Nature activities include bird watching (238 species), biking on Sanibel's 24-mile paved trails, and canoeing. The Kay Casperson Lifestyle Spa offers skincare, wellness products, and treatments.
Location & Nearby
The resort is on Sanibel Island, known for shelling (250+ species). Nearby landmarks include Tahitian Gardens (1.5 km), Bailey Homestead Preserve (1.5 km), and the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum. Page Field Airport is 35 km away. The island has a four-mile scenic drive and access to the Sanibel Sea School.
Services & Events
The resort has 23,000 sq ft of meeting space for up to 300 guests, with nine rooms and audiovisual equipment. Family activities include children's programs and beach access. The Sanibel Community Church is 1.5 km away. BIG ARTS hosts performances, films, and workshops nearby.
“Nestled on Sanibel Island, this property aims to deliver an engaging experience, particularly for families, with its prime shelling beach and varied recreational facilities. From what I gathered, the resort focuses on blending relaxation with activity, featuring multiple heated pools, a luxury spa, and unique dining experiences, including a Japanese steakhouse. Although still recovering, I see potential in its extensive event spaces and family-oriented activities, suggesting it could again be a notable destination for both vacations and corporate events.”
