The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Matthew Ohlson, Ph.D. and The Taylor Leadership Institute at the University of North Florida. Their dedication to facilitating both curricular and co-curricular leadership education is truly inspiring. Through their rigorous and innovative programs, the institute emphasizes the promotion and reward of personal, civic, and community engagement. This partnership is invaluable as it significantly advances student leadership development, empowering individuals to become not just leaders in their fields but also active and engaged members of their communities. This week, our General Manager Gregory Cook received an honorary UNF jersey, celebrating his outstanding support for UNF’s C.A.M.P. Osprey program—the Career Achievement Mentoring Program.

The warm light of a romantic private fire in the dunes with the sound of breaking waves sets a mood that is long remembered! #RitzCarltonAmeliaIsland #AmeliaIsland #RCMemories

Catch the wind, sail to serenity. We gave our guests the perfect reason to sail into their dreams thanks to @Followthatdreamsailing.
