If you’re in search of a destination that perfectly blends luxury, relaxation and adventure, look no further than Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor. Located along the serene shores of the Peace River in Southwest Florida, this new, world-class resort promises an experience unlike any other. From its unparalleled dining offerings to its state-of-the-art amenities and warm, personalized hospitality, Sunseeker provides the ultimate vacation experience in style.
Debuted in December 2023, Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor offers 785 stylishly appointed guest rooms, including 189 luxurious Sunsuites™ that cater to families, couples and groups alike. Each suite features expansive living spaces with chef-level kitchens, large balconies with breathtaking views and all the comforts of home—but with a few extra perks you won’t find anywhere else.

For those looking to unwind, the resort features two stunning pool experiences: Reflections, a large ground-level pool perfect for all ages, and the adults-only Level Blue rooftop retreat, complete with an infinity pool, loungers and panoramic views of Charlotte Harbor. Both pools are complemented by luxury service, where pool attendants cater to your every need.
One of Sunseeker Resort’s highlights is its unparalleled food and beverage offerings. The centerpiece of the resort’s culinary landscape is the sprawling Harbor Yards Food Hall, a 25,000-square-foot dining emporium that brings together 10 individually curated concepts under one roof. “With the resurgence of individualistic food concepts that bring food to life around the country, it was evident that providing this experience to guests and locals alike was at the forefront of our thought process in developing this space and the 10 concepts that engulf you upon arrival,” says Carlos Cepero, executive director of food and beverage. “Guests have thoroughly reveled in Harbor Yards Food Hall, where they have the distinct opportunity to enjoy the flavors and the individual beverages that are indigenous to each culinary concept. We traveled through 12 food halls around the country. We studied the category killers in each area to ensure that we provided a three-meal dining bazaar with a la minute preparation of your meal in an open-air kitchen concept.”

On-site restaurants include Maury’s Steak, Seafood & Spirits—a modern American steakhouse with a menu that includes everything from melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef to locally caught fish. The rooftop Level Blue provides the ultimate adults-only haven, complete with irresistible cocktails and bites, a cozy fire pit and unbeatable waterfront views. Guests looking to soak up the island vibes can visit the Half Cracked Tiki Shack, where eclectic bites are served alongside tropical cocktails and live island-inspired music.

“Bringing each of these concepts to life is a dream for any F&B professional, and under no circumstance did I take this responsibility lightly,” continues Cepero. “Providing must-see venues was crucial as an appeal to the local community to enjoy our delicate yet robust offerings.”
Additionally, wellness is at the heart of the Sunseeker experience. Guests can pamper themselves at Lorelei, the resort’s full-service spa, which was recently ranked #2 in the U.S. by Spa of America. Complementing the spa, the resort features a state-of-the-art fitness center with group exercise studios offering everything from yoga to high-energy cardio classes.
Golf enthusiasts will find paradise at the Aileron Golf Club, an exclusive, championship-level 18-hole course located just 10 minutes from the resort. After your round, relax at the Aileron’s Aviators Club Restaurant & Bar.
At Sunseeker, the focus is always on providing guests with an experience that exceeds expectations.
