joy without the noise — to celebrate connection, presence and peace.
Let the holidays feel like a holiday again. Welcome to Blue Mind Season.
A Thanksgiving to Truly Savor
This Thanksgiving, The Cove brings a refreshing twist to tradition — one where gratitude flows as freely as the island breeze and every moment is designed to soothe. Join us for a sun-drenched celebration of togetherness, where the only thing you’ll need to prepare is your appetite.
Enjoy Caribbean-inspired barbecue on Thanksgiving Day with lobster tail, barbecue pork ribs and blackened Mahi skewers, all accompanied by live entertainment. After dinner, join us on the beach for roasting marshmallows and sweet surprises with the ones who matter most — all without the stress, cleanup or chilly weather.
Thanksgiving reimagined — peaceful, present, and perfectly relaxed. This is gratitude in its most relaxed form.
Tree Lighting Ceremony
On December 12, join us for a tropical tree lighting ceremony with live music from a local choir. Then, with guidance from our expert craft team, learn the simple art of creating seasonal gifts with natural items collected from the shoreline. During your time in our private paradise, you may experience the rare joy and freedom of the holiday season without the stress.
Hanukkah Festivities

While in residence in our secluded sanctuary, there’s no hurry, just the quiet luxury of time unfolding.

Sustainable Seasonal Decor
In celebration of the festive season, our decorations reflect both the spirit of the holidays and our deep respect for the natural beauty of our island home. With a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, we craft our decor from thoughtfully gathered materials — including natural elements and ocean-washed treasures found along our nearby shores.
We consciously avoid synthetic, petroleum-based products and single-use items, recognizing their lasting impact on delicate ecosystems and our limited island resources. Instead, we embrace creativity rooted in sustainability, ensuring that our holiday celebrations remain in harmony with the environment we are privileged to call home.
