Best Resort Experiences

Best Way to Romance & Relax

A day at Serenity by the sea Spa transcends the typical couples' massage experience. While the private treatment rooms and expert therapies set the foundation, the thoughtful touches make it exceptionally intimate. Couples can unwind in their respective saunas before sipping champagne and warming up by the fire in the couples’ treatment room.

With a full-service spa, salon, and fitness classes available, you could easily spend an entire weekend indulging in the award-winning list of treatments. Anyone can make an appointment at the spa, however, those who choose to stay at Hilton Sandestin Beach enjoy an unparalleled couples’ resort experience. The daily resort fee includes access to an array of amenities, including golf courses, yoga classes, and a stunning private, beach.

Best Beach for Couples

The private beach at our couples’ resort in Destin, Florida offers an ideal sanctuary for those seeking intimacy along Florida's Emerald Coast. Sink into comfortable beach chairs beneath a private umbrella, where the warm gulf breeze and calm emerald waters set the tone for blissful sun-soaking.

Thirsty? Destin, Florida is one of the few tourist destinations that allows drinking (seasonally) on the beach. In fact, at Hilton Sandestin Beach, you can toast to a romantic weekend right from your towel or chair with signature cocktails and small bites steps away at the Gulf-Front Sandbar.

Best Restaurant to Share an Intimate Dinner

Step into Seagar's Prime Steaks & Seafood and time seems to slow down. Beyond the expected fine dining flourishes like the prime steaks, an award-winning wine list and practiced service, there's an art to how each evening unfolds. Whether it's the gentle glow of candlelight dancing across intimate booths or the soft piano melodies floating through the room, every element works in concert to let couples focus solely on each other.

Alongside its renowned steak and seafood, the restaurant features a rotating menu of classically-inspired dishes and cocktails with a culinary twist. Couples can discover something new each time they visit, with seasonal flavors like pumpkin and apple cider in winter and citrus and florals in spring. Cap off your evening with the tableside preparation of Bananas Foster before retiring to your couples’ resort suite.
