Meetings & Retreats

Two beaches, one small island, and nowhere else to be.

Abaco Inn sits on the narrowest part of Elbow Cay, with the Atlantic on one side and the Sea of Abaco on the other. Groups take the whole of it.

26

rooms, cottages and villas

2

private beaches, a pool between them

50 ft

complimentary dockage

~45 min

flight from Florida to Marsh Harbour

A small property that a group can simply take over.

Twenty-six keys, one restaurant, one pool, and a staff who will know everyone by the second morning. There is no conference floor here and no attempt at one — which is the reason people book it.

A stay, in order

From the ferry to the last evening.

Arrival

Everyone lands within the same hour.

Fly into Marsh Harbour, then a twenty-minute ferry to Hope Town and a short taxi over the hill. Boats come alongside instead: dockage to fifty feet is complimentary.

Where you gather

A long table under a roof, with the sides open.

Sessions happen on covered porches and around villa kitchens. Bring a screen if you need one — but the useful conversations here tend to happen at the table, not in front of it.

The table

Caribbean seafood, served over the water.

The restaurant has an indoor room and a deck built out above the Sea of Abaco. A group of any size on this property eats together, because there is one kitchen and one deck.

Between sessions

Ninety seconds from the table to the water.

The freshwater pool sits on the point between the two beaches. Atlantic surf on one side, flat water on the other, and the walk to either takes about a minute.

Out for the afternoon

The island is three miles long and worth all of it.

Hope Town and its candy-striped lighthouse are a short ride north; Tahiti Beach appears at low tide to the south. The inn runs a Fisherman’s Catch trip and partners with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology on birding.

Evening

The sun sets on the Sea of Abaco side.

Drinks on the deck, and then whatever the group decides. Nobody is driving anywhere.

Where everyone sleeps

Rooms, cottages, and villas that hold a team.

Thirteen rooms and cottages along the ridge, and thirteen Sunset Point villas with thirty-one bedrooms between them. In-room massage can be arranged for any of them.

    On the point, with kitchens and decks

Abaco Inn does not publish seated or standing capacities for its restaurant, deck or villas. Rather than estimate them here, ask — the team will give you a real number for the layout you have in mind.

Exclusive use

The whole inn, for a few days

Twenty-six keys, the restaurant, the pool and both beaches, with no other guests on the property. Whole-property enquiries go straight to the collection office.

Fisherman’s Catch

The group goes out, brings back what it catches, and the kitchen cooks it for dinner that evening. It is the single most reliable way to get a team talking to each other.

The White Sound Club, then Fin and Tonic, and — since the late 1970s — Abaco Inn.

Roughly seventy-five years on the same strip of cay. It had the island’s first telephone.

Getting here

Further than most offsites. That is the point.

  1. Fly

    Marsh Harbour (MHH) is roughly 45 to 70 minutes from Florida — 190 miles of open water.

  2. Ferry

    Fourteen weekday crossings to Hope Town. About $15 one way, $25 return.

  3. Taxi

    Fifteen minutes over the hill to White Sound. $15 to $40 depending on the group.

  4. Or arrive by boat

    Complimentary dockage for vessels up to fifty feet.
