South Seas Island Resort

Recently recovered from hurricane damage, the 330-acre South Seas Island Resort has undergone a $140 million rebirth, now offering 465 guest rooms and a new lagoon pool and cabana complex. The resort is uniquely positioned in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico as a self-contained community, accessible by boat from the sea or by bridge from the mainland. The Yacht Harbor can now accommodate boats up to 130 feet in length with 2,100 feet of dockage.

Guest amenities here include eleven swimming pools, tennis courts, a 9-hole executive golf course, two-and-a-half miles of beach, an off-shore sailing school, signature cruises, on-site rentals of bicycles, catamarans and sea kayaks, a grocery/deli store, a 24-hour business center, and 20,000 square feet of meeting space. Also on the premises are the Kay Casperson "Beauty Inside Out" Lifestyle Spa and Boutique and several restaurants, such as the Harbourside Bar & Grill for full-service dining and the Scoops & Slices shop for ice cream, candy, and pizza
