WaterColor Inn & Resort recently ranked #3 among the Top 40 Resorts in Florida according to the readers of Condé Nast Traveler. In the magazine’s 2013 survey results, WaterColor Inn & Resort ranked among an elite group of resorts scoring above 90. The designation was determined by a survey where travelers were asked to rate each resort’s location, overall design, service, dining, activities and more.

“Being included on the list as one of the Top 40 Resorts in Florida re-enforces the work our team does everyday,” said WaterColor General Manager Andrew Czarnecki. “Our team is dedicated to excellent service, and making sure that each and every guest has a memorable vacation.”

Bicycles, kayaks and YOLO Boards make it easy for guests to explore neighboring towns or paddle across Western Lake, a rare coastal dune lake. Golfers have three nearby courses to choose from including the Tom Fazio-designed Camp Creek Golf Club, the Greg Norman-designed Shark’s Tooth Golf Club, and the Origins course designed by Davis Love III for family and short play.

Accommodations range from the intimate 60-room beachfront WaterColor Inn to 180 vacation homes, which range from one to six bedrooms.

Dining at WaterColor’s acclaimed Fish Out of Water restaurant — overlooking the Gulf of Mexico — is not to be missed, with specialty gourmet dishes made from locally sourced organic ingredients.

Throughout the year, WaterColor hosts many special events and themed retreat packages focusing on environmental awareness, art, music and more.
