Explore Hilton Sandestin Beach

Discover Florida’s Gulf Coast

Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is the largest full-service beach resort on Florida’s Gulf Coast. We’re located right on the picturesque Gulf of Mexico in Miramar Beach, Florida—just a few miles from Destin, Florida. Surrounded by emerald water and sugar-white sand (which is unique to the Gulf) our beachfront property allows guests to go from the boardroom to the beach in just a few steps. If you’ve been dreaming of a beach meeting or a coastal conference—join us at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED, IN ONE PLACE

Our resort is easily accessible for your event attendees, located between three main regional airports that offer daily flights from hubs including Atlanta, Houston, Washington, Dallas, Nashville, Baltimore and Orlando. Once on property, your guests will find six seasonal dining venues ranging from an airy beachside cafe to a late-night lounge or our AAA Four-Diamond steakhouse. Elsewhere on property, guests enjoy two outdoor pools and one indoor pool, an on-site spa and 24-hour fitness center, and of course—beach access and unforgettable Gulf views. And for those who bring the family along, we offer a variety of kid-friendly amenities like in-room bunk-beds and Kids Krew programming. 

UNFORGETTABLE TEAM BUILDING

The experience at Hilton Sandestin Beach is about more than just the location—it’s about the unique team building opportunities our location offers. From Beach Olympics to watermelon bowling tournaments, beachside bonfires, sunset receptions on the pool deck and more, our team can curate an unforgettable conference experience with activities you won’t find anywhere else. Give your attendees an experience they’ll never forget by thinking outside the ballroom.

NEARBY ENTERTAINMENT & ATTRACTIONS

Outside our doors, guests will find a variety of nearby attractions. Nature lovers will enjoy state parks, nature preserves, and the opportunity to hike around rare Coastal Dune Lakes. Anglers love charting the waters in Destin, Florida, known as “the world’s luckiest fishing village,” and golfers will enjoy convenient access to four nearby golf courses. Shopping outlets, entertainment centers and dining options galore also dot the coast around our resort.
