History of the ICONA Windrift Resort Hotel in Avalon

Among Avalon, NJ beachfront hotels, the Windrift has been a beloved getaway destination for years. The hotel opened its doors in 1967 and was family owned and operated for more than five decades. In 2021, ICONA Resorts added the Windrift in Avalon, NJ to its collection of luxury hotels at the New Jersey Shore. Together with oceanfront developer Achristavest Properties and Caritas Construction, ICONA Resorts launched a multi-million renovation project immediately following the acquisition, updating the Windrift’s accommodations, restaurants, and common areas. Today, the Windrift offers a wide range of premium amenities, setting the stage for an unforgettable escape.
