Leave behind the mainland and sneak away to these heavenly hideaways.
Jekyll Island Club Hotel, Jekyll Island, Georgia
You probably don’t vacation with an entourage that requires a 25-room mansion, but a century ago you might have―if you were a Rockefeller. In the late 1800s, America’s business elite began gathering at Jekyll Island each year for winter vacation. Some stayed in the extravagant clubhouse; others built grand holiday homes nearby. The Jekyll Island Club Hotel now occupies the clubhouse and several other historic buildings, including a couple of the cottages, keeping up the standards splendidly. You can wander the 240-acre Millionaire’s Village and envision yourself in the Gilded Age. And you can play golf and tennis, cruise around the island by bicycle, inhale the fresh salt air on the beach, and ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Rooms from $149; 800/535-9547 or jekyllclub.com.
