Eleuthera, Bahamas
Welcome to Sephora! Sephora is a newly constructed oceanfront estate with sweeping Caribbean & Atlantic views from both floors of the wraparound decks. Only one mile from Surfer’s Beach and set on one of the highest points in the Bahamas (150ft +). Only a half mile to the village of Gregory Town and one mile south of the luxury Cove resort.
An architectural “jewel box” with a juxtaposition of concrete interior walls and a pristine colorful exterior. Enjoy the serene surf vibe of the home with luxury bedding and décor, along with modern amenities. Points of color throughout the home via glass blocks and large windows emphasize the play of light in every room.
The owners' goals were to create a destination for the discriminating traveler that provides simplicity, privacy and peace surrounded by the natural beauty of the island. Gated entry to 24 acres of private land, 500ft of exclusive ocean frontage, with completely unobstructed views of the water from the house. Visit the many beaches and sites of Eleuthera and return to your tropical sanctuary central to the northern half of the island.
Following a sailing trip from Nassau to the island, the owners knew that they would return to Eleuthera. The friendly residents, the myriad water activities, fascinating history, and varied landscapes; all made the decision easy to purchase property and build. After an extensive search, they settled on the surf-friendly community of Gregory Town where the elevations offered the second highest points in the Bahamas. Sephora sits on 24 private acres with incredible views of both sides of Eleuthera. Truly magic!
The name Sephora was inspired by the famous 19th & early 20th century writer of naval adventure, Joseph Conrad. In his 1909 book, The Secret Sharer, Conrad refers to the vessel Sephora out of Liverpool. Sephora also is derived from the Greek word Sephos, meaning beauty. Beauty can be found everywhere on the island, such as the North Eleuthera Sapphire Hole.

Eleuthera is most famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. It has a small population and everyone knows everyone. It’s famous for being very safe. The snorkeling and diving on the island are world class. Bonefishing is very big, as is deep sea fishing and reef fishing. You can fish on your own or hire a guide. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, paddle boards, and jet skis. You can have a charter captain take you out for fishing, snorkeling, or diving excursions. There are several popular spots for cliff jumping, including some tame enough for children. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, dozens of beaches, each one unique, some historic churches and 19th century homes, and little villages to explore. The island is truly magical.
Sephora Pool
The 12'x20' Sephora pool is the perfect location to enjoy the sun. The pool offers a 6'x6' shallow lounging pad with a pool-spanning bench facing the Atlantic.
