Looking for a lavish way to enjoy the season? We have plenty of great resorts in the Peach State. One of the very best luxury hotels in Georgia is the magnificent Cloister at Sea Island. This private island five-star hotel is the stuff of fantasies, and it's no surprise that it's especially magical at Christmastime. It looks like it jumped straight off the pages of a fairy tale at any time of year, but seeing it all decked out for the holidays is a true bucket-list-worthy experience. If you're looking for a great way to celebrate holiday festivities in Georgia while spoiling yourself, it doesn't get much better than a winter visit here!

When Christmas comes to Georgia, many think of traveling to our northern regions, where you are more likely to see snow. But sipping hot chocolate by the beach and listening to the waves roll in is a pretty spectacular experience and one of the best parts about enjoying the holidays at the Cloister at Sea Island.

While you're not going to see snow and pine trees outside here, there's plenty of sand and palm trees laden with lights. The Cloister is one of the top-rated hotels in Georgia, and the entire hotel property gets decked out for Christmas. To start, the outside of the property boasts no fewer than 100,000 dazzling lights. As you walk inside the hotel, you'll notice nearly 3,000 feet of Christmas garland combined with 95 decorated Christmas trees. It would be nearly impossible to not fall into the holiday spirit here!

There are all kinds of events going on during the holidays, too. You'll find carolers, kids' activities, a family fun run, and so much more. There's even a reindog parade with dogs in their holiday best!

The little ones will love visits with Santa and fun events like the Polar Express Extravaganza that will keep them occupied while you're at the formal adult parties. Looking for something a little more low-key? You and your crew will love the chance to decorate gingerbread houses or attend cooking demonstrations. There's so much to see and do here during the holidays that it's almost overwhelming!

The Cloister at Sea Island has been hosting huge Christmas celebrations since it opened back in 1928, and this year might just be the most festive season yet. Have you ever experienced holidays at the Cloister at Sea Island?
