Grande Villas at World Golf Village

Situated near the nation's oldest city of St. Augustine on Florida's sunny east coast is Grand Villas at World Golf Village®, a beautiful resort featuring all the comforts of home for you and your family.
A vacation at Grande Villas offers something for everyone. With 43 miles of white-sand beaches nearby, you could choose to enjoy a day of fun-in-the sun splashing in the waters of the blue Atlantic. History buffs will want to explore the narrow cobblestone streets of this former Spanish colonial town, where nearly 5 centuries of history collide in the best way with quaint cafes, inviting bars and restaurants, shops, art galleries and more. Ponce De Leon's legendary Fountain of Youth was discovered here near Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the U.S. built by the Spanish in 1672 to protect the city from pirate raids.

St. Augustine is also a mecca for golfers, so don't forget to pack your clubs and take advantage of two championship 18-hole courses designed by legendary golf pros Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. And that’s just for starters. There’s plenty to do for non-golfers, as well. Practice your backhand on the tennis courts, shoot some hoops on the basketball court, perfect your spike at the volleyball net or pump some iron in the fitness center. After you’ve worked up a sweat, cool down with some leisurely laps in the spectacular heated resort pool, or relax in the hot tub.

All of the World Golf Village® amenities are also yours to enjoy. Restaurants, shopping, an IMAX® theater and the World Golf Hall of Fame® are just a short walk away.

During the Christmas holidays (starting the Saturday before Thanksgiving), the city of St. Augustine lights up and becomes a festival of twinkling white lights as it hosts its annual Nights of Lights holiday display. Visitors and long-time residents alike are treated to a wonderland of lights adorning the ancient city, beginning at the Plaza de la Constitución, with its stunning holiday tree in the center and oaks strung with lights, and stretching out to illuminate all of St. Augustine's historic district. From roof shingle to doorway entrance, the downtown buildings take on a glow of holiday cheer, with millions of twinkling white lights covering the historic sites, bed and breakfasts, museums, restaurants and shops of the nation's oldest city.
