The elite seaside community of Rosemary Beach on the Florida Panhandle’s Emerald Coast has something new on the scene: The Pearl, a 55-room boutique property with private balconies and luxurious bathrooms, complimentary WiFi, in-room iPads and Apple TV, and a suite located in the property’s remodeled clock tower. Over-the-top luxury extends to Cabana Rooms with doors that open wide to exclusive poolside cabanas and a private spa area.

Rounding out the guest offerings is a rooftop lounge, meeting facilities, bicycles for exploring, and a cozy spa with classic treatments. Prefer to stay put? Just pick up your phone. In-room spa treatments feature the Kerstin Florian products.

Be sure to head to the dining room after your treatment. The kitchen, under the direction of Executive Chef Michael Guerra, pays homage to local food producers and artisans located within 100 miles of the town, including City Greens Farms, Ocheesee Creamery and Camp Flowers Honey. Indulge in Guerra’s Southern cuisine such as shrimp ’n’ grits featuring Florida shrimp, crispy spicy ham and Adluh South Carolina Stone Ground Grits; or crispy duck leg with Cuban black beans and house-cured bacon. You can always go for an extra-long bike ride in the morning.
