Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, Fernandina Beach, Florida

Set in 1,350 acres and with its own private beach, this luxury resort at the tip of a barrier island, just off north-east Florida, is a perfect choice for families who are looking for excellent facilities and attentive staff in a spectacular setting. Families who are sporty will love the golf facilities and comprehensive tennis programme while budding naturists will enjoy the wildlife talks and walks - kids even get the chance to learn about and handle snakes. 

There are extensive facilities, including 2 pools and a huge splash playground park to keep the kids happy. When it comes to eating guests are spoilt for choice with nine restaurants offering international and American dishes. Nature is at the forefront of everything here and there are trips through the maritime forest, a kids’ camp that explores nature and science through fun, games and evening explorations of the resort when the sun has gone down. For retail therapy there’s a pedestrianized shopping village stuffed full of boutiques and plenty of bookable excursions, including Segway tours and kayaks. There are no less than three golf-courses on the resort and an excellent spa for even more downtime. 

The rooms and villas all have fantastic ocean views and are bright and contemporary. Rooms sleep two adults while one, two and three-bedroom villas sleep 4-7 people in king size beds.
