The Abaco Club Debuts Exciting New Amenities as Southworth Invests in Next-Level Member Experiences
May 14, 2025
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. Fringed by a pristine two-mile stretch of white sand and turquoise sea, this intimate enclave invites families and friends to slow down and reconnect in a setting that feels worlds away from the ordinary.
From sunrise strolls on the beach to sunset gatherings at the ocean-view Tip Top Sunset Deck bar, each day at The Abaco Club unfolds with barefoot ease and timeless elegance.
Golfers will find their sanctuary in The Abaco Club’s championship course, consistently ranked the #1 golf course in The Bahamas. Designed to challenge and inspire, this dramatic links-style course winds its way along the coast, delivering breathtaking ocean vistas with every swing.
But golf is just the beginning. The club’s waterfront location is a gateway to aquatic adventure. Members can cast off from the Yacht Club and Marina for thrilling boating excursions, reel in trophy bonefish on a guided flats fishing trip, or head offshore in pursuit of marlin. For those who prefer to stay closer to shore, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking offer equally memorable ways to explore the island’s crystalline waters.
