We’ve heard of renovated resorts in Savannah. After all, many of them are two centuries old or more. But we have to tip our caps to a Savannah resort that’s been re-imagined – which is why the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa lands in our No. 1 spot.

Westin’s prolific imagination has resulted in Savannah, Georgia’s only urban resort, with 403 Internet- and iDock-equipped guestrooms and luxury suites. You get the flavor of Savannah’s historic River District, the natural tinge of the Georgia Lowcountry and plenty of activities that reflect both the classic and the modern getaway. A big part of the latter is the area’s only PGA championship golf course – a natural addition to the famous bluffs and marshlands of the Colonial Coast and part of the Club at Savannah Harbor. This 22,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse also features the relaxing and rejuvenating Heavenly Spa by Westin™, the newest and largest in Westin’s collection. You see what we mean. The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa is the historic, luxury Savannah vacation you’ve imagined – only re-imagined!

Highlights

If you feel like there’s just too much to do at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa, the weekly calendar should help. It includes organized bicycle and golf cart tours, poolside fun, bocce ball, croquet and our personal Savannah favorite - ghost stories by the harbor-side fire pit.

Steeped in glamorous yet turbulent history, the Jekyll Island Club Hotel has risen again to become one of Jekyll Island’s premier resorts. Stay on the smallest of the Golden Isles and immerse yourself in Southern elegance and hospitality at this Victorian beauty.

It once offered the elite a place to socialize, boat and enjoy the sparkling Atlantic in style. But when the Great Depression rolled around, the club lost half its memberships. The state ended up buying the island once threats of enemy submarines off the coast came through during WWII. Well, more then 60 years later, the club has been retransformed into a 157-room and -suite resort with fine dining and more than 50 activities. Historic tours, carriage rides and croquet will help you imagine how the resort was like during its heydays. Stay in the one of five historic settings on the grounds: The Clubhouse, The Annex, Sans Souci, Crane Cottage and Cherokee Cottage. Dine on local and international cuisine in the Grand Dining Room, Courtyard at Crane or Café Solterra and visit the one-of-a-kind Georgia Sea Turtle Center. You’ll love this place, we swear!

Getting there

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel is located on Jekyll Island off of I-95 (Exit 29) about midway between Savannah and Jacksonville.

Fun facts

We know what you want. You want solitude. You want natural island beauty. You want comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. You want The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island. Accessible only by boat, this private 10,000-acre island just off the Georgia coast awaits you.

This is as close to complete, unscathed seclusion as you’re going to get. Unless you prefer “roughing it” in the Alaska wilderness. But why fight off growling bears and hunger when you can stay in one of only five unique cottages with guestrooms throughout the lodge’s property, enjoy hearty prepared meals and walk along miles of seashell-laden shore? The cottages, dating back to 1917, offer a warm and welcoming ambiance, like that of the Hunting Lodge which reminds you of something from the pages of Hemingway. At this all-inclusive resort, your stay includes delectable Lowcountry meals drawing from the surrounding waters. Spend some time with your loved one boating, hiking and cycling on the island and its shores or attend a guided and interpretative family program. Take time out of your busy life and schedule in some “you” time at The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island.

Getting there

Little St. Simons Island is most easily accessible from the St. Simons Island Airport or Brunswick Airport (BQK). You may also reach The Lodge from the Savannah Airport (SAV) or the Jacksonville Airport (JAX).
