South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island Provides A Welcome Respite For Guests Of All Ages. 10 May, 2021/in Resorts, Restaurants, TRAVEL /by Elaine and Scott Harris
South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island moves from covid to captivating the tourist market once again as more people make their way south in an almost pent-up desire to relax, refresh and rejuvenate after a year of closures and quarantines.
While suitable health protocols are now the new normal, breathing the fresh sea air while buoyed by the lulling lapping waves of the iridescent Gulf of Mexico, one can forget the emotional and physical turmoil of the previous year. In her book, the Gift of the Sea, author Anne Morrow Lindbergh, observed; “the beach is not a place to work, to read or write. One is forced against one’s mind against all tidying resolutions, back into the ancient rhythms of the seashore.” In this world of endless distractions, Lindbergh found the solitude to return to her inner self many years ago. Although written years ago, Lindbergh’s tome on relationships and the sea continues to speak of the island’s powerful inspiration.

Today, this very place transcends time, a place where nature knows how to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. The observer can savor the present moment as dolphins breach nearby and manatees roll in the still canals. Osprey and pelicans dive into the waters pulling plump fish from the water with grace and ease. The gentle breeze picks up the salinity and the fragrance of tropical blooms that fill the visual landscape along the shoreline. Relax into the new normalcy focused on health and wellness for just a few days, weeks, or months in this setting meant to refresh the body, mind, and spirit.

There is a special place for you on Captiva island at the South Seas Island Resort. “Sanibel may be a place to reside, but Captiva is the place to escape,” said Francesca Donlan, director of communications for Lee County Tourism. This 330-acre destination beach resort has the calming vibe of old Florida yesteryear with a modern upscale vibe for the entire family.
As we made our way to the Captiva’s only hotel, the South Seas Island Resort, towering palms, oleanders, and warm white sands abutted the well-traveled road. We noticed a giant billboard as we entered the case way connecting Sanibel and Captiva islands, “What is your birth shell?” Perhaps we will find our answer as many have as shelling on these islands is considered the most sought-after activity while visiting this region of Florida.
