7 Reasons Sundial Beach Resort & Spa Is The Family Vacation Of Your Dreams

At Sundial Beach Resort & Spa on beautiful Sanibel Island in Florida, you can dine, sleep, relax, and play, all without ever having to leave the premises. Sign us up! As if that didn't convince you, here are 7 of our favorite things about Sundial that make it the perfect place for your next family vacation.

1. Accommodations

No matter the size of your group, Sundial has accommodations for everyone. They offer studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums with beautiful views and fully equipped kitchens.

2. Daily Activities

Yep, daily. Make your own tie-dye t-shirt, play some poolside bingo, or go on a nature walk with the Sanibel Sea School...there's an activity for everyone, including kids! You can find the full calendar of events here.

3. Shelling

You can't go to Sanibel and not go shelling-it's what Sanibel is known for! The resort is located just steps away from the Gulf, so you can walk right out to the beach and hunt for beautiful shells.

4. Dining

Eat breakfast, lunch, (and maybe second lunch? C'mon – it's vacation) and dinner with five family-friendly dining options, all without even having to leave the resort. Treat yourself to dinner at Shima Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar, or keep it casual at Sea Breeze Café, Turtle's Pool & Beach Bar, or pizza at Slice of Paradice. Or try Sundial's newest addition, Shima Grab N Go, offering a rotating sushi menu.

5. Bikes, Paddleboards, and Kayaks

Get your fill of adventure during your stay with on-site bicycles (including surreys and kids' bikes), paddleboards, and kayaks-all available at the activities center and complimentary for guests. This is the part where you work off that second lunch.

6. Marketplace

With Bailey's Marketplace on-site, you'll never need to leave the resort for anything you may need. They have everything from homemade fudge to sunscreen (two things we can't live without now that we mention it...), plus grocery items you can pre-order and have delivered. Food waiting in your room when you get there? Now that's how you do vacation.

7. Tennis & Pickleball

Whether you've been playing for years or just want to start learning, Sundial's six HydroGrid clay tennis courts and twelve PlexiCushion pickleball courts are fun for every skill level. Play in a tournament or take lessons with the resort's resident pros. You'll be swinging like Serena in no time.
