Opal Sands offers 230 guest rooms and suites with private balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. One-bedroom suites include a sectional sleeper sofa, dining table, 1.5 bathrooms, and a kitchen with a cooktop and full-size refrigerator. Two-bedroom suites add an extra bathroom and an expanded balcony with outdoor seating. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, coffee machines, and smart TVs.

On-Site Dining

SeaGuini serves handmade pasta, brick-oven pizzas, and locally sourced seafood, with Gulf views from every seat. Sandbar, a thatched-roof tiki bar, offers Florida burgers and cocktails by fire pits. Breakfast at Toast includes gourmet toast options and Gulf views. The resort also provides poolside dining at Reflections Pool Bar, open until sunset.

Resort Activities

Guests can swim in the zero-entry pool, relax on Clearwater Beach, or book treatments at the Opal Spa, which offers deep-cleansing facials and full-body massages. Kayaking and fishing trips to Caladesi Island State Park are available. The fitness center has Peloton bikes and Technogym equipment. Art by Christopher Still adorns the lobby.

Clearwater Beach Location

Opal Sands is steps from Clearwater Beach, ranked 'Best Beach in Florida' by USA Today. It's a 5-minute walk to Pier 60 and Clearwater Beach Marina. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is 15 miles away, and Tampa International Airport is 23 miles. The concierge can arrange transportation.

Event & Wedding Spaces

The resort has 17,000 square feet of event space, including the Opal Ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and Gulf views. Outdoor ceremonies can be held on the Event Lawn. Catering options include tequila shrimp cocktail and wagyu strip steak. The spa offers pre-wedding treatments like lavender-oil massages.

“This hotel stands out with its Gulf-front views and commissioned local art, offering a distinct sense of place. Its dedication to comprehensive family activities and access to Opal Sol amenities struck me as particularly thoughtful. While clearly designed for upscale leisure, the event spaces also suggest a capacity for memorable celebrations.”
