OMNI AMELIA ISLAND PLANTATION RESORT CELEBRATES LOVE WITH “AMELIA AMORE” EXPERIENCE

Amelia Island Beach Resort Launches Romantic Retreat

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. – Jan. 4, 2016 – In anticipation of Valentine’s Day, Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort unveils the “Amelia Amore” experience; an adventurous and enchanting getaway designed for couples with the most discerning taste.

Located on beautiful Amelia Island, named among Florida’s most romantic beaches by USA Today, Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort is a haven for couples seeking a private escape. The 1,350-acre resort features 3.5 miles of uncrowded shoreline, 404 oceanfront rooms with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, a renowned tennis and golf program and tranquil nature-inspired spa.

Couples enjoying the “Amelia Amore” experience will be greeted with sumptuous suite accommodations and Omni Amelia Island Plantation’s signature Bubble Bar. The customizable champagne station features flavor infused pipettes that are added to premium bubbly to create unique flavors such as strawberry basil, mango and mint. After creating cocktails and enjoying them on their gorgeous oceanfront balcony, guests embark on a romantic sunset paddleboard tour through the resort’s serene salt marsh. Led by an expert naturalist, couples float through the calm backcountry waterways joined by manatees and dolphins. With the entire resort designated an Audubon International certified sanctuary, guests are also guaranteed to see beautiful native and migratory birds.

The romance continues with a private dinner for two hosted on Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort’s Ocean Links golf course. Perched atop the tee box of hole six, guests dine with a gorgeous view of the beach and Atlantic Ocean. Chef-created delicacies include locally sourced seafood and ingredients plucked from The Sprouting Project – an on-property aquaponic greenhouse, organic garden, apiary and more.

Immersing couples in the natural beauty of Amelia Island, the “Amelia Amore” experience includes a private sunset cruise with Amelia Island Angler Outfitters. The two-hour experience departs from historic Fernandina Harbor Marina and cruises to historic Fort Clinch, followed by the southern tip of Cumberland Island, where wild horses may be seen on the beach and marsh. The tour then passes the western portion of Cumberland Island and returns to Amelia Island where a gorgeous sunset highlights spartina marshes and tidal rivers. Guests enjoy the scenery from a luxury sport-fishing vessel with air conditioned interior, ample outdoor deck, welcoming captain, first mate, hors d’oeuvres and beverages.

Couples conclude their visit to Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort with a romantic beach horseback ride. A favorite pastime for local lovers, beach rides with Kelly Seahorse Ranch meander along the island’s pristine shoreline. During the one-hour ride guests can sit back and relax as the ranch’s gentle horses walk along the shoreline as riders enjoy the sun, sea and breeze.
