Situated on one of the four barrier islands along Georgia's 100-mile-long stretch of Atlantic Coast line, the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is a four star resort and National Historic Landmark. Once an exclusive hunting club, it is nestled in a fantastic location north of Florida, and encourages an unhurried pace of life; perfect for those looking to escape the rat race.

From the first sighting of the impressive 20 acre expanse and the elegant Victorian turret, you'll be bowled over by the islands history and the resorts elegant design and ambience. Jekyll is the smallest of Georgia's barrier islands, yet remote beaches with natural sand dunes and indigenous wildlife make it huge

The facilities

No two days here are ever the same, unless you want them to be. Stroll along the nine miles of beach and feel the gentle lapping waves on your feet, cycle in the lush maritime forest, explore the historic village, enjoy fine dining in the hotels restaurants, indulge in a spot of horseback riding or tee up on the 63 hole golf course. Stay within the vicinity of your respective accommodation and enjoy a dip in the rather large hotel pool or head to the Riverview Lounge for a spot of Victorian High Tea.

The rooms

The resort has 157 rooms and suites spread out over five historic club buildings. Guests can choose from the main hotel Clubhouse, the Annex, Sans Souci, or one of the two cottages - Crane and Cherokee.
