"Perfection in Paradise"
Pensacola Beach is known to travelers across the world for its powdery, white sand and clear, emerald waters. With attractions ranging from snorkeling and diving to the wonders of its area museums, it is a fantastic destination for families, couples, or anyone just needing to "get away from it all".
However, rising like a tropical oasis from the sand is a reason all in itself to visit Pensacola Beach. The Portofino Island Resort welcomes visitors every year with its almost other-wordly promise of splendor beyond comparison, magnificent views, and activities that will make the prospect of ever leaving the property seem ridiculous.
The Portofino Island Resort seems almost fictional, as its five towers, containing over 300 luxurious accommodations called "Sky Homes", are contained on 8 miles of utterly unspoiled beach on the Gulf Island National Seashore. The property is situated absolutely perfectly between the waves of the Gulf of Mexico and the tranquil waters of the Santa Rosa Sound. It is often said that location is key, but the coining of that phrase definitely could have originated at the Portofino Island Resort!
When traveling with your family, activities and amenities are a must. Even a honeymoon getaway will appreciate a romantic kayak adventure, or a late afternoon bike ride. So the Portofino Island Resort has a package to ensure that each day offers a healthy mix of adrenaline and relaxation! With offerings that may include WaveRunners, Paddle Boards, Surf Boards, Kayaks, Bicycles, Boogie Boards, Volleyball, Tennis, and SO much more, guests may even enjoy dolphin, sunset, and other themed catamaran cruises!
Also located on the Sound is the Adventure Cove Water Park. This will keep your family entertained for hours, as they jump on the water trampolines, shoot off the slide into the warm water, or experience the resort's version of "rock climbing".
And for those of you whose only objective is to relax on the gorgeous, white sand, settle down in a chair on the edge of the Gulf, or stretch out near the Sound, and experience the absolute tranquility that the Portofino Island Resort has truly mastered, then you have arrived in paradise! When your only choice for the day is Gulf or Sound side, then you are truly on vacation!
If you somehow have managed to control your excitement until this point, one look at the resort's main swimming pools will change that. Two fantastically beautiful infinity pools are the focal point of this magnificent area, overlooking the lovely Santa Rosa Sound. Two hot tubs flank these swimming areas, with a bar close by, offering up expertly crafted libations. And can't tear yourself away from the pool long enough to eat? At this resort, everything is "as you wish", with poolside servers delivering mouth-watering sandwiches and snacks, alongside the beach's best Strawberry Daiquiri! Directly adjacent is an indoor swimming pool, complete with "Dive-In" movies! And if you still are in need of other swimming options, a pool and hot tub oasis are located at each of the five towers. Yes, that would make a grand total of EIGHT swimming pools!
Overlooking the main swimming area is the Lifestyles Center, the main hub of the resort. Here guests will find Spa Portofino, the Fitness Center, Starbucks, gift shops, and delicious dining options.
The Terracotta Restaurant offers Southern coastal cuisine in a comfortable, elegant atmosphere that is perfect for a special occasion. If you have something a bit more casual in mind, Terrazzo Grille offers salads, sandwiches, and burgers in a fun, contemporary setting. Tempting, stone-baked pizza is served at Pizza Portofina, and can even be delivered to the comfort of your suite! However, if you have something a little more unique in mind, the Chef-To-You service will prepare a gourmet meal right in your own kitchen. The Portofino Island Resort never ceases to amaze!
If you'd even like to try a night out on the Portofino Boardwalk, don't even think about getting into your car! You may take the catamaran across to have a delectable meal or open a bottle at the Wine Bar.
Now, while the Portofino Island Resort may offer unprecedented amenities, the accommodations battle back, perhaps even upstaging that amazing dolphin cruise! If you think that you have previously found a "nice vacation spot", these designer Sky Homes will spoil you forever, making a stay at a regular hotel a compromise that you will not be willing to make!
Two and three bedroom units are available, and they offer all of the comforts of home, plus a few that you can only dream you have at home! Fully equipped with a convenient, comfortable experience in mind, each sanctuary offers a fully-equipped kitchen, spacious closets with extra linens and pillows, a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and outdoor grills. The two bedroom offers 1,333 square feet of living space, including a large, 170 square foot balcony. The three bedroom offers an astounding 2,034 square feet for family living, including an enormous, 427 square foot balcony. Each unit is individually decorated, making each space extremely unique, with plenty of extra touches like flatscreen televisions, dvd players, and luxurious furnishings.
