Boar's Head Resort
Boar’s Head Resort spreads across 600 Virginia acres with championship golf, elite racquet facilities, a full spa and classic country-estate rooms minutes from UVA.
Boar’s Head Resort sits just west of Charlottesville on a broad estate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, only minutes from the University of Virginia.
The accommodations favor a classic Virginia country-house style rather than contemporary resort minimalism. Rooms are spread among several buildings, while suites and cottages add fireplaces, balconies and more residential layouts.
Birdwood Golf is a major draw, with an 18-hole championship course, par-three course and practice facilities. The Sports Club adds unusually serious tennis, squash, padel, fitness and family recreation.
The spa, pools, hiking and Boar’s Head Outfitters make the property useful even for guests who do not golf, while The Mill Room gives the resort a polished dining centerpiece.
Boar’s Head is best for active travelers, UVA visitors and families who want a complete Virginia resort with enough sports and outdoor space to justify staying beyond a single night.
