Our Story

Where History Meets Luxury

Originally established as a haven for adventurers and seafarers in the 17th century, Eleuthera has evolved into a coveted destination known for its pristine pink sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and charming colonial architecture. French Leave Resort takes its name from the term “French leave,” which historically referred to an unexpected departure, often taken to enjoy a brief escape.

Marriott’s French Leave Resort captures the essence of this idyllic setting with its luxurious accommodations, blending modern comfort with island charm.
