VUE

While each property is unique in its own right, Ponte Vedra Beach Resorts is well- regarded for its award-winning country club charm and incredible service, thanks to an expertly trained staff of over 700 and 85+ years of established elegance. The Inn and Lodge are separated by just a mile and a half and are accessible via shuttle, with both properties offering their own variety of recreational activities and dining options open to everyone. The Inn & Club is where you'll find a sportier style of retreat, appealing more towards families or the active vacationer with two 18-hole golf courses, 15 Har-Tru clay tennis courts and an 8,000-square- foot state-of-the-art fitness center. Parents can lounge beside any of the four oceanfront pools or indulge in over 100 treatment options at the property's top- rated luxury spa while kids partake in activities at the playground. The Lodge & Club, on the other hand, is a much more intimate setting ideal for couples or anyone in need of some R&R. Compared to its sister property which houses a combined 249 guestrooms and suites, the Lodge only has only 66 ac- commodation offerings, each one newly renovated and exclusively designed with mahogany furniture, plush bedding, mar- ble bathrooms and in some cases, in-room fireplaces and kitchenettes. The Lodge also has two heated pools, a smaller fit- ness center, daily afternoon high tea and an outdoor fire pit for guests to enjoy. The culinary program at Ponte Vedra Beach Resorts is undoubtedly the focal point of any stay. From chic and casual restaurants to bars and lounges, the resort seizes every opportunity it has to create unforgettable dining experiences. From dinner on the golf course to breakfast on the beach [available upon request], both the Inn and the Lodge have their own array of amazing culinary offerings. The Seahorse Grille is the Inn's signa- ture restaurant which welcomes guests to a behind-the-scenes look at the food in- dustry known as the Chef's Table. Made from locally-sourced redwood, the literal Chef's Table seats up to four people and is located inside the Seahorse Grille's kitchen, treating guests to a customized tasting menu crafted by Chef de Cuisine, Erik Osol. At Ponte Vedra Beach Resorts, days can be spent strolling the grounds, taking in the oceanfront views and embracing the laid-back lifestyle for which the vil- lage is known. For some, it will quickly start to feel less like vacation and more like home. VUE ON TRAVEL V U E N J . C O M 89
