Ideally located on the tip of Fort Myers overlooking the beautiful Sanibel and Captiva Islands, the Victorian-style Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa is an AAA Four-Diamond resort since 1992. The Resort, which joined the Marriott International family in December 2009, is set on an 85-acre waterfront escape, and offers a haven of gracious hospitality and relaxed luxury. Its world-class amenities include three sparkling outdoor pools; the Sanibel Harbour Princess, a private 100-foot yacht for dining and sightseeing; a 40,000-square-foot award-winning spa; six distinctive restaurants and lounges; family programs; and an array of outdoor activities like tennis, kayaking, fishing, biking, swimming and nearby golf.

Featuring an “Old Florida Beach House” feel, accommodations are located in two resort towers and decorated in warm earth tones of sand, melon and olive hues with burgundy accents that compliment the natural wood and bamboo furnishings.  The Sanibel Tower, the larger of the two resort buildings, offers 240-rooms including the Elite Suites located on the top floor, which provide the best views. The 107-room concierge-style accommodations located in the smaller Captiva Tower provides an exclusive enclave for resort guests with a private pool and residential-style check-in.
