Lakeside luxury resort with golf, spa, dining, and watersports
"On the shores of Lake Oconee, some 80 miles east of Atlanta, the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, offers an easy escape from city life. The main resort overlooks 30 miles of shoreline with a small beach, floating hammocks, and a dock with stand-up paddle boards and kayaks. Tall Georgia pines frame rolling lawns, and fire pits crackle at dusk. This is a place that makes you want to put your phone in the safe and unplug for a while. Accommodations vary widely, from 463-square-foot standard rooms to a 5,404-square-foot Lake House, including brand new Fireside Rooms with personal fire pits. Worth a trip in itself, the resort’s recently renovated sprawling spa overlooks the lake and offers everything from a simple men’s shave to a full-body scrub utilizing Georgia red clay. On sunny days, the pool deck is the place to be, and there are two to choose from. Golf, spa, swim, or simply lie in the sun; no matter how you fill your days, you’ll no doubt leave refreshed." - Lia Picard, Allison Weiss Entrekin
"A lakeside luxury resort situated roughly 90 minutes' drive from the Masters venue that serves as a popular base for attendees seeking upscale accommodations within driving distance of the tournament." - Kelsey Ogletree Kelsey Ogletree Kelsey Ogletree is a Chicago-based writer and editor.

"A little over an hour to the east of Atlanta, The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee is hidden away on its own little peninsula, surrounded by miles and miles of winding lakeshore. Aesthetically, it’s something unusual for the brand, in a throwback Craftsman style that’s perfectly suited to its environment. The rooms and suites are joined by lakeside cottages for larger traveling parties, and all the Ritz-Carlton signatures are here, from the expansive spa to the multiple upscale dining and drinking venues; guests also have access to a nearby tennis club and no fewer than five championship golf courses." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A lakeside retreat with 257 chic guest rooms that emphasizes outdoor family fun—boating, paddleboarding, giant inflatable rafts offshore, and daily Ritz Kids Lake Adventures that include fishing, tent-building, scavenger hunts and nature hikes. Parents can enjoy a renovated spa and access to five championship golf courses and sporting clays, while nightly s’mores around the firepit provide a classic family ritual." - Kathryn Romeyn, Devorah Lev-Tov
"Set on the banks of scenic Lake Oconee, this serene lakeside property sits on 30 acres of lush forest and has long been a favorite for families and golfers. I found it notable that the resort offers four golf courses, making it one of the country's top golfing destinations, and that Lake Oconee — the state's second-largest lake — provides ample water-sport and fishing opportunities; a sandy beach, hammocks, and a large lawn round out the picture-perfect summer scene, and the property is about an hour-and-a-half drive from Atlanta." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.
