Where We’re Staying
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be whisked away into the rich history of Jekyll Island and The Club that bears its name. This is a story for the ages, a great history preserved, and we approach each new day in our history with a sense of wonder. Experience the history, grandeur, and manicured grounds of the Jekyll Island Club and the Island Cottages. Or swap traditional for flip-flop casual with a beachfront getaway to the all-suite Ocean Club. You’ll find natural beauty and a resort’s worth of dining, amenities and activities that are all yours to enjoy. Resort guests are welcome to chairs, umbrellas, towels and full access to the beach for as far as you can see in any direction.
What We’re Eating
From classic preparations to fresh takes on Southern cooking, savor Low Country dining at our Jekyll Island restaurants. The Grand Dining Room is an ideal setting to indulge in an evening meal or Sunday Brunch. If you prefer a casual, open-air dining experience head over to The Wharf or Eighty Ocean Kitchen and Bar or grab a poolside bite from the Pool House.
What We’re Doing (When We’re Not Learning!)
A Jekyll Island experience isn’t complete without experiencing the many things to do on the island. Locals share pride in the gifts of a well-preserved history and pristine grounds. This island resort is a place of discovery, retreat, and activity. Here you’ll find the quiet indoor escapes, brilliantly manicured grounds, and full range of amenities and services to put as much or as little activity as you want into each day. We’ll incorporate time to explore the resort and create content to showcase it in between structured sessions.
