Glynn County, Georgia has provided an unforgettable experience for over 90 years, with its famous Sea Island Resort.
Approximately a five hour drive from Atlanta lies this resort that offers accommodation that makes guests feel at home.
- This is the only resort in the world that has earned four Forbes Five-Star awards in 15 successive years.
The Cloister & The Inn
Starting with their most legendary hotel known as The Cloister, their ambient Lodge, and their private cottage rentals, guests have a variety of options to tend to their preferences. Nearby lies The Inn, which meets the goal of rustic and gracious accommodation, and the sheltered wilderness of Broadfield which offers fishing, seasonal hunting, and sporting opportunities.
The resort presents a surplus of activities, where guests can go from playing tennis and golfing on a championship course one day to horseback riding and sailing the next.
The opportunities are endless, and to finish a rewarding day of fun the resort provides enticing dining options.
The resort will accommodate convenient lunch needs at their beach club and pool restaurant that provides casual options so guests will not be interrupted from their perfect day in the sun.
Depending on what food guests might desire there are several dinner options to choose from, such as heavenly cooked seafood at the Southern Tide, the delectable southern cuisine at the Oak Room, or the rich Italian fare at Tavola.
A Day In The Resort
In the morning guests can participate in fitness classes, sports lessons, nature tours, or fishing trips. For families with children, the kids can participate in a fun-filled day of experiences around the resort at Camp Cloister. Examples of mid-day to evening activities at Sea Island are stand-up paddleboarding lessons, marsh horseback riding, pre-dinner cocktail cruise, and a wine bar. These are just a few of the many planned activities this resort has to offer, and these change throughout the year.
Sea Island also offers a spa sitting at 65,000 feet which Elizabeth Rhodes from “Travel+Leisure” has called it a “Tranquil Oasis.”
From the entrance with the ponds and bubbling fountain to the inside where guests can sit under trees for relaxation, the aesthetic of this spa is exactly how Rhodes explained it to be.
- As adults can receive the exact leisure and relaxation they might need, the kids will be more than satisfied with the amenities this resort brings to them. Whether they are receiving some educational experience with the Sea Turtle Dawn Patrol, the resort offers kid play areas and family pools. The play areas include a clubhouse with a television and pool, an arcade, and much more. The pool has a waterslide that kids can ride on as much as they want.
When it comes to the cost at this resort, the more luxurious Cloister and Lodge offer night rates from $500-$1000 per night while The Inn typically has lower rates. The value this resort provides families, couples, people there on business, and people there for a solo trip will be remembered for decades.
