- Winter (December – February)
Mild coastal escapes and festive Savannah
Savannah and the Golden Isles stay mild while holiday lights fill the historic squares. Oyster roasts and fireside lowcountry dinners define the season.
The Area
Georgia spreads from the Atlantic shore and the Golden Isles inland across rolling Piedmont country to the southern tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Augusta sits on the Savannah River at the state's eastern edge, a graceful city famed worldwide for golf and shaded by historic neighbourhoods such as Summerville. Elsewhere, Savannah's moss-draped squares, Atlanta's cosmopolitan energy and the lake country around Clarks Hill define the region. The climate is warm and humid-subtropical, with long, lush springs and mild winters. Luxury villas in Georgia reflect this range, from columned estates and riverside retreats to modern homes set among pines and manicured gardens, offering generous indoor and outdoor living for visitors drawn by sport, history and Southern hospitality.
Where to Stay
Augusta is the natural base, particularly for golf travellers who want to be close to the action each April. Villas in and around Summerville and the leafy districts near the river deliver privacy, space and elegant interiors within easy reach of the city. For a coastal stay, the Golden Isles and Savannah offer historic charm and beach access, while the lake country and Blue Ridge foothills suit those seeking mountain air and water sports. A curated collection of luxury villas across these areas provides private pools, expansive entertaining space and concierge support, ideal for groups gathering for a tournament or families wanting room to spread out.
Things to Do
Golf defines much of Georgia's appeal, with Augusta synonymous with the sport and surrounded by courses for every level of player. Beyond the fairways, explore the Augusta Riverwalk along the Savannah River, the city's antebellum and Victorian architecture, and the Augusta Museum of History. Day trips reach Savannah's historic squares and River Street, the beaches of the Golden Isles, and the hiking and waterfalls of the Blue Ridge. Clarks Hill Lake offers boating, fishing and swimming within a short drive of Augusta. With a private villa as your base, a Smiling House concierge can arrange tee times, transfers, private chefs and bespoke excursions.
Dining & Nightlife
Georgia's table is rooted in Southern tradition, from shrimp and grits and fried chicken to barbecue, pecan pie and peach desserts in season. Augusta's Broad Street and the Riverwalk district gather restaurants, cocktail bars and live-music venues, with the scene swelling each spring around the golf calendar. Coastal Savannah adds Lowcountry seafood and refined dining among historic settings, while Atlanta offers a celebrated, internationally minded food culture. Many guests prefer to dine in: a luxury villa with a full kitchen and outdoor terrace is perfectly suited to a private chef preparing regional specialities, which your concierge can readily arrange.
When to Visit
Spring and autumn are the most rewarding seasons. March to May brings blooming azaleas, dogwoods and warm, comfortable days, with early April the peak moment for golf and the busiest, most sought-after week for villa stays. September to November offers mild temperatures and thinner crowds, ideal for sightseeing and the coast. Summers are hot and humid but excellent for lake and beach days, while winters stay relatively mild and quiet, well suited to a peaceful retreat. Booking well ahead is essential for spring golf travel, when demand for luxury villas in Georgia peaks.
Getting There
Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) serves the eastern part of the state with connections through major hubs, placing visitors close to the city and its courses. For wider access, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) is one of the world's busiest airports, roughly a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Augusta, with extensive domestic and international flights. Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) suits coastal stays. A car is the most practical way to explore Georgia's spread of towns, coast and mountains. Smiling House concierge can coordinate private transfers, car hire and seamless arrival at your villa, particularly valuable during peak golf season.
