This classic vacation colony with beachfront solitude is set on an island along the Atlantic, and a causeway connects the smaller island to St. Simons Island. Experienced travelers consistently rate The Cloister as one of the best resorts in the country. The buildings are designed in Mediterranean style offering 265 rooms surrounded by stunning gardens and placed along a five mile beach.
The Cloister has some of the best golfing in the world. The two golf courses with a combined fifty-four holes are found on the historic Retreat Plantation along the majestic Avenue of Oaks. There are seventeen clay tennis courts as well as one automated court for private warm-ups and practice. Every morning there's a Seaside Morning Stretch or Morning Beach Walk. Other activities include horseback riding, a world-class spa, freshwater swimming pools, and shooting ranges. The beach club provides a variety of water sports. Sailing and fishing charters are offered at the resort's marina. Vintage motor and sailing yachts are available to be experienced by guests.
Throughout your stay, your own table is reserved for you, if you wish, and is adorned with fresh flowers. Friday nights feature a spectacular outdoor plantation supper. And every night, except Sunday, The Cloister pro-vides a variety of live music. You can dance to the orchestra before and after dinner. Big bands make The Cloister one of America's top destinations for ballroom dancers. The main dining room serves six-course dinners accompanied by live music. The Beach Club has indoor and outdoor breakfast and lunch buffets, and seafood dinner buffets.
Just because it's called The Cloister doesn't mean you have to live like a monk. The staff is attentive to the needs of romantic couples, and they specialize in welcoming honeymooners and anniversary celebrations. Honeymoon packages include amenities such as dancing, champagne welcome, breakfast in bed, and a weekly honeymooner party.
