Experiences

Lounge in the shade in a private cabana or embrace the Florida sunshine in our zero-entry Gulf front pool with expansive views of the water. Relaxing lounge chairs, friendly pool attendants, and a laidback atmosphere offer all the makings of a perfect Florida afternoon. Refuel poolside with light fare like fresh salads, snacks, sandwiches, and handcrafted cocktails from Reflections Poolside Bar. Split your time between the pool deck and the sugary sands of the beach for the best of both worlds.

If you like to break a sweat on vacation, we’ve got you covered with our fitness center, which is thoughtfully stocked with advanced cardio and strength training equipment to keep you at your peak. Opal Sands is also one of the rare Clearwater Beach hotels to offer Peloton Bikes, which each include a shoe cage and SPD pedals if you have your own shoes. Enjoy complimentary access to the center and take advantage of our treadmills, cross trainers, and strength machines. If you prefer to stretch or practice yoga, enjoy our fitness mats and yoga balls.

The walls and halls of Opal Sands are adorned with commissioned pieces by artist Christopher Still, whose work celebrates the beauty of Clearwater Beach. Still has created stunning original pieces in addition to overseeing select acquistions, and designer Duncan Miller Ullmann outfitted the resort and its guestrooms with contemporary décor inspired by the unique hues of the Clearwater Coast. Still took inspiration from the words “color, reflect, and restore” when bringing Opal Sands’ works to life. Stroll through the resort taking in some of his creations as well as works by Mark Aeling, Bluworld, Arnold Ruiz, Daryl Vaughn, and Carrie Jadus.

With our optimal location 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. Lounge the afternoon away amongst the powdery white sand and turquoise waters just steps from the resort. Relax with a beach cabana or lounge chair as you watch the gentle Gulf waves or get lost in a book. Walk just a few minutes along the shore to experience some of the most vibrant offerings of Clearwater Beach, or hang back at the resort for a undisrupted tranquility.

Inspired by the sights, sounds, and scents of Opal Sands’ Clearwater Beach surroundings, the Spa at Opal Sands features a range of treatments designed to restore the body and mind. Enjoy a facial, massage, or mani/pedi in the soothing atmosphere of our tranquil space. Choose from treatments including botanical crush scrubs, quenching aloe wraps, and other massages designed to help you replenish, revitalize, and escape to bliss. By the time you step outside the Spa’s doors and back onto the plush sands of Clearwater Beach, you’ll be in a whole new world of rest and relaxation.
