SOUTH SEAS ISLAND RESORT, FL
|
|
A resort village and wildlife sanctuary with boundless opportunities for relaxation and adventure, South Seas Island Resort in Captiva Island, Florida, spans two-and-a-half miles of shell-laden beaches framing the Gulf of Mexico. With new family amenities, the resort has redefined the travel experience for guests and solidified its reputation as one of America’s iconic family resorts.
Only 34 miles — yet a world away — Captiva Island is connected to Florida’s mainland via the Sanibel Causeway, joining it to neighboring Sanibel Island. On an island with no stoplights, billboards, fast-food restaurants or buildings higher than the tallest palm tree, Captiva’s South Seas Island Resort encourages guests to park their cars and explore by foot, bike and golf cart or on historic trolleys.
As one of Parents Magazine’s 2010 “Top 10 Family Beach Resorts,” South Seas Island Resort is nestled among a 330-acre wildlife sanctuary at the northern tip of the island. Offering a variety of programs and activities ranging from the nationally recognized Tiva Kids Club, tennis courts, a shopping village and nature tours to boating, fishing, sailing and a 9-hole golf course lining the ocean, South Seas is an ecologically balanced vacation destination ideal for families.
Part of the new family Go! Programs at the resort, kids learn the rules of rods and reels and how to respect the waters with Go! Fish. Home to hundreds of fish from tarpon and red fish to snook and trout, South Seas Island Resort presents the ultimate playground for families to practice "catch & release.”
Guests get their fill at the signature Harbourside Bar & Grille, one of four restaurants located at South Seas Island Resort. A whimsical venue with a coastal fishing village feel, Harbourside serves "Florida comfort food" and island cocktails. The Pointe restaurant overlooking the main pool offers the perfect spot for casual Caribbean fare with sweeping views of Pine Island Sound. Just around the corner from The Pointe, Scoops and Slices offers freshly baked wood-fired pizzas and ice cream, floats, old-fashioned malts and milkshakes in the 1950s-style diner.
South Seas Island Resort offers a multitude of retail-therapy options at the collection of charming boutiques found at Chadwick’s Square. The shopping village includes a Lilly Pulitzer VIA shop, The Beach House (a swimwear specialty store), Captiva Provisions Company (a gourmet market), Giggles (a children’s boutique), Captiva Blooms (a floral shop) and 2 Islands Art Gallery.
Just opened at Chadwick’s Square, The Kay Casperson Lifestyle Spa & Boutique inspires guests to discover “Beauty Inside-Out” and offers uniquely local spa experiences and products.
After a day of island activities, visitors return to 470 spacious accommodations with many overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Pine Island Sound or one of the resort’s two marinas. Perfect for travelers looking for residential options, as well as traditional hotel rooms, the resort offers private beach homes, charming Gulf Cottages, condominiums and villas.
