Palm Island Resort

A Serene Island Getaway...

Escape to Palm Island Resort, a place of stunning beauty at a pace that lets you truly take it in. Here, the spectacular sunsets allow time to stand still. And once you arrive by boat or car ferry, you’ll never want to leave. Spend your days playing tennis on the resort’s 11 courts or swimming in its five pools and spas; then rent bikes to explore the island or kayaks to discover the beauty of the sea. Travel on crushed-shell roads to your very own private home or villa with a fully-equipped kitchen, your own washer and dryer, and a screened terrace. Finish your day off at Palm Island Resort’s Rum Bay Restaurant for some finger-licking ribs or its Johnny Leverocks Seafood House for a fresh seafood feast. Stay in an elegant, privately-owned tropical villa or vacation home!

Beach

This private, pristine beach on the Gulf of Mexico graces the northern end of the seven-mile-long Palm Island, and the resort gives you everything you need to enjoy it. Canoeing, kayaking and snorkeling are daily activities; charter a boat for some deep sea fishing. Or, just stroll along the sand in this motorless heaven!

Ecotourism

Along with all the serene coastal wildlife you'll find here, plus the way that Palm Island Resort blends with its surroundings, you'll quickly discover that this is a motorless island - no cars, motorcycles or buses. The only way to get here is by boat. And the best ways to get around are by bike, and by foot.

Family

Here, privacy and serenity meet family fun with plenty of activities for children. The resort features two playground areas, a recreation center and special programs including nature hunts, self-guided bicycle nature tours, scavenger hunts, sandcastle building contests, arts & crafts, shell hunts, shell crafts and more.

Island

You can only get here by boat or car ferry, and once you do you'll find that these seven heavenly miles of Palm Island mean more than just an ordinary getaway. There's plenty of seashore to explore, perfect for shell-seeking; you will never forget the spectacular sunsets you can enjoy right from your private island villa.

Luxury

Everything you could hope for is here: five heated pools, 11 tennis courts with a pro shop, lessons, clinics and events, a fitness center and more highlight these amazing privately-owned villas and vacation homes. Villas share a hydra spa, gas barbecue and a heated swimming pool, with full kitchens and all the amenities.

Nature

Committed to preserving this special place, the resort places great importance on the local marine and wildlife. Visit the Nature Center, meet the resort's naturalist and take a beach tour featuring sea turtle hatchlings. You can see dolphins and amazing manatees; and year round, you'll find a variety of native birds.

Romantic

The spectacular sunsets here are just the start for you and that special someone. Feel your romance blossom along the sandy shores, or among the elegant gazebos; choose a one-bedroom Beach Villa with the individual decor that's just right for you. This is an amazing place to reconnect!

Villas And Condos

Each villa is privately owned, with its own unique decor. Choose the one for you: if you're arriving by boat, a Bay Villa sits next to the island docks, and if you're here for the sand, a Beach Villa provides stunning views of the beach and the ocean. One- or two-bedroom configurations are available.
