Nestled on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in magnificent Clearwater Beach
Between its modern design, rooms that boast panoramic Gulf views, and some of the best dining in Clearwater, it’s no wonder Opal Sands is a beloved Florida Gulf Coast hotel. But – believe it or not – there will be more to love with the coming addition of neighboring “sol mate” property, Opal Sol (opening Feb 2025). In fact, since Opal Sands will be linked to Opal Sol via a glass-encased sky-bridge, guests will soon receive exclusive access to the amenities of both resorts. Collectively, that translates to 10 dining outlets, four sparkling pools, and two full-service luxury Opal Spas. But, of course, nothing beats the direct access to the white sand beach that has been rated by USA Today as the “Best Beach in Florida.”
Opal Sands Holiday Savings
Whether heavy hitters like Christmas or Thanksgiving or more modest occasions like Labor Day or Columbus Day, Opal Sands Resort & Spa is always serving up savings to get you a steal of a deal on a holiday-based retreat, year-round.
