The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, Florida

Set along the pristine white sands of Florida’s barrier islands, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island is the crown jewel of the northeast Florida coast and perfect for a warm-weather beach escape. Just a short flight from Nashville to Jacksonville, it’s easy to trade winter chills for sun-soaked relaxation.

This year, the resort is spotlighting its Great American Road Trip Package in celebration of America’s 250^th anniversary—a curated luxury road trip experience designed around the romance of slow travel. Guests can choose scenic heritage routes such as the Heartland Tour from Atlanta, Coastal Highway 17 from South Carolina, the Big Bend Scenic Highway along Florida’s Gulf Coast, or the A1A Ocean Islands Trail from North Florida. The experience includes a keepsake road trip guide, a $250 resort credit and a complimentary professional photo session, along with immersive on-property experiences ranging from Fort Clinch explorations to Fernandina Beach discoveries and signature dining and wellness offerings.

Salt is the resort’s AAA Five Diamond signature restaurant, which recently completed a full

transformation featuring a refreshed dining room, expanded lounge and the oceanfront Seaview Terrace. Under Chef Okan Kizilbayir (Michelin-trained under Eric Ripert), Salt continues to lead the destination’s culinary scene with immersive experiences and coastal-inspired tasting menus, alongside Tidewater Grill, Coquina, Chef’s Theater and the Hook, Line and Supper fishing-to-table experience.

For summer, Club Beach is another highlight, an elevated, exclusive beach experience for Club Level guests with dedicated service, reserved seating, curated food and beverage throughout the day and seasonal programming designed for effortless oceanfront relaxation. It pairs seamlessly with access to the Club Lounge, which offers daily culinary presentations, concierge service and sweeping ocean views.

In October, the 4^th Annual Amelia Island Cookout is coming back with a ton of new additions. With a backdrop of dunes and ocean, guests can enjoy sizzling seafood, grilled and slow-roasted meats and vegetables from chefs and pitmasters. Additional curated offerings include mouthwatering desserts, artful cocktails, mocktails and carefully selected wines. The beautiful barrier island is the perfect setting for those who appreciate the art of preparing and presenting inspired flavors.

With its combination of luxury accommodations, exceptional recreation, award-winning dining and unforgettable coastal scenery, the resort delivers a refreshing escape that feels worlds away while remaining easily accessible from Nashville.
