Albany is a resort in New Providence, The Bahamas. Described as “one of the most exclusive resorts in the world” by Forbes, it counts golf legends Tiger Woods and Ernie Els and singer Justin Timberlake among its founders, while its members also include other stars from the worlds of golf and entertainment, from Ian Poulter and Justin Rose to Will Smith and Kate Hudson. It is named after Albany House, a historic pink colonial mansion in The Bahamas. Albany boasts an 18-hole championship golf course – designed by Els – that combines the features of both links and desert courses to unique effect, a luxury hotel, spa and fitness centre, restaurants, a mega-yacht marina and much more.
