The Abaco Inn is part of the Enthusiast Hotel Collection (EHC) which focuses on those who like to travel to off-the-beaten-path destinations and prefer to stay at hotels that have a story to tell. They are a kaleidoscope of boutique hotels, inns, and travel getaways carefully chosen to delight the senses, expand the imagination, and inspire adventure. All the properties in the chain are intimate, close to nature, and offer experiences one can’t find anywhere else. Each property sources everything locally and maintain the pristine standards of their locations. Enthusiast Hotels has also partnered exclusively with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to help conserve the earth’s biological diversity and enable guests to connect with fellow ornithology enthusiasts to explore birds from California to the Bahamas.
