The Cloister

Created in classic Mediterranean style, The Cloister was first designed by renowned Palm Beach architect, Addison Mizner, in 1928 and is a timeless and happy oasis of old-world elegance featuring terra cotta roofs and sunlit garden patios. Elegant and natural, The Cloister features ocean tides, winding rivers, salt marshes and miles of unspoiled shoreline. Private beach on the Atlantic and breathtaking sunsets over the Black Banks River. Lured by privacy, service, elegance and natural beauty, The Cloister's magical experience can be summed up in a single word- Tradition shared across generations. The Cloister is rich in beauty and natural habitat and offers an array of activities for children to adults. World Class Golf and Spa are among the featured attractions. Signature activities include educational and interactive experiences with our resident naturalist, kayak, and boat excursions for a closer look at the diversity of Sea Island, shooting school, horseback riding on beach or trail, and world-class tennis. Here, in short, is peace, and play, and freedom. -Howard Coffin, founder, Sea Island Company.
