Leisure & Spa

Leisure activities abound, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and access to the Santa Rosa Sound water park, featuring inflatable slides. The on-site spa provides various treatments, including massages and facials, enhancing the resort experience.

Business & Services

With 6000 square feet of meeting space and a dedicated events team, Portofino Island Resort is suitable for business retreats and family gatherings. The resort also provides complimentary WiFi in all rooms and facilities.

“This beachfront resort certainly impresses with its extensive recreational options, including a private water park and multiple pools, though some units show signs of wear, based on what I've seen. On the other hand, the dedicated beach service and breadth of activities make it suitable for families and corporate groups alike; the spa adds a wellness dimension. In my view, it's a property with high potential but uneven execution.”
