Flint will spearhead all aspects of The Abaco Club as it undergoes its transformation, prioritising service excellence, elevating member experiences, and establishing a dynamic and skilled team.
Born and raised in Jamaica, Flint brings a wealth of experience, with over 35 years in the luxury club and resort industry. Since starting his career with The Ritz-Carlton Hotels in 1987, Flint has ascended through the ranks, initially on the food & beverage side, honing his expertise at luxury establishments such as Boca Raton Club & Resort, Delano Hotel in Miami, Sanderson & St. Martin’s Lane Hotels in London, and PPHE Hotel Group.
After transitioning to operations management, Flint’s career includes leadership roles at The Albany in The Bahamas and, most recently, Mövenpick Hotel & Residences and Muthaiga Country Club in Nairobi, Kenya.
“We are thrilled to welcome Michael to The Abaco Club,” said Southworth President Tommy Southworth. “His extensive experience leading prestigious member- and guest-focused organizations around the world, and his rich knowledge in club operations, member experience and team leadership, align perfectly with our vision of delivering a best-in-class array of services and experiences for our members.”
Originally developed by the late Peter de Savary, The Abaco Club was acquired in 2014 from Ritz-Carlton by Southworth Development. It boasts a 7,123-yard, 18-hole championship links-style course designed by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie which first opened for play in 2004.
