Abaco doesn’t try to sell itself, largely because it doesn’t have to. There are no big reveals or dramatic arrivals, no sense that you’ve landed somewhere built to impress you all at once. On Great Abaco Island, things unfold slowly, and along a quiet stretch of Winding Bay sits The Abaco Club, a place that feels less like a resort and more like a very well-located community.

The Bay Club, just opened in fall 2025, is one of the newest amenities unveiled as part of a $350 million transformation, representing one of the largest recent private club investments in the Caribbean. The Bay Club is a brand new central gathering place for the community located on the club’s pristine two-mile stretch of white sand beach.

Some places are beautiful, and some places feel like a secret whispered just to you. The Abaco Club—a private, 500-acre retreat on Great Abaco Island—manages to be both. It’s a sanctuary where “barefoot luxury” isn’t a slogan; it’s a way of life. A place where the turquoise water looks airbrushed, the homes blend effortlessly into nature, and every person, from members to staff, welcomes you as if you’ve always belonged.

Speaking of tacos … On a recent visit to the Abaco Club in the Bahamas, I heard talk of a taco truck parked out near the beach, just beyond the golf course’s fifth hole. I also heard that those tacos had a cult following amongst the club’s members. Frankly, that was all I needed to hear.

Just a short hop or sail from South Florida, The Abaco Club in The Bahamas feels a world away in the best possible sense. The transition is almost immediate. Shoulders drop. Time slows. The noise fades. Set on 500 acres between gently swaying palms and brilliant Bahamian blues, The Abaco Club isn’t about packing in experiences (although there are plenty!). It’s about giving yourself permission to pause.

There are places in the world where luxury and natural beauty come together so seamlessly that it feels less like a vacation and more like stepping into a dream. On Great Abaco Island in The Bahamas, The Abaco Club embodies this rare combination. Tucked along a pristine crescent of white sand known as Winding Bay, this 500-acre private paradise is not just a destination, but a way of life.

Nestled within The Cays, the newest neighborhood at The Abaco Club on Great Abaco Island, Beach Flat B1 blends refined design with beachfront tranquility. This 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence offers 3,042 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space—anchored by a secluded private garden courtyard and framed by sweeping ocean views.

Set on 500 pristine and priceless acres, The Abaco Club on Winding Bay is already one of the Bahamas’ most alluring retreats. With a series of impressive, multimillion-dollar upgrades set to debut by the end of the year, the private residential and golf club with its world-class, 18-hole oceanside links is about to become even more exclusive.

Tucked away on the sun-soaked shores of Great Abaco Island in The Bahamas lies a 500-acre retreat where barefoot luxury meets unspoiled natural beauty – The Abaco Club. This members-only paradise is a private world of serene escape. Here, members and homeowners reside in artfully designed island-inspired residences that echo the laid-back sophistication of Bahamian life.
