This Legendary Florida Escape is a Perfect Paradise for Couples
For more than 75 years, South Seas has welcomed sun-seekers to its tranquil 330-acre retreat on Florida’s Captiva Island. Nestled within a protected wildlife preserve and fringed by over 2 miles of pristine coastline along the deep blue Gulf waters, this iconic destination blends natural beauty with effortless luxury—a peaceful haven, but with plenty of opportunity for adventure.
Just a short nonstop flight from Houston, followed by a scenic drive to the island, Captiva is a true escape for couples who want to play, reconnect, and indulge. The Together in Paradise offer makes it easy to craft an unforgettable getaway, too: Book two nights or more and enjoy 20% off, a complimentary cabana rental, and $150 resort credit.
That $150 can be used toward a variety of romantic experiences, including elevated dining and curated activities—and with South Seas introducing enhanced amenities and services designed to help you discover the magic of Captiva, there’s no better time to visit. (Make sure you book directly through South Seas, which will give you exclusive access to the dining collection and Club Captiva experiences.)
Play, Relax, Explore
Club Captiva experiences are ideal for active couples who love to play and explore together—and they’re available to guests who reserve directly with South Seas. Lounge by glittering pools, watch for wildlife like dolphins and manatees, or head out on the Gulf for paddleboarding, kayaking through mangroves, and WaveRunner tours.
If you want to hit the links with your love, The Clutch is welcoming for golfers of all skill levels. It’s a course for all golf experience levels with unique stories to tell: Each scenic hole reflects Captiva’s unique nature and history.
Captiva Landing, expected to open in late 2025, offers plenty of family fun on five action-packed acres for your next family getaway.
Fresh Flavors for Every Palate
From casual bites to intimate dinners, dining at South Seas is designed to delight. Harborside is ideal for special occasions and romantic evenings, with Italian steakhouse-inspired cuisine and seafood to go with spectacular indoor and outdoor seating overlooking Yacht Harbor Marina.
Set to open this fall, Beach House is sure to be one of Captiva’s hottest spots. Perfect for sunsets and open-air dining under the stars, this refined-yet-casual beachfront eatery features water views and Gulf-inspired cuisine—including grouper, conch fritters, and more.
Looking for something a little more playful? You’ll want to check out the breezy Redfish Grill, or perhaps Tarpon Bar—where island views, poolside frosés, and other treats await. (Speaking of treats, a towering ice-cream sundae from Scoops & Slices makes for the perfect cap to any date night.)
Island Wellness
South Seas also has a renewed focus on wellness, with a modern fitness center available now with yoga on Saturdays. The Spa at South Seas is set to debut in 2026. The full-service spa will feature therapeutic treatments, guided classes, and holistic experiences that embrace the island’s natural rhythm.
Stay Your Way
From cozy villas to expansive private homes, South Seas offers residential accommodations tailored to your travel style. Choose from Standard, Deluxe, or Premier tiers, each with unique layouts and views. With room to spread out and all the comforts of home, it’s the kind of setting that makes you wonder why you’d stay anywhere else.
