With sweeping views of blue skies and golden sand, life at the WaterColor Inn & Resort truly resembles art.
EXPERIENCE
WaterColor Inn & Resort, located in a small coastal community in Northwest Florida, is an ocean-lover's playground. A paradise of traditional Floridian architecture, set along the coast of Santa Rosa Beach with panoramic views of the emerald green Gulf of Mexico, this lavish resort feels more like an upscale beach house than a hotel. It's the perfect base from which to canoe, kayak, swim, or charter a fishing expedition.
Feeling a bit waterlogged from all that sea air and ocean activity? Take the party inland for the day with a round of golf at the nearby Tom Fazio-designed world-class golf course, or stay on-site for a match in the WaterColor Tennis Center. And after a day of sun, sand, surf, and turf, what better way to unwind than over a steaming plate of Florida Hopper Shrimp and glass of Cakebread Chardonnay at the casually chic Fish out of Water? For dessert, consider a Pineapple Papaya treatment at the hotel's InnSpa.
