Billed as an international sporting club, The Abaco Club on Winding Bay in The Bahamas invites visitors to trade winter’s chill for warm sunshine. The club’s membership options include cottage villas, estate home sites, single-level flats and cabana suites, offering a range of accommodations to suit families, couples and individuals seeking an active, relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Dining at The Abaco Club ranges from casual to refined. The Cliff House provides an elegant evening setting for cocktails and fresh seafood, while members can also arrange private meals prepared by a dedicated catering chef in the comfort of their own residence. For a laid-back atmosphere, Flippers Beach Bar serves breakfast, lunch and themed dinners in a bistro-style setting, with a popular Wednesday night barbecue complemented by live music.
The club centers on outdoor pursuits. Golfers can play on a top-rated Bahamian course, and tennis players will find well-maintained courts for practice and matches. On the water, the Sea of Abaco offers exceptional boating among offshore barrier islands and around a 120-mile reef system that shelters abundant marine life. Plans are underway to create dedicated boat slips in Little Harbour for residents, enhancing access to boating opportunities and island hopping.
Water-based activities in the calm, clear waters of Winding Bay are plentiful. Snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding are popular for exploring reefs and shallow coves, while Hobie Cat sailing and FunCat electric catamarans provide a more active way to enjoy the sea. For relaxation, members can unwind in a water hammock or spend a leisurely afternoon at nearby island hotspots.
Local culture and community events add to the appeal. A favorite weekend outing is the pig roast at Nipper’s Beach Bar & Grill on Great Guana Cay, an informal, festive gathering that showcases the region’s island vibe. Whether seeking energetic outdoor recreation or peaceful seaside downtime, The Abaco Club on Winding Bay offers a balanced mix of amenities, dining and marine access to suit a range of lifestyles.
