Travel Information: COVID-19 Update

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is open and ready to take reservations!

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Friday September 25th that the state of Florida will completely reopen its economy and move into phase 3 guidelines. Phase three lifts the vast majority of any remaining restrictions on gyms, bars and retail spaces. Restaurants will be allowed to operate at full capacity. With the shift to phase three, our policies on COVID health and safety standards focused on all touch points for guests and employees has not changed. From check-in procedures that limit contact to increased disinfecting of all public areas, find out more about our enhanced cleanliness initiatives in every area of the resort.  

In addition to our state changes, we ask that our guests and homeowners to review governmental guidance to confirm eligibility to travel and stay at our resort and/or leave their own state.
