Coastal Elegance with Room to Breathe
Unpack accommodations and venues from the beaches to downtown. The oceanfront Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa and The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island feature elegant indoor and outdoor spaces. Meanwhile, focused-service hotels by worldwide brands offer stays and venues just steps from the beach or historic downtown.
The island’s unique venues make an impression that will have attendees feeling inspired as well as rewarded. Combine a brainstorm with a beach day on the island’s 13 miles of pristine sands, plan a team collab at historic Fort Clinch, or celebrate achievements on a sunset river cruise.
Memories, Mindfulness and Morale

Downtown Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island is a place where time seems to slow, inviting groups to fully savor the essence of true Southern charm. Its brick-lined streets, shaded by majestic trees, lead to canopied storefronts that exude a warmth as genuine as the welcoming hospitality found within. This perfectly walkable district stretches across 50 blocks, offering attendees ample space to explore at their own pace. Whether joining a guided history tour that vividly brings the past to life or simply wandering without a specific agenda, there’s always something new to discover. Browse eclectic boutiques filled with unique local treasures, enjoy an alfresco lunch with homemade pasties for dessert, and relax in breezy courtyards where the sounds of live music gently drift into the evening air. Stop in Florida’s oldest bar, The Palace Saloon, and attendees will be sharing haunted tales of pirates and ghosts with their colleagues back home. More than an excursion, downtown Fernandina Beach is an authentic Southern experience that attendees are sure to cherish. |
