It's one of the most beautiful cays in The Abacos, and now it can also be the setting for the private Bahamian hideaway or resort of your dreams. Set between Spanish Cay and Manjack Cay in the Sea of Abaco, Powell Cay is just three miles northeast of the village of Coopers Town, the northernmost settlement on Great Abaco.
With a total footprint of approximately 294 acres, Powell Cay's southern 168 acres are owned by the British Crown and are set aside for a proposed nature reserve. This makes the island's other 126 acres on its north end the ideal location for a boutique resort or peaceful private retreat. This portion of the cay lies in an approximate northwest to southeast orientation, with the northern side having an Atlantic Ocean exposure and the lee side facing the Sea of Abaco with relative protection. The Northern beaches are typical of Atlantic exposure, with green mature trees and shrubs fringed with white sands sweeping along the coastline, all offering incredible views of the various blue and turquoise hues of the ocean and sea.
While offering complete tranquility, Powell Cay is also conveniently close to a nice selection of amenities and services. Just one island to the north is Spanish Cay with its beautiful and popular resort and marina, while directly across the Sea of Abaco on Great Abaco is Coopers Town, a quaint hamlet with just under 700 permanent residents and a small selection of restaurants, medical services, and other facilities. Just half an hour's drive southeast of Coopers Town is the slightly bigger Treasure Cay, while just 45 minutes away is Marsh Harbour, the largest town in The Abacos with nearly 6,300 permanent residents. Not only does Marsh Harbour have a variety of shops, travel agencies, adventure companies, and a post office, it's also home to Leonard M. Thompson International Airport, the main air hub for The Abacos, offering regular direct flights to several cities on the US mainland and across The Bahamas.
