Amelia Island Plantation

Amelia Island, FL
Rate: $$

For Them: At this intimate Florida resort, kids can swim in the dreamy pool or chill at the beach, play tennis or golf, or take part in nature tours.

For You: Amelia Island's slow pace and natural, underdeveloped beachfront give the area a low-key vibe that can really help you unwind. The resort is one of Tennis magazine's top picks for its stellar tennis clinics and courts, and the resort offers both freshwater and deep-sea fishing for guests. This ecofriendly resort has a grand spa -- and a children's program to allow you the time to enjoy it.

Kids' Program: The kids' club accepts kids ages 4 to 12 for their day programs and their Friday and Saturday evening parties. A special teen and tween program for kids ages 9 to 15 includes adventures like Segway tours, kayaking and beach excursions. Both programs are for an additional charge.
