Nature activities galore at the Amelia Island Plantation, including four championship golf courses and Har-Tru tennis courts, all nestled between acres of ancient live oaks.
EXPERIENCE
Nature embodies all that is Amelia: 1,350 acres of centuries-old live oaks, salt marshes, and miles of beachfront. Happily, a respect for nature is reflected in the hotel's sound environmental practices, from towels to golf courses.
Rooms have private balconies that face the ocean (have an early-morning breakfast while watching the sunrise), while villas have one, two, or three bedrooms. As a member of the coveted Florida Green Lodging Program, Amelia has strict environmental standards.
Speaking of environment, the Amelia offers excellent nature programs. Catch a glimpse of a great blue heron as you go kayaking. Bike alongside salt marshes and woodlands. Kids can catch crabs or go on shark tooth hunts.
With 72 championship holes, Amelia is routinely named a "Silver Medal Golf Resort" by Golf Magazine. (It's part of the Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.) There are also 23 Har-Tru clay courts - pros who have played here include Andre Agassi.
