From its prime coastal position overlooking the Gulf of Mexico from a beautiful stretch of beach at Longboat Key, Zota Beach Resort invites the jet set to spend their Florida holiday enjoying boutique living in a superb setting. Longboat’s newest luxury hotel tempts tastemakers with its contemporary-cool architecture and stylish interiors, while buzzy restaurants, bars and lounges satisfy diners with fresh flavours and laidback vibes that are in-keeping with the area’s unhurried island atmosphere. This is a hideaway for couples, families, groups or solos looking for Sarasota holiday perfection.

Things to do at Zota Beach Resort

Sunseekers flock to Florida’s west coast for a bit of beach time away from Orlando’s theme park throngs. So a hotel right on the beach is a must. Zota Beach Resort Longboat Key is just that, lying mere footsteps away from Longboat’s golden sands and swim-friendly waters. The hotel’s sun-soaked outdoor pool zone offers another way to cool off, while the chic wine bar is the place to be for sundowners with friends new and old. You can also work out to your heart’s content in the 24-hour gym, or explore historic Bradenton’s nearby charms and cultural attractions. After a day checking out the sights, museums and galleries of Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, look forward to a comfy night in your Zota Beach Resort room – complete with private balcony or patio. There are 187 rooms in the hotel, so it doesn’t ever feel overcrowded. Check in is 4pm; check out 11am. Complimentary parking is extended to guests too, making this an ideal option for a fly drive itinerary.
