Welcome to the Family ... And to the Families, Welcome
Those are the memories that last a lifetime, and this is the place where families create lasting memories.
Guests make family memories whether they venture to Hilton Sandestin Beach for a traditional leisure vacation or something else entirely. We host many conferences and events throughout the year and it’s common for meeting planners and attendees to bring their family with them to enjoy the resort while the conference is in session. Work and play are natural allies on our property — with everything in one place, meeting attendees can feel

confident their family is safe, and very entertained, throughout the day. It’s not a coincidence. The family experience is engrained in our culture from the top down. In fact, ownership of Hilton Sandestin Beach has been passed from our original owners down to their own children. Beyond that, our staff is a family of its own. We want this place to be just as special to you and yours as it has always been to us. Many of our valued employees have been with us for more than 20 years — some since the day we opened. We spend holidays together, we laugh and cry together — we even watched a total solar eclipse on our pool deck together last year!
Like any family, ours has grown over the years.
Families who return to our resort time and time again have become an extension of our own. Like the Peugeot family, who has been visiting Hilton Sandestin Beach since the mid-90s for family vacations and weekend getaways. They’ve become close friends with our staff, and beloved members of our Hilton Sandestin Beach family. And there are more like them — our staff has seen many children grow up through the years, returning to the resort each year a few inches taller and ready to explore another part of the property.
We’re also honored to be part of the biggest moments in many families lives. We’ve seen brides and grooms who came here as children return to the resort for their own wedding. We have the privilege of being part of these special moments in the lives of our extended family — we are truly honored and we thank you for that. Whether we’re meeting you for the first time, or have had the pleasure of knowing you for years, welcome to Hilton Sandestin Beach. May 2018 be full of precious and heartwarming family memories.

hat is it about Hilton Sandestin Beach that brings families back to our shores time and time again? Maybe it’s our kid-friendly accommodations and Kids Krew programming. Or the variety of beach activities we offer, coupled with treats for Mom and Dad at Serenity by the sea Spa and Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood. The amenities are amazing — don’t get us wrong — but we’d argue it’s something else entirely. Families are drawn to Hilton Sandestin Beach because this place is a natural memory-maker. A Hilton Sandestin Beach vacation is not just about the activities you scheduled or the excursions you took part in. It’s about the little moments you couldn’t have possibly planned — a startling splash followed by a giggle, a look of wonder on a child’s face as they watch a sunset over the water, a tap on the shoulder before bed and a whisper asking: “Can we come back next year?”
