Jekyll Island / Georgia / United States
With roots tracing back to 1888, Jekyll Island Club was long the preferred retreat for the most prominent figures of American history including the Vanderbilts, Pulitzers and Rockefellers. Today, the property stands in a class by itself greeting couples, families and groups in authentic Lowcountry charm. Guests can enjoy unique and historic accommodations including the original Clubhouse and three historic Island Cottages, a wide choice of dining venues including a new overwater restaurant, and a variety of activities including bike trails and a relaxing pool. Located within a designated 240-acre Historic District, guests are within striking architecture and natural beauty across the 5,700-acre island, which has 8 miles of wide sandy beaches along its east shore. Guests of the Jekyll Island Club also enjoy access to all the facilities at the Jekyll Ocean Club, a newly opened, all-suite, oceanside boutique hotel. The majority of the island is in a natural state and development is tightly limited to preserve the balance, providing travelers with a relaxing and restorative destination. Complimentary shuttle service is provided for resort guests throughout the island.
