Here are some more photos from a trip to Sea Island.

SEA ISLAND, Ga. — 59th

Known for luxurious accommodations and genuine hospitality, Sea Island is the only resort in the world that has earned four Five-Star ratings for nine consecutive years. The Lodge at Sea Island, an intimate 40-room hideaway surrounded by stunning ocean views and three championship golf courses, has been recognized as a Forbes Five- Star property since its opening in 2001, and the elegant Georgian Room, first awarded the Five-Star rating in 2008, is the only restaurant in the state of Georgia to carry this distinction. In 2009, The Cloister and The Spa at Sea Island followed suit and were also honored with Forbes Five-Star ratings. Recently, The Cloister added a new Garden Wing comprising 63 beautiful new guest rooms, as well as a 5,000-square-foot ballroom, bringing the total space available for indoor and outdoor meetings and events to 87,000 square feet.

“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.”
