Located only 30 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), you’ll find one of the south’s coastal paradises and best golf resorts on the 1,350 acre Amelia Island Plantation. Just four miles north of the resort you can fly directly into the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport if you have a corporate aircraft, charter or private plane.

In keeping with the philosophy of harmony in nature, the developer’s mission took the natural environment, including flora and fauna, and protected the grasslands, savannahs, salt marshes, oceanfront dunes and maintained 70% of the tree canopy. If you’re not there to golf, you can take advantage of the barrier island’s other offerings of kayaking, birding, tennis, Segway tours or bicycling. Or, do them all. The resort offers 3-½ miles of wide uncrowded beaches framed by wild sea oats, 23 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, 23 swimming pools, a shopping village, a Health & FitnessCenter, horseback riding, several dining choices, nature tours, fishing charters and youth programs.
