Luxury travel deal of the week: Bahamas

If golf and time at the ocean mean an ideal vacation, then consider the Ritz-Carlton Abaco Club in the Bahamas.

This luxury getaway (roughly a 30-minute plane ride from Miami) has one of world’s best golf courses – a seaside, Scottish-style links course designed by legendary course architects Donald Steel and Tim Mackenzie. On-site amenities include a spa, gourmet dining, club house, horseback riding and tennis. Tip: Book a sunset horseback ride by the ocean before dinner, or after a spa treatment. You can also take a walk down the Abaco Club’s two-mile, white sand beachfront.

Luxury accommodations are plentiful with cabanas by the ocean and multi-room cottages by the club house.

The Abaco Club is for members only but is running a special where potential members can stay and get a personal feel for the level of luxury and exclusivity the Abaco Club offers.

The Abaco Club has two packages:

Stay two nights and get the third free for a total of four consecutive nights $520), or purchase four nights and get three complimentary, for a total of seven consecutive nights ($1850). These specials are valid through December 15, 2009.
