Jekyll Island Beach Village

Designed as an inviting extension of the Jekyll Island Convention Center, the Jekyll Island Beach Village blends hospitality, retail, and vibrant public spaces to create a dynamic coastal destination. This thoughtfully planned village fosters walkability, social engagement, and seamless connections to the island’s natural beauty, all while offering a welcoming retreat for visitors, residents, and business travelers alike.

At the heart of the development is a carefully curated mix of accommodations, including a 200-key full-service Westin Hotel and a 140-key limited-service Hyatt Place Hotel. These hospitality offerings cater to both convention attendees and leisure travelers, providing ocean views, resort-style amenities, and direct access to the island’s pristine beaches.

Anchoring the village is 40,000 SF of ground-level retail, designed to enhance the guest experience with a variety of shops, dining, and essential services. The retail hub features a local grocery store, an old-fashioned ice cream shop, boutique gift stores, cozy pubs, and diverse restaurants, while the second-floor professional office space serves both island residents and business visitors.

The Village Green, a central gathering space, was designed to support year-round events, live performances, and casual outdoor recreation. Featuring open lawns, shaded seating, and a direct visual connection to the Atlantic Ocean, this space encourages community interaction and fosters a lively, yet relaxed, coastal atmosphere.

Architecturally, the Beach Village embraces a casual coastal aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the surrounding Great Dunes Park and its laid-back, nature-infused setting. The village’s design prioritizes pedestrian flow, street-side dining, and an intimate, human-scale streetscape, where quaint storefronts and open-air patios invite exploration and socialization.

Seamlessly blending natural beauty with a thoughtfully designed built environment, Jekyll Island Beach Village is more than a development—it’s an experience. It reflects the island’s charm, history, and commitment to sustainability while supporting an active, vibrant community for residents and visitors alike.
