The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island

Steeped in history and natural beauty, Amelia Island is not just home to museums, forts, nature paths, eco-tours and golf courses, but to a treasure trove of attractions and activities to keep you enthralled from one gorgeous sunrise to the next. In and on the water, resort guests can learn to surf or stand-up paddle, explore the island by boat or kayak or relax at the oceanfront pool. The 18-hole championship golf course also takes advantage of the beachfront setting to offer challenging and scenic play. 

The resort’s oceanfront setting provides both the view and the inspiration. Surrender to the rhythm of the island and the ebb and flow of the sea with signature spa services that combine touch therapy, gentle rocking and the illusion of zero gravity to echo the movements of the tide; relax with the therapeutic healing bath, which uses a vigorous sea salt exfoliation to stimulate circulation. Chakra balancing, reflexology, meditation and yoga are also incorporated into the spa experience along with a healing saltwater pool.
