Destin West: The Island’s Only Dual-Access Resort

The "No-Drive" Vacation Solution

 At Destin West Beach and Bay Resort, you don’t have to choose between the bay and the beach—we give you both. Located on the quieter shores of Okaloosa Island, our resort is connected by a private, elevated Skybridge, allowing your family to transition from the 700ft lazy river to the white sands of the Gulf in minutes. Forget the Destin traffic and embrace a "no-drive" lifestyle where you never have to buckle a car seat to get to the water. Whether you’re stepping out of a beachfront villa or an expansive Bayside residence, you are always inside the resort's five-minute radius.

Okaloosa Island Amenities: Your Tube-to-Tide Experience

Beyond the Beachfront

Your morning starts on the 700-foot lazy river, drifting through lush gardens before the kids even ask for the beach. As a guest at our Okaloosa Island resort, you have exclusive access to a dual-access ecosystem: seven pools, hidden hot tubs, and the world’s largest bioluminescent bike path right at your doorstep. When you're ready for the Emerald Coast's pristine surf, the Skybridge provides a pedestrian-safe shortcut that avoids the Highway 98 friction. From our smart-value studios to our premier Gulf-front condos, we provide the on-site authority and logistical wins that turn a stressful trip into a seamless island escape.
