The Abaco Club in The Bahamas Announces $350M Transformation

The Abaco Club, a 500-acre exclusive private club on Great Abaco Island in The Bahamas, is in the midst of a $350 million transformation, representing one of the largest recent private club investments in the Caribbean. With new luxury residences, high-end amenities and headline-worthy updates, including a new putting course designed by PGA legend Darren Clarke, the club’s renewed identity redefines the future of multi-generational island escapes.

Building on the momentum of its nearly sold-out neighborhood, The Cays, the club recently unveiled The Green, a new enclave of turnkey golf-front residences along the 14th green of the award-winning golf course. These three-bedroom, single-level homes are designed in an island-colonial style with sweeping fairway views, open-concept layouts, and full-width porches for indoor-outdoor living.

This fall, members will also enjoy a new beach club and racquet facility, along with curated experiences including golf tournaments on the #1 golf course in The Bahamas, e-foiling on the calm turquoise waters of Winding Bay and lobster hunting excursions. With Great Abaco Island known as “the Mt. Everest of cave diving,” the club also offers curated adventures for members to dive in its rare and famed “blue holes.” Heavily amenitized and programmed, The Abaco Club is where laidback Bahamian beauty meets active, family-friendly luxury.

The Abaco Club is developed and managed by Southworth, a family-owned leader in private club communities, and members can enjoy reciprocal privileges across all of Southworth’s award-winning private club communities.

NEW AMENITIES:

  • “Wake Field” sports field: Completed late last year, Wake Field is a new venue for wiffle ball, kickball and outdoor movie nights. It is named after former MLB player and Abaco Club member Tim Wakefield and patterned after Boston’s historic Fenway Park.
  • New beach club, The Bay Club: Set to celebrate its grand opening in fall 2025, 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, the premier amenity features a resort-style infinity edge pool and hot tub, bar with toes-in-the-sand cocktails and amenity-laden clubhouse, with a first-floor lounge, outdoor cigar lounge, cinema and game room, boutique and an exclusive, adults-only member lounge.
  • New racquet facility, The Stables: Estimated for completion in October 2025, The Stables features four new tennis courts, four padel courts, a racquet pro shop, a three-acre park and 50,000-square-foot pond with a fishing dock.
  • The Cays: A true expression of beachfront living, The Cays is nearly sold out of Phase 1. Designed by AvroKO, these villas embrace authentic Bahamian architecture and an unparalleled island lifestyle with stunning waterfront views. There is one residence remaining in Phase 1, priced at $5.7M. Phase 2 is anticipated to launch summer 2025.
  • The Green: The Abaco Club’s newest neighborhood, The Green, is an enclave of turnkey golf-front homes, located directly on the 14th hole of the golf course. This collection of cottages – with interior packages by Restoration Hardware – provide breathtaking views of the fairways and convenient access to racquet sports at The Stables, El Diablo putting course and Wake Field sports field. The three-bedroom residences start at $2.925M.
