Hotel Effie Sandestin
Opened in 2021, this luxurious hotel has both suites and hotel rooms. This hotel is right next to the Grand Complex (and reception) and has access to the beautiful rooftop bar/pool
Grand Complex
Other Names: "Village & Grand Complex"
This Complex is made up of 4 buildings all next to each other (and the Hotel Effie), they accommodate/book 2-6 bedroom apartments, condos, single hotel rooms, suites, and rooms/apts with golf carts (please ask while booking if interested). This Complex is great for guests wanting to stay in a group, families, or guests who need a kitchen area.
Village, Le Jardin, and Fisherman's Village Locations: Boutique-esc luxury condominiums are all onsite. Private and more of a home feel - great for guests who want a longer stay or hosting/nonhotel staying option. All are next to the reception/ ceremony/ restaurants/ bars. All have amenity access (bars/pools etc)
Grand Complex Locations: Bahia, Elation, Grand & La Sata buildings accommodate 1-6 bedrooms condo/hotel options within complex (right next to Effie & ceremony/reception). Grand has a hotel bar & main lobby - others are just stand-alone. All four are neighbors and all have amenity access (bars/pools etc)
We would strongly recommend staying on-site at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. This will include any trolley rides to the beach and all amenities (rooftop bar, multiple pools, golf/tennis/pickle) to be taken advantage of while there. The ceremony and reception are right outside the main lobby of these hotels. Food/nightlife are also a 5-minute walk from these hotels. If you choose to stay off-site, I would recommend the Hilton Sandestin, this is right on the beach and a very short drive to the Sandestin - they share a golf course. Ubers and Taxis are few are far between in this Sandestin/30A area and expensive, especially at night, so I would recommend renting a car or setting up a scheduled form of transportation.
