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 resort, the region’s only Four Diamond AAA Award–winning hotel, is devoted to open space and preservation areas.

Rich colors and organic textures add warmth to all public spaces and each of the contemporary-style guest accommodations. Also available are luxurious one- to five-bedroom vacation homes sprawled across the property. Rooms and suites feature king-size beds and queen sofa sleepers.

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 Gulf, pool or lake.

The resort offers multiple wedding venues, including the beach, gardens, lawns and elegant banquet rooms. Bridal packages include the services of the onsite event team, who can assist couples with everything from the decor and menus to photography and entertainment.
