The inestimable Lodge at Sea Island is unparalleled in charm, service, and sophisticated beauty – not to mention the golf.

“Founded more than 75 years ago, Sea Island is a luxury resort island off the coast of southern Georgia. Sea Island is host to a number of outstanding hotels, but the crown jewel is the distinguished The Lodge at Sea Island. This impressive hotel combines the traditions of the Old South with European sophistication and elegance to create a truly memorable experience. The Lodge is limited to 40 exclusive and opulent guest rooms, each of which comes with round-the-clock personal butler service.

My arrival through the resort’s massive stone entrance gate set the tone for me. As I drove down the majestic oak-lined road along the golf course, I felt as if I was on the private grounds of a luxurious estate. Likewise, the emphasis on service was also evident from the moment I pulled up to the front door. The valet seemed to take a genuine interest in my arrival, escorting me into the lobby to introduce me to the concierge, who in turn introduced me to my personal butler. Check-in at The Lodge takes place in the guest’s room, so my orientation to the resort happened naturally — almost without my notice — as my butler escorted me to my quarters.

The Lodge has its own exquisite on-site dining, but there are a variety of other options throughout Sea Island, from casual to formal. The resort’s 24-hour room service will satisfy almost any kind of midnight craving, and couples seeking a more romantic setting can arrange for a gourmet picnic-basket lunch with private transportation to any place on Sea Island.

The Lodge at Sea Island’s staff can deftly handle just about any type of conference or business gathering, as it proved in 2004 when Sea Island played host to the G8 Summit of World Leaders. Solo business travelers also will feel right at home at The Lodge; each room has access to a personal valet who will assist with work needs. For family travelers, The Lodge offers many activities geared toward families from children’s menus to special activities for teens like bowling and shopping excursions.

As evidenced by its three championship courses, The Lodge at Sea Island is an ideal golf retreat. But even if golf isn’t your sport, you’ll find plenty of other recreational activities, including tennis, horseback riding, shooting, and water-based pursuits such as boating and fishing. Or you may simply choose to pamper yourself in the comfort of The Lodge’s spa or the nearby Spa at Sea Island.

If you want to explore Sea Island, The Lodge at Sea Island will hand you the keys to a Range Rover equipped with a GPS tracking system. And if you want to document your off-site expedition but don’t have a camera, the Lodge can provide you with a digital camera as well. These are just two examples of this hotel’s commitment to its guests’ satisfaction.”
