Designated as National Wellness Month, August brings us a time to focus on promoting and improving our overall health and well-being, both physical and mental. What better way to turn your focus on wellness than spending time in a spa? Fortunately, the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa is just a leisurely drive across the state, making it an ideal close-to-home road trip with purpose!
The Transformation of Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
More than a year after Hurricane Ian pummeled Fort Myers and Sanibel Island with unwelcome winds, rain, and destruction, the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa announced the opening of its newly transformed Spa at Sanibel Harbour.
Spanning 40,000 square feet, the spa boasts a modern luxe ambiance and coastal-inspired décor with shades of teak, grey, blue, and green. The new top-to-bottom renovation also features a grand entrance, mixed mosaic tile flooring, wall treatments, and teak-toned millwork throughout. This spacious environment encourages guests to incorporate wellness into their lives. Offerings include lounges, numerous treatment options, recreation, skin-enhancing products, and wellness classes.
The spa provides 28 treatment rooms. In those rooms, guests enjoy comprehensive spa treatments and co-ed spa experiences. A new luxurious full-day spa experience is also an option. For bridal parties, a private bridal suite is also available. Additional features include a salon with stations for hair, manicures and pedicures, heated treatment equipment and tables, and result-oriented skin care product lines. For shopping, check out the spa boutique.

Sanibel Harbour’s Resort Renovation
Idyllically situated on 85 lush acres overlooking Sanibel and Captiva Islands in Fort Myers’ upscale Punta Rassa community, the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa renovation didn’t stop with the spa. The resort’s 278 guest rooms and 69 suites, including three Elite Suites and two Presidential Parlors, have been renovated to reflect the new design philosophy using earthy tones with complementing sea glass and grey. These touches are coupled with a contemporary and upscale twist, including new entryway tile, vanities, tiled showers, carpet, room paint, and mural headboards reflecting the Marriott brand’s comfortable, modern aesthetic. Each guestroom features stunning water or island views with large-format windows allowing guests to enjoy the surrounding landscape fully.
The resort’s six restaurants also received a renovation, and the resort is home to a wide variety of culinary traditions and innovative menus. Indulge in poolside dining at The Cove. Pick up your morning coffee, pastries, and snacks at the Palm Court Bakery. For tapas, don’t miss Charley’s Cabana Bar, where spirited conversations and creative cocktails add to the waterfront experience. Also on the water, the Tarpon House serves up American favorites in a casual atmosphere. Notably, the Courtside Steakhouse is an OpenTable 2023 Diner’s Choice Award Winner.
