Pink Sands
Sound a little too sleepy? Well, there is live entertainment in the evenings sometimes, including a nonagenarian called Dr Seabreeze who has been playing old Bahamian tunes every Tuesday night for as long as anyone can remember. There is action in the main house at night, where Alki the bartender mixes up a mean cocktail and will entertain you for hours with his stories. Still, it is not, perhaps, the ideal place for the restless; at Pink Sands, tranquility and politesse reign. All the same, some guests move in for as long as a month. And those guests, by the way, include Annie Leibovitz, Keith Richards, Martha Stewart and just about everyone in between. Obviously, tranquility enjoys the adoration of a diverse mix of fans.
There’s the sweet smell of jasmine—which grows on the property in profusion—at night. There’s a sleigh bed in the lobby, with hundreds of pillows to sink into. There’s the aroma-therapeutically soothing rosemary mint shampoo in your bathroom cabinet, and a porch swing on which to rock. And of course there are the stretches of surreally rose-tinted beach.
If it could calm a Rolling Stone, it could probably calm you. The choicest room is the Bimini Villa, with its private jacuzzi and teak patio. But the best thing about Pink Sands? The lighting. Lighting at Pink Sands is all candles and soft apricot lamps, under which it is simply impossible not to look fabulous. And if that doesn’t put your mind at ease, nothing will.
