Spa Salons near Amelia Island

“This is our favorite place to stay every December. We've been coming here for the last nine years for my husband's annual conference, and it always tugs at my heart to drive up and see the amazing display of lights and festive decor. As soon as we walk through the entrance, we're greeted with a gorgeous gingerbread castle display, and the scents of the season. The entire property has a cozy feel to it and every employee gives us a warm and sincere welcome, so it feels like we're home. We've enjoyed the Lobby Bar and most of the restaurants (Coquina, Coast, Tidewater Grill and Salt, to name a few) over the years and of course, occasional room service when we're feeling like just enjoying the comforts of our room. This year we are staying in one of the coveted ocean view rooms, and watching the morning sunrise from our balcony is the ultimate treat. While we don't have small children, this time of year is an exciting opportunity for special events for children and families to spend quality time. A weekly and daily activity guide is provided at check-in, and it's worth viewing for anyone, as they have biking and nature walks for adults, too. I've found that the guests here actually manage their children better than The Breakers, (which is basically an extremely costly and massive bounce-house doused in Lily Pulitzer). For us, we enjoy sitting in the Lobby Bar overlooking the enormous Christmas tree set in the courtyard facing the ocean and enjoying sushi and a charcuterie board with our drinks. The area can be very noisy, but the atmosphere is like one big holiday party, with a variety of comfortable seating areas, live acoustic music and a fireplace in an adjacent connecting room. Julie, our favorite bartender, is here at least one of the nights during our stay, and it's always wonderful to see her smiling face. We also enjoy shopping and noshing in the quaint downtown area, which is less than six miles away. It is worth noting that the downtown area is very dog-friendly, as is The Ritz. We've stayed here at least twice with our pups, which makes the visit even more special. I can't praise this beautiful property and their employees enough. It really feels like home. P.S.- The property has undergone extensive restoration within the past year, and I couldn't be happier with the results. We'll be back!“

“Great spa experience overall! The services were excellent, and the setting was beautiful and relaxing. Just a heads-up: if you’re planning to use the amenities, they’re located at a different (but walkable) location. However, the shuttle is only available to overnight guests, which was a bit of a letdown. Aside from that small hiccup, we had a wonderful afternoon and would definitely return.“

“Amazing massage. Just the right amount of pressure and very therapeutic! We will definitely revisit Drift when we return. A big 10 for review. Just amazing!“

“I went to get my brows tinted and shapped. Great service by Lissa! Very happy with my brows!“

“Had the best experience with the Best Esthetician . My facial made my face glow . I highly recommend The Peel Studio“

“If you need to relax, forget your troubles, and feel brand new this is the most heavenly facial for you. Comfortable, private, worth every dollar and I loved it❣️ I am a real customer☺️“

“Michelle was very responsive to my initial website and text contact with her, and she accommodated my appointment request despite her usually not working on Saturdays. She was very professional, efficient, and friendly. Her spa treatment room was cozy and therapeutic. She did a great job on my Brazilian wax - better than anyone else I've seen. I'm very likely to try other services she offers because she seemed highly and well-educated in her field. I am new to the area and am excited to have found Michelle!“

“I met Brittni for the first time last weekend and loved her! Hard to find someone that’s talented and a people person! Great experience!“

“I have been with Susan for over a year - she is fantastic! I have been extremely satisfied with her professionalism, knowledge and her services. The results have been impressive. I have already recommended her to friends and family, and they too think she is wonderful. She rates 5 stars for excellence in service and obviously, I highly recommend her! Dave S.

“I walked in on a whim on my day off and
Lennie just happened to have a cancellation that had just happened and I was able to get my nails done by him. I'm only a couple visits in ...and I'm just going to say... I've been getting my nails done for several years and I've never had the quality work and craftsmanship that he offers. He does amazing artistry and he's confident in what he does. I've never gotten more compliments on my nails. They are perfectly sculpted and everyone is always blown away by the beauty and obvious special attention to detail. The pictures speak for themselves.“

“Love Ashley Case and all the other girls are amazing. Facility is clean, girls are great!!“
