"About 40 minutes from Jacksonville Airport, Omni Amelia Island is one of only two luxury resorts on the island (the other is a Ritz Carlton)—though the vibe is far from pretentious. Once through the gated entry, you’ll notice beautifully untamed grounds rich with Spanish moss-adorned live oaks. Enter the lobby and you're met with a cascade of blues: a captivating view of the Atlantic ocean and, in the foreground, an eye-catching water feature followed by an adults-only pool and hot tub, plus a family pool and splash pad. Each level offers plenty of loungers and palms, and every room at the property has an ocean view—and a striking one." - CNT Editors
