Three-story buildings arrayed in clusters along the shore house the one- and two-bedroom suites. Vacationing couples and families are attracted to the resort?s top-seeded tennis facilities, sandy beach, and activities for all ages.
Tennis magazine has rated this resort the No. 1 tennis resort in the nation for eight consecutive years: 1996?2004. The resort offers 21 hard and clay courts, complimentary court time, 10 instructors, clinics, round robins, and even a Tiny Tots Tennis program for children 6 and under. An outdoor pool overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. Beach activities include volleyball, windsurfing, kayaking, boogie boarding, and kayaking.
The Arctic Algae Body Treatment, the Fresh Air Oxygen Facial, Swedish massage, and more are available at the resort?s spa.
St. Armands Circle, known for fine dining, entertainment, and designer shops in a tropical setting, attracts visitors from around the world. Jazz concerts are presented here regularly. Located less than four miles from the resort, it?s a great place to see and be seen.
