The new DUNMORE on Harbour Island, Bahamas! The scene of Mary's wedding renovated and refurbished to the nines...

We have loved going to Harbour Island in the Bahamas since we were little girls.  The stunning pink sand beach that goes for miles and miles is one of the most gorgeous in the world. The turquoise water is perfect for swimming. The mode of transport (golf carts) is fun and safe.  The candy colored cottages in town are beyond cheerful.

What a perfect place for a wedding Mary thought four years ago this June!  We chose Dunmore Beach Club for the reception, one of the oldest resorts on the island as it offered old school style and charm and a sublime location-- perched right above the beach.  The wedding was truly awesome.  We returned to the same spot for another wedding a year and a half later also at Dunmore which was rather surreal-- like being a guest at your own wedding in a way!  Fantastic!

Well, the lovely Dunmore changed hands last Spring and after an extensive renovation opened last Christmas as The Dunmore.  The new owners put in a fabulous looking pool and pool house with an outdoor gym.

They "refreshed" the clubhouse and all 16 cottages while staying true to the laid back, authentic Bahamian style.  The restaurant now looks worthy of being a backdrop to the delicious food served.  We can't wait to return sometime this summer (when rates are slashed and the weather is frankly heavenly and hot!).
