Luxury Holidays At Opal Sands Resort Clearwater Beach

A contemporary beach retreat with a strikingly modern design, Opal Sands is one of the finest ways to experience the world-famous Clearwater Beach, one of Florida’s favourite strips of sand. Just steps away from Pier 60, where a lively ‘daily festival’ takes place during sunset hours, this is a haven of beach chic, where guests can savour the natural beauty of the Clearwater skyline and the spectacular twilight displays of the Gulf of Mexico.

The two-hundred-and-thirty Gulf-facing rooms and suites offer a truly serene escape, boasting stylish interiors, large balconies with magnificent ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a crisp, ocean-inspired palette for a coastal vision of luxury living. Throughout the resort, artworks by Floridian painter, Christopher Still, have been commissioned to bring the beauty of the Gulf into interior spaces, capturing unique moments of the hotel’s breathtaking surroundings.

Climate

Boasting sunny days – up to six hours of sunshine a day – November to May (winter) is a pleasant time to visit Florida. Winter is almost tropical in climate – very mild, but sometimes with relatively short periods of cold weather, however frost and snow is not very common. From June to October (summer), you can expect higher temperatures and increased humidity. Sunshine hours can peak to as many as ten, but afternoon cloud build-up can lead to heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Florida has the most thunderstorms of any of the states, and sometimes these are severe tropical storms, or even hurricanes. June to November is hurricane season with the months of August and September being particularly susceptible.
