Unmatched Excellence

Since 1928, Sea Island has been known as an exceptional destination appealing to those who appreciate luxurious accommodations, gracious service, and heartfelt hospitality. The resort features five miles of private beach, a Beach Club, tennis and squash centers, Yacht Club, Shooting School, and Camp Cloister, as well as three championship golf courses. The only U.S. resort to host a G-8 Summit of world leaders, Sea Island also provides exceptional settings and service for conferences and executive retreats. This year, The Cloister at Sea Island, The Lodge at Sea Island, The Georgian Room restaurant, and The Spa at Sea Island have earned coveted FiveStar designations in Forbes Travel Guide’s 59th annual list of Star Award-winning hospitality establishments worldwide. This makes an amazing nine years in a row that Sea Island has swept the Five-Star awards, receiving four prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star ratings. What’s truly remarkable, however, is that Sea Island is the only resort in the world that has earned four Five-Star ratings for nine consecutive years. That is a phenomenal accomplishment! Since its opening in 2001, The Lodge at Sea Island, an intimate 40-room hideaway surrounded by stunning ocean views and impeccably groomed championship golf courses, has been recognized as a Forbes Five-Star property. The elegant Georgian Room was first awarded the Five-Star rating in 2008 and is the only restaurant in the state of Georgia to carry this distinction. Following suit in 2009, The Cloister and The Spa at Sea Island also achieved Forbes Five-Star ratings. Recent improvements at The Cloister have increased its total available space for indoor and outdoor meetings and events to 87,000 square feet. The newly added Garden Wing comprises 63 beautiful new guest rooms, as well as an opulent 5,000-square-foot ballroom. “Sea Island is proud to once again earn the honorable Forbes Five-Star recognitions,” said Scott Steilen, President and CEO of Sea Island Company. “We are grateful for our dedicated staff who deliver gracious hospitality every day, which encourages our guests to return year after year.” Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Ratings recognize the finest hotels, restaurants, and spas in the world.
