On the Gulf Coast of northwestern Florida, WaterColor Inn & Resort captures the essence of a romantic getaway, fusing gracious hospitality and luxurious beachfront amenities in a spectacular natural setting. White sands are framed by pine forest and the tranquil inlets of Western Lake. Plus, nearly half of the 499- acre property, the region’s only Four Diamond AAA Award–winning hotel, is devoted to open space and preservation areas.

Rich colors and organic textures designed by David Rockwell add warmth to all public spaces and each of the contemporary-style accommodations. Rooms and suites feature king-size beds and queen sofa sleepers as well as large walk-in showers with windows facing the surf and sand.

In addition to exploring the beautiful shorefront, couples can enjoy tennis, fishing charters, spa treatments and championship golf nearby. They can also savor candlelit dinners for two—or with their wedding guests—by the sea, pool or lake.

The resort hosts weddings in multiple locations, such as beachside, on its well-manicured lawns or in an elegant banquet room. Bridal packages include the services of the onsite event team, who can assist couples with everything from selecting the decor, ceremony site and dinner menu to the photography and entertainment.
