Overview
Inspiration for the Sandpearl Resort has at its foundation the pristine beauty of Clearwater Beach. With this majestic source of inspiration, we have created the caretaker of Clearwater Beach’s grand history as a place to gather, renew, recharge and delight. Just as its predecessor (The Clearwater Beach Hotel) had served on these sugar white sands, Sandpearl brings the spirit of caring relations, natural conservation and the tending of history for generations to come.
Sandpearl Resort opened on August 27, 2007 as the first new beachfront resort on Clearwater Beach in over 25 years. The luxury resort features a 253 guest rooms and suites, a full-service spa and fitness center, upscale and casual dining, state-of-the-art meeting & event space, and enrichment programs. Sandpearl is also designed with environmental stewardship in mind. It is a designated member of the Florida Green Lodging Program and is on track to earn its LEED® certification.
Accommodations
The Sandpearl Resort has been meticulously designed to capture the sophisticated, yet comfortably casual essence of Southwest Florida, providing a new destination resort for upscale, discerning travelers and an exceptional gathering area for the Florida Gulf Coast.
The 201 standard guest rooms have an open, airy feel with balconies (in most) and high ceilings. Each room includes elegant, yet comfortable furnishings, fixtures and rich textured fabrics. 52 suites, located on the top two floors of the resort, offer one and two-bedroom floor plans. These suites have been sold to owners who have personal use of the rooms. The hotel also features a Presidential Suite with striking Gulf views.
