A large beachfront resort on the northern tip of Captiva Island.

Golf on the estate: 12 holes, as the hotel’s own website states.

South Seas covers the northern end of Captiva Island with beaches on both the Gulf and the bay, pools, a marina, a small golf course and several restaurants. It was rebuilt and reopened after Hurricane Ian, and some facilities are still being improved, so check what is open when you book. It is a long drive from Naples, about an hour and a half, so treat it as a separate island stay rather than a day trip. Book ahead for school holidays.
