Opal Sol

Opal Sol is a luxury resort on Clearwater Beach, set along the Beach Walk promenade and close enough to the Gulf that the water is steps away. Its suites range from studios to three-bedroom layouts, and every one has a private balcony with Gulf views. Select units add wrap-around patios with hot tubs, outdoor showers and soaking tubs in the master bedroom, plus full gourmet kitchens.

Guests can use the amenities of sister property Opal Sands, linked by a glass-encased sky-bridge, so the two resorts share ten dining outlets, four pools and two full-service Opal Spas. Two fitness centers and towel service at the pools round out the daily options. The property also hosts meetings, family events and destination weddings, with about 57,000 square feet of event space. Gift cards are available.
