Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa

Golfers will appreciate the 15-acre Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa for its exclusive access to the The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, a much acclaimed championship-level PGA layout. But there is much more to enjoy than lush fairways and emerald greens. Nature surrounds the resort with moss-draped oaks and blooming magnolias, while a beautiful blue Atlantic lagoon awaits guests just steps from every room.

Positioned on the resort's private beachfront is the Cabana Beach Club, with its beach-rental equipment and access to two freshwater pools, one junior-Olympic-sized and the other for toddlers. A supervised recreational program called Xplorers is available for children aged 5 to 12.

The Spa at Sawgrass is a 25,000-square-foot world-class spa, featuring a dozen private massage rooms, four skincare rooms, two hydrotherapy rooms, and a couples' massage room. There are private locker rooms for men and women, each containing a steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, and relaxation lounge. Complementing these are a nail-care studio, a workout studio, a movement studio, and an outdoor heated pool.

Also on the property are seven restaurants and two lounges, a 56,000-square-foot conference and event space, and private villas, in addition to the guestrooms, which have been newly renovated with contemporary furnishings, luxurious bedding, flat-screen plasma TVs, and granite countertops in the bathrooms. The Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa is located at 1000 PGA Tour Boulevard, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida 32082.
