The Villas of Amelia Island

A Southern Coastal Hideaway for “I Do’s” With Character

Picture a quiet pathway under towering live oaks, their branches draped with Spanish moss that sways in the ocean breeze. A few paces later, dune-brushed horizons and the hush of Atlantic waves welcome you to The Villas of Amelia Island—a pocket of Old-Florida charm that treats every wedding like a house party on a grand estate.

Behind gated drives, 38 Mediterranean-style villas feel equal parts private residence and five-star retreat. Hand-laid terrazzo, arched doorways, and wrought-iron balconies frame courtyards where heated plunge pools shimmer after sunset. Inside, open-plan lounges flow into fully stocked kitchens—ideal for morning mimosas or pre-ceremony toasts—while serene suites feature spa showers and soaking tubs that melt away any rehearsal-day nerves.
