Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa has announced the completion of its more than $40 million resort-wide transformation, unveiling a reimagined oceanfront destination blending coastal luxury with the character of Amelia Island.
The 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.
"With this renovation, we set out to create something truly special: a resort that reflects the spirit of Amelia Island in every detail," said Theo Schofield, Area Managing Director at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa. "From the moment guests arrive, they'll experience spaces inspired by the island's landscapes, culture and sense of hospitality. This transformation has elevated every part of the guest journey while creating a stronger sense of place, resulting in a luxury resort experience that couldn't be replicated anywhere else."
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 live oak canopies, the lobby and lobby lounge enhance the arrival experience through warm wood tones, locally inspired artwork and ocean-facing gathering spaces.
Art serves as a unifying thread throughout the resort, with each collection curated for its setting through a blend of commissioned works, regional artists, archival photography and contemporary interpretations of local landscapes.
Celebrating the Spirit of Amelia Island
The transformation pays tribute to the people, cultures and ecosystems that have shaped Amelia Island. Each space reflects a thoughtful interpretation of the destination's identity.
"We wanted guests to feel an immediate connection to Amelia Island from the moment they arrive," said Tonya Grine, Vice President of Interior Design at Omni Hotels & Resorts. "Every design decision was guided by the island's rich heritage, natural beauty, coastal character and Southern charm. Our hope is that our guests experience it all while gathering 'under the canopy' of the iconic live oaks draped in Spanish moss that are so quintessential to Amelia Island."
New Culinary Experiences
The resort's dining collection features new concepts and elevated experiences. 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. Murals by Dallas-based artist Chera Creative feature a blend of florals, citrus and tropical motifs.
- Surfcaster, previously known as Oceanside, is an oceanfront dining destination pairing seafood-forward cuisine with a coastal atmosphere. Design enhancements include hand-drawn murals and maritime-inspired artwork.
- Palmetto Press Coffee & Provisions is a new neighborhood-inspired market and café serving coffee, pastries, provisions and local discoveries.
- Additional enhancements across the resort's dining venues, including the renovated signature breakfast restaurant, FloraBelle.
Wellness in the Lowcountry
The Spa at Omni Amelia Island has been revitalized with 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, with new hot tubs and a cold plunge, alongside lounge seating and gathering spaces. Natural materials, rich textures and a soothing palette influenced by the Lowcountry create room 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.
The renovation 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 addition of Little Sandy, a Beau Welling-designed short course and putting course, offers a family-friendly experience for golfers of all ages and abilities, while the restoration of the 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.
