Ultimate Spa Escapes: The Cloister at Sea Island, Georgia

When we hear the word "cloister" most of us think of a monestary or convent devoted to religious practices and seclusion, but  "cloister" also means a secluded, quiet place, or "to cloister" -- to seclude oneself away. 
In 1928, the founders of The Cloister at Sea Island, Georgia, created a family friendly hotel  on an island between the marshland and the sea, and, for the past 80 years, the warmth and hospitality has remained constant.  Instead of falling victim to the decades, this multi award winning hotel has grown to a complex of accommodations and facilities which are luxury class, and it boasts one of the best spa and wellness facilities in the state of Georgia.
