Inspired by a Mediterranean villa, this oceanfront resort—with its white-stucco exterior and Spanish roof tiles—is luxury lodging at its best. Rooms are quite spacious and have cozy window seats, appealing artwork, and private balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Some units include a whirlpool tub and gas fireplace. Guests consistently praise staff for going the extra mile, whether it's accommodating special diets in the dining room or coordinating day trips and shopping excursions. Relax in one of three pools or on the private beach. Guests at the Lodge have full access to sports, recreation, and spa facilities at sister property Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, less than 2 mi away. Pros: high-end accommodations; excellent service; private beach. Cons: non-valet parking—can be a hike to and from car; most recreation facilities are off-site at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club; $18 gratuity charge automatically added to bill nightly.
