Resorts on Florida Beaches

This list of resorts on Florida beaches is one of my all-time favorites from last year, and I’m excited to re-share it for anyone dreaming of a sunny, adults-only escape.

Since many of you are craving vacation inspo, here’s a round-up of reader favorites you may love—stunning resort recommendations along Florida’s shores.

When I initially asked for your picks for a quick, kid-free beach retreat, you came through big time. It was hard for us to pick, but we ended up staying (and falling in love with) the St. Pete Beach at the Don Cesar Resort—a ginormous pink palace that had it all: a gorgeous room, multiple pools, daily beach setups, restaurants, bars, and even ice cream and candy shops. It was the perfect little escape.

Alright, as promised, I’ve rounded up the recommendations below! All of these places look absolutely incredible for a getaway with friends or your significant other.
