One of the most underrated benefits of living on Amelia Island is that two world-class resorts sit just minutes from town — with restaurants, spas, golf courses, and beachfront amenities that residents enjoy year-round, without ever booking a room. Whether you're entertaining guests, marking an occasion, or simply enjoying an island sunset over dinner, the Omni Amelia Island and the Ritz-Carlton are part of what makes life here feel like a permanent vacation.
Sprawling across nearly 1,300 oceanfront acres at the south end of Amelia Island, the Omni Amelia Island Resort is one of the largest and most amenity-rich resort destinations in the Southeast. Originally established as Amelia Island Plantation and now operated by Omni Hotels & Resorts, the property combines preserved marshland, miles of Atlantic beach, and a residential community into a single immersive setting.
Guests and residents alike enjoy 36 championship holes of golf — including the celebrated Oak Marsh course recognized among the Top 40 in Florida — Northeast Florida's largest oceanfront pool deck, a destination spa, multiple dining concepts, and one of the finest tennis programs in the country. The Nature Center, kayak launches through preserved marshlands, and beach access via the resort's own boardwalks round out one of the most complete resort experiences on the East Coast.
Anchoring the south end of Amelia Island within the Summer Beach community, the Ritz-Carlton brings Forbes Five-Star service to a thirteen-mile stretch of Atlantic coastline. The property delivers the experience the Ritz brand is known for: an oceanfront setting, an award-winning spa, a Forbes Five-Star fine dining program, and the kind of detail that makes ordinary occasions feel meaningful.
The Summer Beach community itself is independent of the Ritz-Carlton — a residential neighborhood of villas, condominiums, and oceanfront homes that surround the resort. Residents enjoy proximity to the Ritz's restaurants, spa, and beachfront amenities, while maintaining the privacy of an established luxury enclave.
For dining, drinks, or simply an oceanfront sunset, the Ritz is the kind of resort that residents of the island visit often — and walk away from feeling like they've taken a small vacation, even if they live next door.
From oceanfront new construction minutes from the Omni to villas next door to the Ritz-Carlton — let me show you what's available on Amelia Island today.
