Close your eyes and think of your last Orlando vacation. While it could’ve been anything from making magical memories at the theme parks to exploring Downtown’s exploding culinary scene, one thing you likely didn’t experience was basking in a tropical oasis. After all, landlocked Central Florida isn’t known for their beaches. Now, thanks to the opening of Evermore, that statement will no longer be true. The state-of-the-art property, located less than six miles from Walt Disney World, boasts 8-acres of blue water in Evermore Bay and offers twenty acres of sandy beaches and activity areas, so you can swim, play, and have a little fun in the sun—no hour-plus drive to the coast required.

Beyond its stunning setting, the resort is redefining what it means to be a versatile vacation destination, especially since when it comes to planning a trip, everyone has their own personal travel style. Accommodations? Some want the classic hotel treatment while others prefer their own private villa. Day plans?  Itineraries can fluctuate from sitting poolside 24/7 to being booked solid with back-to-back activities. Dining? Perhaps an exquisite dinner is your choice or maybe it’s a casual bite grilled in the backyard. Regardless of the type of vacationer you are, Evermore truly has something suited for your particular set of preferences. Just take a look at how you can make your visit distinctly your own.

A Room For Everyone 

No matter if you’re traveling solo, planning a family reunion, or hosting a corporate retreat, Evermore has a bed tailored just for you. Traditionalists may opt to stay at the Conrad Orlando, the property’s on-site hotel, outfitted with contemporary-styled rooms and suites with views of the lagoon. Other overnight shoreside options include the four-bedroom flats, the two- or four-bedroom villas, and rental homes that range from five to eleven bedrooms (where you can sleep up to 32 people!) and include private, heated pools. 

Top Notch Amenities  

When you’re not out sight-seeing, Evermore has plenty to do within its gates. Beyond beautiful pools, delectable eateries and ahh-worthy spa services, they also offer more unique ways to fill your free-free time.

Evermore Bay is a relaxation hub or an explorer’s dream depending on what mood you’re in. If you’re craving leisure, book a private cabana to spend a day lounging in the shade with top-tier staffers to ensure you have the space you need (cabanas can be configured based on group size) and that your drinks never get warm or watered down. There’s also Hammock Grove where you can swing waterside while taking an afternoon siesta, reading a book or sipping on your beverage of choice. For those wanting to unwind in a more adventurous way, rent a stand-up paddle board or kayak, work with a sandcastle pro to build your own work of art or hit up The Blue Hole, where you can brave a rope swing to dive into the deep turquoise waters. 

Golf great Jack Nicklaus designed Grand Cypress Golf, and its two courses—The Cypress Course and The Links course—offering very different experiences on the greens. The Cypress is a Parkland-Style course the combines aesthetic beauty with obstacles while The Links is located in an open meadow with steeper and more challenging bunkers, paying homage to the famed Old Course at St. Andrew’s in Scotland. Evermore also offers “FootGolf” which is an alternative way to explore the course with your whole family by kicking a soccer ball into specially-designed holes. 

For more distinctive guest experiences, Evermore has a plethora of other options that bring the fun. From Mimosa Yogalates, a 21+ fitness class where you can stretch and sip, and margarita mixology classes aimed at the adult crowd to DIY light saber making and the board game Olympics targeting families, there are activities for all ages and interests. 

Unparalleled Convenience 

While Evermore’s proximity to the parks and convention centers can’t be beat, the resort also infuses cutting-edge tech into your stay from check in until check out. Their 3D planning tool ensures you know exactly the type of room or rental you’ll be staying in with no unwanted surprises. There’s a digital scavenger hunt for kids to embark on some exciting challenges throughout their stay, and the property is home to SnappyScreen, the world’s first touchless sunscreen application system that provides full-body coverage in ten seconds. Now that’s how you enjoy the Florida sunshine.
