When it comes to planning a vacation, it’s important to keep every member of the family in mind when deciding where to go next.
From little ones looking for some fun pool time to your favorite four-legged friend wanting a run on the beach, you will want to find a resort that offers fun for the whole family.
That’s just what Omni Amelia Island Resort offers.
Located on the northeast coast of Florida just 45 minutes away from downtown Jacksonville, this property offers a true vacation. The location itself is breathtaking, sitting prominently on a private stretch of beach adorned with lush gardens, tall palm trees and the sound of the surf off in the distance.
Choose one of 402 guest rooms and suites outfitted with coastal décor that overlook the family friendly pools and 3.5 miles of secluded beach. Pet friendly rooms are located on the first floor for convenience. King rooms are comfortable and clean. If you are traveling with the whole family and looking for some extra space, you may want to consider a stay in one of their more spacious suites.
Upon entry, guests are wowed with a beautiful water feature near check-in that leads out to the adults-only pool. From here, you can head over to the family pool or enjoy a lounger on the nearby beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
There are nine restaurants on-site that range from a casual pizza parlor to an upscale, high-end steakhouse.
If you are looking for something in between, be sure to check out Verandah for fresh seafood and homemade pastas. Standouts here include the hot blue crab dip, warm house burrata, shrimp pappardelle, and brick-pressed red snapper. You will want to save some room for a sampling of the flavor-filled limoncello almond cake.
The property also boasts shopping, a full day spa, camp activities and arts and crafts for the kids, and 36 holes of championship golf as well as a 10-hole short course. They even have guided kayak and paddle boat tours along with Segway tours and golf cart rentals to get around the expansive property.
If you plan on taking your four-legged friend, of note is the $200 non-refundable “cleaning fee” that is applied at check-out. Other fees to be aware of include a $40 daily resort service charge, and $35 per night valet parking charge ($20 daily, if you choose to self-park).
Whether you are looking for a romantic escape or a family vacation, the breathtaking location, comfortable accommodations, and amenities designed for the entire family provide for an unforgettable experience.
Omni Amelia Island Resort is located at 39 Beach Lagoon Road in Fernandina Beach.
