Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa Completes Resort-Wide Transformation

Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa today announced the completion of its more than $40 million resort-wide transformation, unveiling a fully reimagined oceanfront destination that blends coastal luxury with the distinctive character of Amelia Island.

The comprehensive renovation touches nearly every aspect of the guest experience, including all 401 guestrooms and suites, signature restaurants, spa and wellness facilities, public spaces, conference and event venues, golf amenities and curated art collections throughout the property.

A Resort Reimagined

Refreshed oceanfront guestrooms and suites feature layered textures, coastal-inspired palettes and design elements that reflect the island's natural surroundings. Throughout the resort, interiors blend Southern charm, maritime influences and contemporary coastal design.

Inspired by the island's celebrated live oak canopies, the lobby and lobby lounge enhance the arrival experience through warm wood tones, locally inspired artwork and ocean-facing gathering spaces that create an inviting atmosphere at the heart of the resort.

Art serves as a unifying thread throughout the resort, with each collection curated specifically for its setting, reflecting the unique character of Amelia Island. Through a blend of commissioned works, regional artists, archival photography and contemporary interpretations of local landscapes, the collection celebrates the island's live oak canopies, nautical history, coastal habitats and architectural heritage, bringing a deeper sense of place to every stay.

Celebrating the Spirit of Amelia Island

Guided by the design philosophy "By Land, by Sky and by Sea... We All Meet Under the Canopy," the transformation pays tribute to the people, cultures and ecosystems that have shaped Amelia Island for generations. From the Spanish moss-draped live oaks that define the landscape to the island's maritime history and abundant wildlife, each space reflects a thoughtful interpretation of the destination's identity.

New Culinary Experiences

The resort's dining collection features new concepts and elevated experiences that celebrate hospitality, gathering and Southern charm. Guests can enjoy:

  • Nonna Mia, formerly known as Verandah, is a coastal Italian restaurant inspired by both Southern and Italian seaside traditions. Paying tribute to the idea of "Nonna Mia," meaning "my grandmother" in Italian, the restaurant invites guests to gather around Nonna's kitchen table, creating a welcoming and comforting environment that's bright, playful and full of personality. Murals by Dallas-based artist Chera Creative feature a vibrant blend of florals, citrus and tropical motifs.
  • Surfcaster, previously known as Oceanside, is an oceanfront dining destination pairing seafood-forward cuisine with a relaxed, coastal atmosphere. Design enhancements include hand-drawn murals and maritime-inspired artwork.
  • Palmetto Press Coffee & Provisions is a brand-new neighborhood-inspired market and café serving coffee, pastries, provisions and local discoveries. Its apothecary-style drawers for sundries and charming retail displays set the stage for local treasures.
  • Additional enhancements across the resort's dining venues, including the renovated signature breakfast restaurant, FloraBelle.

Together, the venues create a culinary experience that reflects the spirit of Amelia Island while offering distinctive options for resort guests and local visitors alike.

Wellness in the Lowcountry

The Spa at Omni Amelia Island has been revitalized with tranquil, coastal-inspired spaces designed to promote relaxation and wellness.

The reimagined spa features 19 upgraded treatment rooms, refreshed relaxation spaces and enhanced food and beverage offerings. A new private outdoor serenity courtyard invites guests to extend their wellness experience with contrast therapy, made possible by new hot tubs and a cold plunge, alongside lounge seating and peaceful gathering spaces surrounded by native landscaping. Natural materials, rich textures and a soothing palette influenced by the Lowcountry create an atmosphere designed for restoration and renewal.

Meetings, Events and Family Gatherings Enhanced

Meeting planners and event organizers will find an entirely refreshed conference experience with renovated ballrooms, meeting rooms, additional functional spaces and elevated public areas.

Designed to enhance the experience for guests of every generation, the renovation also includes updates to the resort's family-focused amenities, including a reimagined Camp Amelia with supervised activities and an enhanced Gamers Lounge featuring classic arcade games and Nintendo Switch consoles available to all guests.

Building on a Legacy of Golf

The resort continues to build on its legacy as a premier golf destination. The addition of Little Sandy, a Beau Welling-designed short course and putting course, offers a fun, family-friendly experience for golfers of all ages and abilities, while the thoughtful restoration of the iconic Pete Dye-designed Oak Marsh golf course preserves the character of one of the Southeast's most distinctive coastal golf destinations. Together with exclusive access to the Tom Fazio-designed Long Point course, the resort offers an exceptional collection of golf experiences.
