The Cove Eleuthera has announced the appointment of Nicholas Cooper and Sally Cooper to Managing Director and Resort Manager, respectively, of the Bahamian resort. Together, the duo brings over 30 years of management experience in tourism and hospitality.
Most recently at Gibbs Farm Safari Lodge in Tanzania, Sally and Nick, as co-general managers, oversaw this five-star resort with a working farm and coffee plantation. Prior to Gibbs, they worked in unison managing other luxury resorts on the Cook Islands in the South Pacific and in Belize.
For over a decade in Fiji, they held numerous leadership roles, including general managers for Fiji Residences, a luxury villa management company. Sally held various project management, event design and tourism positions, including National Director of Operations at Cure Kids Fiji and Director of Conferences & Events at Tourism Fiji. As owner of Ocean Charters Fiji, Nick organized exclusive sailing charters, managed operations for an online reservations service for South Pacific travel and was a marine and leisure manager at an island resort.
Prior to Fiji, the duo was based in Australia, where they honed their management skills in travel and tourism. Sally and Nick both hold Master’s Degrees in Tourism Management from University of Canberra, and Nick has an MBA from James Cook University (Australia).
The unique beauty of the Bahamas and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the country’s rich culture attracted the Coopers to The Cove. Having met over 30 years ago as scuba instructors in Tahiti, the pair have developed an affinity for aquatic adventure and island life, which they are looking forward to reflecting in their work for The Cove.
“The soft white sand and clear waters of Eleuthera paired with the gentle rhythm of life that comes from living near the ocean entices us,” said Sally Cooper. “We are excited to learn more about The Bahamas and its people, culture and history.”
