The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island may just be the perfect east coast family resort destination for a classic summer beach vacation. Located on a barrier island in Northeast Florida, just thirty minutes from Jacksonville International Airport, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, is just a two hour flight from a number of cities. The hotel's oceanfront setting on 13 miles of dune lined beaches bordered by state parks to North and South, immediately offers a respite from the stresses of everyday life.

The luxury resort is offering the Amelia Island Breakaway with a $100 daily resort credit to use for adventures, relaxation, and everything in between.

No matter how long you stay, there are endless opportunities to share special moments.

1. Natural Adventures. For lovers of the outdoors, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island is paradise found, as activities are abound. Enjoy long and leisurely walks along the pristine, dune-lined beach while collecting shells and fossilized shark teeth. Build sand castles with complimentary kits. Escape from everyday life amidst moss covered ancient oaks in Northeast Florida's maritime forest. The surrounding salt marshes and nature preserves create the perfect environment of bicycling, bird watching, and hiking. There is even horseback riding on the beach and a boat tour to Cumberland Island where wild horses roam.

2. Kayak the Creek. Experience the thrill of a guided tour kayaking down Simpson Creek spotting Roseate Spoonbills and White Egrets seconds before they take flight. The creek meanders through the majestic beauty of Talbot Island State Park where the Timucua Indians once camped; living off nature's bounty and pirates sought backwater refuge from their pursuers.

3. Surrender to The Spa. Follow the ebb and flow of the ocean's tides with the Heaven in a Hammock treatment, a specialty of the Northeast Florida luxury spa. By combining the therapeutic benefits of zero gravity with light massage, rocking and stretching, this treatment soothes tension and induces deep relaxation. Book any treatment and stay for the day soaking in the sun at The Spa's adult-only, saltwater pool and rejuvenating in the eucalyptus-infused steam room and wet lounge.
