Information about Amelia Island Plantation Today!
Amelia Island Plantation
Amelia Island,
Florida
This carefully preserved island landmark has earned national
acclaim
as a luxury resort while building a private community of
discerning residents.
Description
Amelia Island Plantation covers 1,350
secluded acres between the beaches of the Atlantic and the
tidal marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway. Only 29 miles from Jacksonville
International Airport, it was founded in 1971 on a proactive
environmentalist vision and still honors that commitment.
The resort has been named a AAA Four Diamond Resort for 27
consecutive years and recognized as a “Silver Medal Golf
Resort” by Golf Magazine and as an Audubon
Cooperative Sanctuary System by Audubon International. Its
pristine environment also includes a real estate community
that offers homes, homesites and villas directly fronting
marshland, ocean, fairways and maritime forests.
The Ocean course takes you along the beach.
Long before eco-resorts became popular, Amelia Island
Plantation created a master plan to protect its marshes, dunes
and grasslands. A 40-foot-wide strip of natural vegetation
borders all its waterways, creating wildlife corridors
providing vital forage and cover. The Plantation’s three-plus miles
of unspoiled beach and its vast tracts of coastal marsh and
woodland remain its prime assets.
The Oak Marsh course shows why Amelia Island Plantation is an
eco-resort.
Active Living in a Natural Setting
Golf has long been a defining amenity at Amelia Island. Its
72 holes of championship golf are in their best condition ever,
according to the community, from the Pete Dye-Bobby Weed courses
at Amelia Links to the Tom Fazio-crafted Long Point course along
with the recent addition of Tom Jackson’s Amelia River Golf
Club. Oak Marsh, Ocean Links, Long Point and Amelia River
challenge golfers with seven oceanfront holes and plenty of
marsh-side play.
The Amelia Island Plantation Golf School, conducted by Ed Bowe,
is headquartered at the prestigious Long Point Golf Course.
Sheltered by ancient live oaks, the school overlooks its own
private driving range and practice green and focuses on
individual instruction for developmental and corrective
techniques.

Racquet Park is home to the annual Bausch & Lomb Tennis
Championships and has been recognized by Tennis magazine
as one of the "Top 50 American Tennis Resorts." Its 23 Har-Tru,
fast-dry clay courts are shaded beneath majestic live oaks in a
beautiful Florida setting
Exercise and conditioning are the order of the day at the
community’s health and fitness center. Treadmills,
crosstrainers, stair climbers, upright and recumbent bikes, and
strength machines as well as Cybex weight equipment and free
weights provide every workout option. All cardio equipment is
equipped with an 11-inch LCD monitor for TV entertainment with
your workout.
The Atlantic beachfront stretches wide and unhurried.
Lodging & Activities
The ocean-view Amelia Inn & Beach Club, offering 249
luxury hotel rooms and a two-tiered pool deck, is a vital
center of activity on the vast resort complex. The villas of
Amelia provide guests with special features, room
configurations and amenities.
Amelia Island Plantation’s amenities are extensive and
ownership here includes the opportunity to join the Amelia
Island Club and gain access to the resort amenities and the
members-only oceanfront Clubhouse. Its activities—along with
golf and fitness—include 23 clay tennis courts, 20 swimming
pools, 10 restaurants, a full-service spa & salon, upscale
shopping, biking and walking trails and miles of wide,
uncrowded beaches.
Amelia Island Plantation’s very own Nature Center was
established in 1997 and now has grown to incorporate several
staff naturalists with backgrounds in biology, ecotourism, and
environmental studies.
The Beach Club is home to the community’s aquatics department
and the outdoor heated pool. There are two
large swimming pools, a kiddie pool and a hot tub as well.
Treat yourself at the Spa.
The Spa at Amelia Island Plantation rejuvenates its patrons
with massage, relaxation techniques, body wraps and other
sophisticated treatments, plus offers products and
services to make you look your best.
If it’s a beach day, you can stop poolside for a quick bite at
the Beach Club Grill. Golfers favor the 19th-hole fare at
Amelia’s inviting Golf Shop Restaurant. When seafood is the
choice, enjoy the charmingly casual Verandah Restaurant,
featuring the day’s fresh catch.

About the
Surrounding Area
Programs for all ages let visitors explore the natural beauty of
a maritime forest and discover the species that call the forest
their home. You can catch a glimpse of a painted bunting or
great blue heron on a birding excursion or embark on a bike tour
through salt marsh and woodlands.
The surrounding waters of Amelia Island Plantation offer both
fresh and saltwater fishing along with sailing charters,
day-cruises and sightseeing tours. Fish Amelia Island’s inlets
on a four-passenger charter and test your luck against tarpon,
shark and redfish.
Six-passenger trolling charters are also available giving
anglers the opportunity for striking game fish such as kingfish,
cobia, barracuda, amberjack and bonito on manmade and natural
reefs offshore. Drift fishing these reefs also produces black
sea bass, snapper and grouper.
For those looking to stay closer to home, Amelia Island
Plantation’s Red Maple Lake and many brackish water lagoons are
stocked with a variety of bream, bass, catfish and sunshine
bass. Some of the saltier lagoons can also produce snook, tarpon
and redfish.
