Hotels by Area

Your location on the island affects your experience. Here's how the two main areas compare.

πŸ–οΈ Resort Corridor (South)

Home to the Ritz-Carlton, Omni, and adjacent vacation rentals. This area feels resort-like with manicured grounds, golf courses, and a more exclusive atmosphere. Great for those who want everything on-site.

Best For: Luxury travelers, golfers, those who prefer resort amenities
Drawback: 15-20 minute drive to downtown Fernandina Beach

πŸ›οΈ Fernandina Beach Area (North)

Near historic downtown, Main Beach, and the island's restaurants and shops. More walkability and authentic local atmosphere. Mix of B&Bs, boutique hotels, and chain properties.

Best For: Downtown explorers, history buffs, those who prefer local flavor
Drawback: Fewer on-site amenities than resort properties

🏠 Consider a Vacation Rental?

Beach houses and condos offer more space, full kitchens, and often better value for families and groups. Many beachfront rentals sleep 6-8 people for less than a mid-range hotel.
