Something for Everyone at South Seas Resort

South Seas Resort on Captiva Island has vacation life figured out. This 330-acre retreat is the ultimate getaway for those who love the beach, boating, fishing, shelling, and golf.

If you’re wondering how one resort can offer so many experiences, the best way to find out is by making the trek to this quaint island located three miles off the coast of Fort Myers, FL. Discover why vacationers from around the world visit Captiva to get away from the hustle of city life and luxuriate on one of south Florida’s best oceanfront getaways.

Depending on who you talk to, the beauty of this island was recognized as far back as the 1930s. In the early days, five-mile long Captiva went from being a Key Lime plantation to a fishing village. The site where South Seas now sits made a splash when it played host to a Christie Brinkley photoshoot that adorned the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1981.

The Beach, and Beyond

South Seas nearly three-mile-long white sand beach is the gift that keeps on giving. Seashell enthusiasts are crazy about the wealth of shells found along the resort’s Sunset Beach. Conch, Junonia, Lightning Whelk, Scott Bonnet, Lion’s Paw, Cockle, Scallops, and Murex can all be discovered on this slice of beach heaven facing the Gulf of Mexico.

For those who arrive at South Seas by boat, there’s Yacht Harbor and Bayside Marina.
If you love to cast a line, you’ll encounter pristine water, a shallow coast, and no large reefs. Captiva is a fishing haven for Redfish, Trout, Snook, Tarpon, Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, Cobia, and Mahi Mahi.

The resort is bursting with pride over the May 2024 opening of the new Clutch 12 hole golf course.  The Par 3 course delivers amazing ocean views and promises golfing fun for the whole family.

Vacation Accommodations

Guests choose from one to three-bedroom condos, cottages, or villa vacation rentals. If you need more space or privacy, there are also one to nine-bedroom oceanfront homes.

South Seas aims to please, regardless of the ambiance or view one desires. There are pool views, beach views, and golf course views. Whether your vacation is a generational get together or all about romance, South Seas and Captiva Island offer a custom fit to suit your vacation needs.

There is no better way to explore the island than with one of South Seas’ exclusive E-Z-GO golf carts. Four to six seat passenger carts are available to see the resort sights or head out for dinner at nearby Captiva Village.

In the meantime, the Tarpon Bar, Shell City Burgers, Island Tacos, Provisions Market, and Starbucks are all on hand to satisfy guests as the resort applies the finishing touches to their new amenities.
