The Caribbean Island vacation people dream of typically has the same allures and creates the same portrait, with perhaps a few minor differences. The brushstrokes are often similar for all who consider going to The Bahamas – clear oceanic waters, white sugary sand shores and the sprawling resort. The picture basically paints itself. Add a five-day or week-long respite from the demands of work life, and you’ve got the outline of a perfect Bahamian vacation. But what if one dreamed bigger? What if the getaway wasn’t for the standard five to seven days, but instead for as long as one’s schedule allowed?

The Abaco Club, set on the white beach of Winding Bay, is the Bahamas’ most exclusive property—with an 18-hole oceanside links golf course—open only to owners of homes inside the community, members of other Southworth communities (including Creighton Farms outside D.C.), and guests of these homeowners and members.

THE ABACO CLUB, an exclusive lifestyle club and resort-style community situated along the shores of Winding Bay in the Bahamas, has plans to add 36 beachfront villa residences known as The Cays. Developed and managed by Southworth Development, the private Bahamian club’s expansion also includes a beach club with an oceanfront pool, new wellness offerings, and an alfresco restaurant, The Beach House.
