Nestled 2.6 miles from Lighthouse Beach Park in Sanibel, the wonderful Sundial Beach Resort & Spa Sanibel features six tennis courts. Featuring 65 rooms with views of the ocean, the 4-star luxury hotel is about 10 minutes' drive from Sanibel Historical Museum and Village.

Location

This resort, with a beautiful location in Sanibel, offers guests to relax by Sanibel Siesta Pond, which is situated 0.5 miles away. The Sanibel property is located approximately a 5-minute walk from a beautiful beach.

The Sanibel hotel allows you to enjoy such natural sights as Gulfside Public Beach approximately 15 minutes away by car.

Rooms

Some rooms at the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa Sanibel are appointed with an ironing set and climate control along with self-catering options such as coffee and tea making equipment. Furnished with a couch, these rooms have an adjoining terrace and a balcony. A separate toilet, along with such comforts as a hairdryer and bath sheets, are also provided.

Eat & Drink

Guests are invited to the onsite snack bar to unwind with a drink.

Leisure & Business

The property also includes 5 outdoor swimming pools and a tennis center. Thanks to a golf course, guests can stay fit at the charming Sundial Beach Resort & Spa.

“Nestled on Sanibel Island, this family-friendly resort presents a compelling case for those seeking both relaxation and recreation, especially the largest pickleball facility in the area with its twelve courts. With its prime shelling beach, multiple restaurants including a Japanese steakhouse, and flexible event spaces, the resort certainly aims to be a versatile destination. Though opinions may vary, I see potential in the property's blend of amenities and natural setting, especially its proximity to the J. N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge.”
