Hilton Sandestin: The Ultimate Family Beach Getaway -

Thanks to the Hilton Sandestin Beach for hosting my family on our beach adventure!

If you’re dreaming of a vacation where the whole family gets a break—yes, even you, Mama—Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa might just be your new favorite escape. After visiting with my crew, I can confidently say this place checks all the boxes for a stress-free, memory-filled family vacation.

Family Suites with Bunk Beds and Kid-Friendly Touches

Let’s start with the rooms: spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed for families. The family suites are a dream! The kids had their own bunk bed nook with a TV (hello, quiet time), and we had our own king-size bed and sitting area.

There’s plenty of space to spread out, and I loved the little touches like extra drawers and the separate vanity area for getting ready while someone else is in the bathroom.

Delicious Food and Late-Night Bonfire Vibes

From casual poolside bites to sushi and steakhouse dinners, the restaurants on-site were surprisingly good. One of our favorite nights was the beach bonfire, complete with s’mores and music—such a fun, cozy way to end the day.

Beach Umbrellas, Pools, and Easy Access to Everything
The beach is right there—no shuttle, no hassle. We rented an umbrella and chairs and just relaxed while the kids played in the powdery white sand.

There are multiple pools, including a heated indoor one and a shallow pool perfect for little ones. I loved not having to leave the property for anything, from snacks to sunscreen to entertainment.

‍ The Spa: Serenity by the Sea

One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the spa. I was treated to a full facial, and it was pure bliss from start to finish. The spa itself is gorgeous—peaceful, beachy, and serene. There are whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, and quiet lounges to relax in before or after your treatment.

They offer a variety of facials, including deep-cleansing and hydrating options, plus luxurious body wraps, massages, and even a prenatal massage for expecting moms. You can enhance treatments with things like aromatherapy or CBD oil. There’s also a full-service salon for nails, waxing, and hair.

If you’re craving real relaxation, make time for the spa. It’s the perfect escape while the kids are off having fun—and trust me, you’ll walk out feeling brand new.

Mom’s Takeaway

The bunk bed suite gave everyone their own space—huge win. – Tuck the kids in bed and enjoy an evening on the balcony.
The beach setup, bonfires, and pools made for the kind of days the kids will talk about forever.
I got to relax, recharge, and actually enjoy vacationing with my family.

If you’re looking for a resort that blends relaxation for parents with non-stop fun for kids, Hilton Sandestin delivers. It felt like a true getaway without all the stress—and that, to me, is vacation magic.
