Experience the very best of Georgia’s Golden Isles
If there were ever a place where history meets hush-level calm, it’s Jekyll Island. And now, with a sweeping renovation that brings the island’s only full-service beachfront resort into fresh focus, The Westin Jekyll Island Beach Resort is making a name for itself as the coastal getaway we didn’t know we needed—but can’t wait to experience.
Nestled along the serene shoreline of one of Georgia’s Golden Isles, the Westin Jekyll Island has been quietly transforming into a true reflection of its roots. With an overhaul that touches everything from guestrooms to restaurants to resort experiences, this reimagined resort honors its surroundings while redefining Southern coastal luxury.
A Stay That Reflects the Soul of the Sea
Each redesigned room and suite at the resort offers something special—coastal colors, shiplap accents, calming textures, and views that go on for days. Select rooms feature private balconies with new furnishings that make sunrise coffee or post-beach cocktails feel like rituals worth keeping. Inspired by the tones of the Atlantic and the calm of island life, the interiors nod to Jekyll's natural beauty without overwhelming it.
Dining Rooted in the Region
The resort’s three new restaurant concepts, led by James Beard Award–nominated chef Lindsay Autry, are helping to rewrite the island’s food story.
· Willet’s Lowcountry brings the essence of coastal Southern cuisine to life—think Sweet-Tea-Brined Fried Chicken, Pickled Georgia Shrimp, and Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benedict, all served in a relaxed, breezy space with a screened veranda overlooking the ocean.
· Pour Tabby, the adjacent bar and lounge, keeps the spirit of the island alive in every glass, with signature cocktails like the Georgia Hurricane and Peach & Basil Smash. The menu? Southern-forward and fresh, with bites like Shrimp & Grits and a Southern Tomato Tart.
· Salty’s, the poolside grill, brings casual beach bites up a notch. Green Tomato Slaw Shrimp Tacos, Pimiento Cheese BLTs, fresh salads, and bento-box meals make it easy to fuel up for beach days or poolside lounging.
With menus spotlighting local seafood and seasonal ingredients, each restaurant reflects both Chef Autry’s culinary style and Jekyll’s sense of place—light, laid-back, and distinctly coastal Georgia.
Connecting to Nature, History, and Community
What truly sets the Westin Jekyll Island apart is how it encourages guests to lean in—to the land, the history, the slower pace. Through partnerships with local conservation groups, the resort offers guests experiences like marine biology walks and historical tours, tapping into Jekyll’s storied past and rich natural landscape.
Whether it's biking to Driftwood Beach, relaxing under a beach umbrella at Corsair Beach Park, or exploring the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, guests are invited to move at the island’s rhythm. And for those who crave a little luxury between excursions, there’s a resort pool just steps from the sand.
A True Beachfront Resort in the Golden Isles
Location is everything—and at the Westin, you’re in the heart of it all. Just steps from the Jekyll Island Convention Center and surrounded by trails, shops, and museums, the resort is a perfect basecamp for exploration or restoration. Guests enjoy complimentary beach service, bike rentals, and thoughtful amenities that make vacation feel effortless.
More than just a renovation, the transformation of The Westin Jekyll Island Beach Resort marks a new chapter for hospitality on Georgia’s coast. It's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty and culture of Jekyll Island in comfort and style.
