Miramar Beach: A Grand Makeover at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa

If you’re dreaming of a sandy getaway on the gorgeous Emerald Coast, look no further than the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. This popular destination has just undergone a spectacular $35 million renovation that’s already catching the eye of beach lovers everywhere. What’s even more exciting? This year the resort is celebrating its 40th anniversary of welcoming guests to the stunning Miramar Beach in Northwest Florida!

A First Look at the Revamped Resort

The renovations at Hilton Sandestin bring a fresh contemporary coastal vibe to its 590 guest rooms and suites, restaurants, and the delightful spa. This place is nothing short of casual luxury. The resort features two towers – the Spa Tower and the Emerald Tower – with a beautiful lobby and a chic boutique sandwiched in between.

But let’s not forget the heart of the resort – the stunning sundeck where guests can lounge under cobalt blue umbrellas, take a dip in the pool, or unwind next to the fire pit with a cocktail in hand. The beach, with its pristine white sand and azure waters, is just a hop away, making it truly the ultimate beach experience.

A Room With a View

During my stay, I was spoiled with a spacious junior suite that boasted a balcony overlooking both the inviting swimming pools and the shimmering beach. Inside, I found a luxurious king bed, a cozy sofa sleeper, and a quirky bunk bed nook for the kids – complete with its own TV! Plus, there’s a second vanity in the bathroom and a coffee station that comes complete with a mini-fridge; everything you need for a perfect beach stay.

Fun in the Sun

If you’re all about beach activities, then you’ll love the Beach Hut at the resort. They set you up with comfy lounge chairs and an umbrella, plus they can arrange everything from kayaks to stand-up paddleboards and even beach volleyball! If relaxation is more your speed, you can kick back at one of the two outdoor swimming pools that are heated for winter comfort.

Serenity Awaits at the Spa

And don’t miss out on the incredible Serenity by the Sea Spa, which is featuring some unique touchless wellness treatments. Ideal for those who might not want a traditional massage, you can experience a soothing hydrojet massage on a warming water bed. After all those waves of relaxation, I topped it off with a bit of red light therapy, said to boost collagen and overall wellness. I left the spa feeling like a million bucks!

Tantalizing Tastes

With six on-site dining options, you won’t go hungry at Hilton Sandestin. The star of the show is undoubtedly Seagar’s, a fine dining gem specializing in prime beef and fresh seafood that’s been awarded a AAA Four Diamond honor since 2000. If you’re in the mood for something relaxed, check out Sandcastles Restaurant for an all-day dining menu that’s bursting with local flavors!

Explore the Local Scene

Want to venture beyond the resort? No problem! You can hop on a complimentary tram to reach the nearby Village of Baytowne Wharf, a charming area filled with eateries, shops, and live entertainment. Don’t miss the chance to take a scenic cruise around the bay on the Solaris, a luxurious yacht where you might even catch a glimpse of playful dolphins!

With its breathtaking view, top-notch amenities, and exquisite dining, it’s no wonder Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa remains a premier destination for travelers seeking relaxation, adventure, and just a little bit of fun in the sun. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, indulging at the spa, or enjoying gourmet meals, this resort is a place you’ll want to return to time and again.
