The Cloister Spa at Sea Island has held a Forbes Five-Star rating for more than a decade and runs to 65,000 square feet, which makes it the strongest non-golf draw on the property and a credible reason to take a half day away from the course.
You get 23 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pools, cold plunges, an indoor pool, and a full menu of massage and body treatments inside one of the largest resort spas in the southeast. Resort-guest-only access keeps the pace civilised and the hydrotherapy circuit uncrowded, which is the difference between a useful spa morning and a frustrating one. For a non-golfing partner, treatment plus circuit plus pool fills a half day without repetition. For golfers coming off an early round, it is the cleanest possible transition from the course to dinner.
Reservations required and best booked well in advance during peak season. Open to resort guests only. Treatments range from $115 for basic services to $410 and above for extended sessions, with a 25% service charge added to all bookings. Allow time for the hydrotherapy circuit before or after your treatment to get the full value out of the visit.
