Nestled on the Florida Gulf 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 is more to love now with the recent addition of neighboring “sol mate” property, Opal Sol. In fact, since Opal Sands is linked to Opal Sol via a glass-encased sky-bridge, guests 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.”

Both locations provide everything for a perfect day in the sun: towel service, lounge chairs under swaying palms, and more.

Beach

With the resorts’ optimal locations on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll have a front row seat to one of the most coveted stretches of coastline in the country. From Opal Sands, just follow the gentle sand ramp to the beach; from Opal Sol, it’s just a quick street crossing to the Beach Walk promenade.
