The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island

The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island sits on the Atlantic side of Amelia Island, a barrier island off the northeast coast of Florida near Fernandina Beach. The island runs thirteen miles of coastline, and the hotel occupies a stretch of it directly on the beach.

The property has four hundred and forty-six rooms across several categories: standard rooms, thirty-six Club rooms — which carry access to a dedicated lounge — forty-seven suites, and three named specialty suites with ocean orientations. Club rooms add a private service tier within the same building.

Four restaurants and a lobby lounge cover dining on-site, which means you are not dependent on leaving the property for a full meal. Several outdoor venues and ocean-view spaces supplement more than forty-eight thousand square feet of interior meeting and function rooms, making the hotel a working conference destination as well as a leisure one.

Amelia Island sits between a coastal waterway and the Atlantic, which keeps it quieter than Florida's more developed resort strips further south. The hotel sits on a barrier island, so the beach is the immediate boundary on the ocean side.
