If your self-care routine is craving something coastal, calming, and completely refreshing, or you’re looking to reconnect with your partner on a romantic escape, the Spa at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa claims to be the perfect spot to “nourish, indulge and renew.”
Fresh off ranking No. 4 in the “Best Resorts in Florida” category in the October 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, the spa at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa reopened in early February after a property-wide makeover, and yes, the spa is the star of the show.
Think Lowcountry zen meets elevated coastal chic. From a reimagined lobby to fully refreshed spa spaces, this Northeast Florida favorite is stepping into its glow-up era.
Additionally, Amelia Island ranked No. 2 in 2025 on Travel + Leisure’s “Best Islands in the Continental U.S.,” making it a tempting excuse to prolong your stay post-wellness visit.
Here are 10 reasons to plan your next spa-cation at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa.
1. Designed for Lowcountry zen vibes
The redesign captures Amelia Island’s coastal architecture while elevating the sense of tranquility throughout the space. In the locker room wet areas, a soft, soothing palette creates a warm, cocoon-like retreat. Scallop-tile showers offer a subtle nod to the seaside setting, feeling playful yet refined and perfectly on theme.
The overall aesthetic blends serene Southern charm with a modern wellness sensibility.
The updated lobby and lounge continue the story with a coastal-modern feel, drawing inspiration from the island’s earthy reds, sun-washed golds, lush greens, and ocean blues. The result is a warm, welcoming environment that reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
2. No spa day pass needed — stay all day
The best part? Book a massage or facial and enjoy the spa relaxation areas all day, including the dreamy courtyard. Because the amenities are reserved exclusively for guests who book services, there’s no need to worry about crowds or touristy traps. Just relax and unwind.
Bring a book. Sip something refreshing. Lounge longer than you planned.
Just note: once you leave the spa building, there’s no re-entry. So settle in and stay awhile.
3. A relaxation room that gets you with open and private nooks
The new relaxation room offers multiple privacy levels — ideal whether you’re in a social mood or craving quiet solitude. Tall, rich green wainscoting paired with floral wall coverings creates a warm, enveloping feel. Wicker lighting casts a soft golden glow that flatters everyone (and every mood).
It’s the kind of room where whispers feel instinctive and stress drifts quietly into the background. Sip a warm cup of tea or hydrate with lemon-infused water as you sink into a lounge chair, either easing into the calm before your therapist greets you or savoring the blissful glow after your massage.
4. Treatments for everyone and every body part (including men’s beards)
The spa menu is impressively expansive:
Facial lovers can indulge in hyaluronic treatments, Sothys facials, peels, and microdermabrasion. There’s even a “beard boost” for men looking to elevate their grooming game.
5. Enhancements to elevate your senses

It’s a fully customizable relaxation journey.
6. A jacuzzi courtyard straight out of a Southern daydream
Step outside to the new spa courtyard and you’ll find a private relaxation zone tucked into dense lowcountry landscape. Wicker lounge seating and floral umbrellas channel effortless Southern elegance.
And yes, there’s a Jacuzzi. Afterall, no glow-up is complete without a relaxing soak and a vitamin D sunbath.
7. Spa bites that actually feel good
Wellness doesn’t stop at the treatment table. Spa guests can now order from a curated food and beverage menu served in the courtyard.
Expect fresh salads, wraps, bowls, pressed juices, kombucha, wine by the glass, and even mimosas. The menu leans healthy and light, with gluten-friendly, dairy-free, and vegan options available.
Because sometimes the most therapeutic thing is a crisp glass of wine after a deep tissue massage.
8. Mani-pedis, too
Yes, you can make it a full glow-up. Nail and pedicure services are available, making it easy to leave polished from head to toe.
9. Steam shower magic
Following your spa treatment and Jacuzzi time, before you head home, finish your self-care with a steam shower. While there’s no traditional sauna, guests won’t miss it. The spa’s complimentary steam shower experience features a custom-blended lavender and eucalyptus aroma oil that instantly melts tension, perfect after a massage.
The perk? It’s complimentary for all guests. Just ask the front desk to set it up for you, take a breath deep, and let the botanical calm do its thing.
10. New dining spots to enjoy after your spa day at Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa
The resort’s refresh extends well beyond the spa. After you’ve reached peak relaxation, keep the vibe going at one of the newly debuted or revamped dining spots:
