A Romantic Solo Weekend in Amelia Island

Amelia Island is a northeast Florida barrier island rich with history and a sense of bygone romanticism. A stay at one of the historic Italianate mansions turned B&B’s, like The Fairbanks House, will have you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time.

Amelia Island’s Fort Clinch state park is a cave of old oaks and dappled shade. Their branches come together like clasped fingers high above your head, and the Spanish moss sways lazily in the coastal breeze.

Every bend is a fairytale of light and ancient coastal hammock.
The Palace Saloon, alledgedly the oldest bar in Florida, is steeped in pirate lore and rich in nautical stories of seasons past. I could imagine bootleggers and shrimpers washing up to its bar for something to take the edge off the cold Atlantic coastal winds.

EAT

Stop by for lunch or dinner at Wicked Bao, a local favorite for seasonally inspired Asian fusion cuisine. Splurge on a luxurious dinner at the Ritz-Carlton’s SALT, where ingredients are sourced from an organic, all-natural farm that gorws varietals for flavor. Transport to Provence at Les Clos, a family-owned French restaurant with a darling outdoor courtyard.
