Miramar Beach Shines After $35 Million Renovation at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa
Miramar Beach has become the talk of the town with the stunning revamp of the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. With a whopping $35 million makeover under its belt, this beloved resort is ready to impress sun-seekers and luxury lovers alike. It also marks a glamorous 40-year journey of welcoming guests to the charming shores of Northwest Florida.
Casual Elegance Awaits
With a fresh, coastal vibe, the Hilton Sandestin is split into two towers: Spa Tower and Emerald Tower. Nestled in between are the lobby, eclectic dining options, and a cute boutique for gifts and apparel. The lower level of the Spa Tower is home to the Serenity Spa, a well-equipped fitness center, and an inviting indoor swimming pool.
The heart of this paradise is a spectacular sundeck where palm trees sway alongside vibrant blue umbrellas, inviting guests to lounge by the pools or relax in comfy cabanas. And, just past the sundeck? The pristine Miramar Beach stretches out with sugary white sand and the mesmerizing emerald waves rolling in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Top-Notch Amenities
This lovely resort boasts 590 guest rooms and suites that redefine comfort with chic furnishings. My stay in a junior suite was absolutely delightful! The room, spacious and tastefully decorated, offered stunning views of the beach and the lively pools below. Featuring a cozy king bed, a sofa sleeper, and a fun bunk bed niche for kids, it’s perfect for families. Plus, each room has some handy amenities like a coffee station, mini-fridge, and a microwave.
A Beach Lover’s Dream
At the resort’s Beach Hut, guests can grab lounge chairs and umbrellas, creating their own private oasis on the beach. Seeking some adventure? They can set you up with kayaks, paddleboards, and beach volleyball. And don’t miss out on the resort’s two outdoor heated pools — perfect for a winter dip!
Relaxation and Wellness
The Serenity by the Sea Spa offers a robust menu with something for everyone, including touchless wellness treatments, making it a great option for those looking for a unique spa experience. I tried a heavenly Swedish massage followed by a fabulous hydrojet massage. Lying back as the warm waves of the bed worked their magic was pure bliss! I even added red light therapy to boost my wellness game, and let me tell you, I floated away into relaxation.
Delicious Dining Options
Food lovers will find paradise at Hilton Sandestin with its six onsite dining spots. For a fine dining experience, Seagar’s is the go-to place known for its prime beef and fresh seafood. With over 600 wines to choose from, you can’t go wrong here! Meanwhile, Sandcastles Restaurant serves up local flavors in a casual setting, offering an impressive breakfast buffet. And yes, you’ve gotta check out their new brick pizza oven!
