By Jaime Luckey and Ashley Hesseltine
Is it engagement season or has the sweet arrow of happy coupledom struck on target more than usual this summer? Everywhere we look men and women are pairing up for their trips down the aisle. And, we couldn’t be happier for the soon-to-be-married. Well, we could be happier, but that attitude adjustment requires confirmation that we’ll either have a hot date for all of these weddings or we’ll meet someone hot at a reception. Throw us a bone here! We’ll reward you with a memory-making Georgia getaway.
Whether you seek accommodations, dining and entertainment for an overnight bachelor/bachelorette party or for a weekend girl/guy getaway, you needn’t shell out hundreds of dollars for travel. Georgia is home to several top-rated resorts, wineries and spas located within a five-hour drive of Atlanta.
The King and Prince Golf & Beach Resort, St. Simons Island
Celebrating 75 years on the island, The King and Prince is a 195-room oceanfront resort popular with singles, couples and families. With Mediterranean design and Southern charm, the King and Prince offers ocean front rooms, partial ocean view rooms, resort view rooms, ocean front one-bedroom suites, two- and three-bedroom beach villas, and private guest houses.
During summer months, the resort is filled with family vacationers; however, the remainder of the year, when the kiddos are back in school, The King and Prince caters to girl/guy getaways, couples’ excursions and romance, providing a variety of activities to keep you and your group entertained, even if all you want are food and drinks.
Recreation
The King and Prince Golf Course – Home of the Hampton Club: renewed and restored by former Augusta National superintendent Billy Fuller, the award-winning 18-hole, Par 72 King and Prince Golf Course features an extraordinary practice facility with a 6500-square-foot putting green and a 3000-square-foot chipping green. In addition to swinging their clubs among ancient forests and vast salt marshes, golfers can relax in the Clubhouse, buy at the Pro Shop, and receive PGA certified instruction.
The Royal Treatment Cottage: right from the front porch, the historic beach cottage invites guests into a calming atmosphere. With a fireside relaxation lounge and tranquil, therapeutic elements, the Royal Treatment Cottage offers an assortment of massages for singles, couples and groups, including Swedish, Aromatherapy, and Reflexology.
Activities: tennis, swimming—one indoor and four outdoor pools, not to mention the ocean—and fitness Center.
