All-Inclusive Package rates start at $767 per night
With the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal
Waterway to the west, Amelia has plenty of aquatic
appeal, with boating, fishing and kayaking among the
popular options. The golf courses are worthy of the kid's activity
menu, too, particularly Pete Dye's Ocean Links, which has tees
of 4,341 and 5,007 yards for junior to tackle. Oak Marsh, another
Dye layout, along with the newly acquired Amelia River and the
private Long Point courses round out the options. With the All-
Inclusive Package, you get unlimited green fees per night of stay,
plus access to bikes and tennis, the Health & Fitness Center,
Kids Camp Amelia (nature clinics, games, arts and crafts for
ages 3-10), and most nature tours.
