This 13-acre island is located in the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas and takes its name from its interesting shape and the amount of bonefish in this region. Over the past 7 years this formerly deserted island was turned into a first-class getaway. Five buildings totalling 15,000 square feet were constructed of the finest materials imported from Europe and the United States. The entire complex is hurricane-proof. The property is fully air-conditioned, and Abaco 28 generates its own electricity and has its own desalination plant. All communication services (telephone, fax, internet) are provided. A newly and very solidly built jetty and several boats are included with the island. Abaco 28 has two long, sandy beaches and paths over the island. There are many shells and native plants, so the scenery makes for a lovely stroll. Take a swim at low tide around the island's own coral reef and see the multitude of coral and fish. Or you can paddle out in ocean-going kayaks and see dolphins. The area around Abaco 28 is famous as a fisherman's paradise. There are many (high) trees and very dense vegetation on this 13.5 acre island as well as large areas of grassland. Approximately two thirds of this island are a natural bird sanctuary. Many birds live in this “untouched” part of Abaco 28, from honeybee birds to pelicans. A discovery trail goes all around the island … for nature lovers or J Pod runners! The south beach is the “lounge chair” beach. The west and north beaches are also spectacular. From the north side of the island to the coral barrier there are several square miles of unspoiled coral reef and sea (max 10 ft. deep), which is the absolute paradise for snorkeling and diving in crystal clear water. The big fish are right behind the barrier. You can take the kayaks and meet the very present dolphins in the Gulf of Abaco. A remote control system allows the captain approaching the island to command generators and boatlifts from his boat. Two high capacity boatlifts and a davit boatlift allow boats and passengers to board the island in very comfortable and safe conditions. The jetty – 50 ft. long and 10 ft. width – was built strong enough to support a loaded truck with cement. In the dining area the very long glass table seats 14 (or 18 with four acrylic padded folding chairs). Breakfast, lunch and dinner have all got different linen and porcelain (some porcelain was specially made for Abaco 28). The tableware and silverware will honour the work of any chef! The 30 foot high cathedral ceilings made of cypress wood lend majesty to the main house. The centre of the main lodge is the 28 ft. fully equipped maple bar. The beautiful 9 ft. maple pool table and the poker table (with a bumper/pinpool table inside), as well as the DJ sound system, light machine, karaoke machine guarantee entertainment! The very comfortable TV area offers a large Philips TV screen, Bose home theatre, direct TV and 120 DVD movies.
