When thinking about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, a private island is usually a part of the package... but you don't actually have to go to the Bahamas (or have millions in the bank) to enjoy the luxury and privacy of an island getaway! You can find not one, but two private island resorts in the Golden Isles. One is Sea Island, on the southeast shore, and the other is Little St. Simons Island, to the north. Both are totally top-notch options for a dreamy vacation, and they both have their own distinct amenities and atmospheres. Here's a guide to finding the private island escape that will make you feel like a million bucks!
Seven miles of beaches; 11,000 acres of wilderness. And it's all only accessible by boat! Little St. Simons has been privately owned since 1760, offering all-inclusive, unique stays for just 32 guests at a time, making it truly a once in a lifetime experience. This little slice of paradise additionally prides itself on sustainable, "seed to table" dining services, where everything you eat will be local, fresh, and prepared just for you. Water activities, hiking, bicycling, and so much more provide fun for anyone and everyone. They also offer day trips, many with onsite naturalists who can guide you as you experience the beauty of the island. The Lodge is for nature lovers of all kinds, so expect to be outside for the majority of your trip, as this isn't a "resort" but a relaxed, natural experience that will provide memories, good times, stunning photos, and delicious food alike!
The Golden Isles has long been a hit for those wanting to escape busy lives and relax at a top-notch resort--without traveling across the globe. Discover the countless fun activities offered, marine animals and other wildlife, and so much more, all while experiencing the warm climate that you expect from gorgeous Georgia beaches and the surrounding areas.
