Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort sprawls across 2,400 acres of the Emerald Coast in Miramar Beach, FL — 30 village neighborhoods, 7 miles of sugar-white quartz sand, and the calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay. Pick your perch: Beachside towers and Beachfront balconies on the Gulf, Bayside Villas and Osprey Pointe over the bay, Lakeside cottages tucked in the trees, the Village & Grand Complex steps from Baytowne Wharf, or four-star Hotel Effie with the Ara Rooftop Pool. Every accommodation type — studios through 6-bedroom luxury homes, condos, villas, townhomes — and every one with full kitchen options. Voted #3 Best Resort in Florida and #50 in the World by Conde Nast Travelers Readers Choice 2025.

On-property: four championship golf courses (The Links, Baytowne, Raven, Burnt Pine — designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Rees Jones, and Tom Jackson), a 226-slip Baytowne Marina, Spa Lilliana, the Fitness Club of Sandestin, 15 outdoor tennis courts and a Pickleball Club, and four outdoor pools plus the Ara Rooftop. Dining runs from Marina Bar & Grill on the bay to Ovide fine dining and Sweetbay Coffee. The Village of Baytowne Wharf is the pedestrian entertainment district — 20+ restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, live music, and seasonal festivals. Free resort-wide tram service connects everything. Beyond the gates: Henderson Beach State Park, the 30A scenic highway, HarborWalk Village in Destin proper, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) twenty-five miles west.
