It’s Officially Outside Weather

Fall looks a little different around here: cooler days, fewer crowds, and plenty of sunshine. From beach days and outdoor adventures to festivals, waterfront dining, and a full calendar of arts and culture, see why this might just be Sarasota’s best-kept season.

MAKE IT A FALL GETAWAY

HOLIDAYS & ACTIVITIES AT ZOTA BEACH RESORT

Come Celebrate With Us

There’s always something happening at Zota Beach Resort. From New Year’s Day through New Year’s Eve, you’ll find an array of holiday happenings and resort activities perfect to plan a special getaway around.

Three elegant red velvet booths with round tables and place settings are set within arched alcoves. Rich curtains frame each booth, creating a cozy, luxurious dining atmosphere. Patterned carpet runs along the floor.

Dining in the Dark

Join us at Cirque St. Armands signature restaurant, Ringside, November 4th from 6:00pm – 8:30pm

Step into the unexpected and leave sight behind for an evening designed to awaken the senses. Dining in the Dark is an intimate three-course culinary experience where taste, aroma, and curiosity take the lead.

Blindfolded from the first course to the last, guests will be invited to experience each dish without the influence of sight, heightening every flavor, scent, texture, and surprise along the way.

Before the evening begins, select your preferred entrée: meat, fish, or vegetarian. Then, surrender to the experience and let your senses guide you through an evening where nothing is quite as it seems.
