Maybe you're drawn by the clear Gulf waters on our private white-sand beach. Or driven by our 45 holes of championship golf. Maybe it's the rejuvenating effects of our Island House Spa, or the fine wines and five-star dinners in Sands Pointe. Maybe it's our full-service 291-slip marina or the private balconies in our luxurious suites. Whatever it is, when you're at AAA Four-Diamond Florida resort, it's all here. And it's all yours. * The Resort at Longboat Key Club has exciting news about spa enhancements that began August 5, 2013. They anticipate the project will be finished by the third week of September 2013. Upon completion, guests will enjoy a completely new spa experience, including state-of-the-art treatment rooms, an enhanced relaxation room with separate men's and women's entrances and a new sauna and locker room area. During this transition, guests staying at The Resort may choose to enjoy a variety of in-suite spa services or treatments at their temporary mini-spa, Spa 5207, located in one of the luxurious suites. The renovation project will have no effect on guests staying at The Resort as the spa is housed in a separate building, quite a distance from the Resort Center. The following on site amenities remain: Challenging golf and golf instruction (a minimum of 18 holes will be available to hotel guests at all times) 20 Har-Tru tennis courts; 5 lighted for night play Fully-equipped state-of-the-art Fitness Centre Mind & Motion Exercise Studio Room Service and property dining from outdoor casual to indoor elegant Camp Loggerhead (supervised children's program for ages 5-12 years) Full Service Marina with direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway Water sports Miles of pristine white sand beach * Sands Pointe Located in the Resort Center, Sands Pointe flavors excellent dining with a sweeping vista of the Gulf of Mexico.
