Who We Are

Amelia Island Plantation Property Owners share in a special development process designed to harmoniously blend residential/resort uses and amenities with the spectacular natural environment of Amelia Island. This process started in the early 1970’s when the Sea Pines Company of Hilton Head, South Carolina, purchased the south end of Amelia Island. The Master Planning Process for what has become Amelia Island Plantation focused on designing in harmony with nature.

To support the implementation of the Master Plan, development standards were incorporated into a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the community. The Covenants and Restrictions were recorded against the land and bind all owners to its enforcement.

Additionally, the Covenants and Restrictions established an architectural control process to review and approve all new construction, additions and alterations to existing structures, and other changes to the natural environment. The Amelia Island Plantation Architectural Review Board (ARB) was established to implement this process.
