With its quirky, towered roofline, The Pearl Hotel is already regarded as local jewel in the small town of Rosemary Beach on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Adding to its allure as a tranquil retreat, the 55-room boutique property just opened the doors to the intimate Spa Pearl, featuring treatments inspired by the sea and the property’s namesake gemstone. Choose from Mother of Pearl, a rejuvenating body treatment that includes an exfoliation with White Pearl Powder Essence; Exotic Shells, a tension-melting deep massage utilizing nautilus shells; or Pearl Sensation, an anti-aging facial with crushed black pearls and cashmere extract. Treatment spaces include poolside cabana suites.

In addition to a culinary program led by Executive Chef Michael Guerrra dedicated to local food producers, the luxury hotel is the first in the United States to provide guests with in-room Apple TVs (with complimentary WiFi) and iPads (equipped with Intelity ICE for a direct line to concierge services, dinner reservations and rooms service). Rooms feature complimentary Nordaq FRESH water and juices, private balconies and spacious bathrooms with in-room spa amenities by Kerstin Florian. Boating, fishing excursions, tennis, golf and paddle boarding are easily arranged, and all guests have access to bicycles. Rosemary Beach is 20 minutes from Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.
