The recently reimagined Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort – situated between miles of pristine shoreline and lush coastal marshland – welcomes visitors to experience coastal hospitality as only the South can deliver.

The natural beauty of the hotel's surroundings make the Omni feel more like a secluded hideaway, although it's located less than 30 miles from the Jacksonville International Airport. It’s no wonder that over the centuries, Amelia Island was regarded as a haven for pirates, nobles and confederates alike.

Today, Amelia Island continues to attract weary travelers seeking their own private escape, the ultimate getaway. And the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort features 1,350 acres of its own treasures that guests will enjoy discovering for themselves among the island’s stately oaks and romantic Spanish moss.

A full-service, nature-inspired spa; three championship golf courses; and nine top-notch dining options are just the start of reasons why guests keep returning again and again to discover all the Omni has to offer.

The hotel's perfect for families, couples or the savvy business traveler; every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to provide for each guest’s individual desires.

Spend the day lounging beside the multi-tiered poolscape, the largest of its kind in the region. An afternoon by the pool can be as laid back as you’d like to make it, or you can join in the fun the recreation staff have planned throughout the day for guests of all ages.

“Floribean” fare is delivered poolside from Omni’s Oceanside restaurant, and hand-crafted cocktails can be enjoyed from the Rum + Tequila Experience.

Looking to get active? Beyond the Omni’s popular tennis center, guests can enjoy water sports including marshside kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or a day of sailing.

Business plans bring you to the island? Take advantage of the 80,000 square feet of versatile meeting space in the resort's convention center.

As part of the recent $85 million re-imagination, each of the 404 oceanfront guest rooms have been updated with modern beach decor, 330 thread-count Eyptian cotton beach sheets and furnished patios, just to get started.

In addition to their luxurious guest rooms, the Omni offers a variety of distinguished suites as well as private residences available for your stay.
