The Perfect Weekend Getaway to The Westin Jekyll Island

Come along as we explore the Westin Jekyll Island, a spot for a perfect weekend getaway off the coast of Georgia. The ocean front property offers easy access to more than 22 miles of biking and hiking trails. There are several room options ranging from traditional rooms to expansive suites, and almost all of them have balconies that show off the ocean views. When it comes to dining, you don’t want to miss seasonal flavors found at the Reserve Restaurant, which is open for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Next door you will find the Jekyll Islands Beach Village Project, which includes an oceanfront promenade, restaurants and boutiques. It’s also driving distance to the island’s National Historic Landmark District, a place where you can hop on a tram tour and you will have the chance to see the cottages of some of the islands most famous residents.

The likes of J.P. Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, William Vanderbilt and John Rockefeller all lived here when the island was a private club for some of America’s most elite.
