3-day, 2-night itinerary
Authentic Southern charm awaits in Northeast Florida on Amelia Island. Enjoy a relaxing getaway with 13 miles of pristine beaches, more than 90 independent restaurants and abundant outdoor adventure for all ages.
Amelia Island is easy to reach, whether you’re flying or driving. You can arrive via direct flights into Jacksonville International Airport, just a short 30-minute drive away, or by car from I-95.
When it comes to accommodations, the island offers a range of places to stay for every style and budget. The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island and Omni Amelia Island Resort are the island’s two oceanfront luxury resorts with signature spas and restaurants, stunning poolscapes, and endless outdoor pursuits. Brand hotels that put you just steps from the beach or in the heart of downtown Fernandina Beach include Courtyard and Springhill Suites by Marriott, Hampton Inn & Suites and Residence Inn. Seaside vacation rental options offer you all the comforts of home. Or, for a more intimate stay, explore the many bed & breakfasts in the historic district that feature old-world elegance and modern amenities.
No matter where you stay, you’re never more than 15 minutes away from everything Amelia Island has to offer.
Day 1: Make it a beach day and soak up the sun, followed by dinner under the stars and drinks at Florida’s oldest bar.
Day 2: Start with a round or two of golf, then continue your day outdoors with an afternoon on the water.
Day 3: Enjoy an adventurous morning at Fort Clinch State Park and an afternoon exploring downtown Fernandina Beach.
From horseback riding on the beach to shelling and hunting for fossilized shark teeth, the island’s pristine beaches provide so many ways to unwind. Enjoy lunch overlooking the Atlantic. Later, continue the alfresco dining trend with dinner under the stars downtown with live music and a laid-back, island vibe. Cap off the night at Palace Saloon, Florida’s oldest bar that serves handcrafted cocktails and infamous ghost stories.
Perfectly manicured greens await with 99 holes and five championship golf courses, plus a 10-hole short course to perfect your game. After you play through, paddle through serene waterways on a kayak tour. When the day is done, treat yourself to an “après-tee” with local craft beers and fresh seafood downtown.
Enjoy a morning walk or bike ride among the canopied nature trails of Fort Clinch State Park, then tour the on-site Civil War-era fort. Afterward, head to the cobblestone streets of downtown Fernandina Beach where hidden gems await around every corner. Continue your walk through time at Amelia Island Museum of History. Round out your afternoon shopping, mini-bowling or with a game of putt-putt golf. For dinner, head to the island’s south end for upscale dishes served with a side of Southern hospitality and elegant resort dining.
If you’re chomping at the bit to head into the wilderness and set up camp, we’re with you. For a dose of luxury, enjoy an off-grid adventure for up to seven days with the new Pebble Flow. With a sleek, aerodynamic futuristic profile, the Pebble Flow also boasts a dual-motor Active Tow Assist System to allow for pulling with an electric vehicle. Features include lightweight composite and sustainable materials; panoramic windows with a 270-degree view; convertible furnishings; and a modern, minimalist design aesthetic. The chef-inspired kitchen, silent HVAC system and spa bathroom provide travel comfort, and nature-inspired colors including Sky, Fern, Poppy and Sand add to the overall sense of serenity. Bonus: The Pebble Flow can sight, align and hitch all on its own, while The Pebble App and dual-motor drivetrain let you maneuver, reverse, park and position with ease.
Seoul has rapidly become a leading global MICE hub, known for its rich culture, advanced technology and strong economy. As the capital of South Korea, it offers a strategic location in East Asia and a booming cultural influence through K-pop, K-movies, Korean cuisine and K-dramas. With its vibrant atmosphere and business-friendly environment, Seoul is increasingly the top choice for MICE organizers and corporate travelers seeking connection and collaboration.
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
