7 Daysat South Seas
Day 1: Arrival, Island Indulgence, and Sunset Serenity
Arrive at South Seas and settle into your home or villa. Your electric resort cart is waiting, reserved before your arrival – a delightful way to explore this island enclave. Stop by Provisions for grab-and-go essentials like fresh deli favorites and packaged snacks before embarking on a leisurely beach stroll, searching for legendary Captiva seashells.
Spend the afternoon unwinding at Sunset Beach, where Club Captiva beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas are ready for you. Feel the powder-soft sand between your toes as you let the rhythmic waves set the tone for the days ahead. Savor classic American flavors at the Shell City Burgers food truck, then return to your villa to watch the sun slip beneath the horizon, painting the sky in brilliant hues.
Day 2: Golf, Poolside Luxury, and Coastal Cuisine
Rise with the sun and head to The Clutch, an inviting, family-friendly golf course. Rent your equipment and grab a quick breakfast and coffee at The Clutch Clubhouse, located near the entrance to the course. This relaxed yet scenic golf experience is a delight, featuring stunning views of the Gulf and Redfish Pass.
After some friendly competition, make your way to your private cabana at the Bayview pools, where panoramic water views and a refreshing slide pool await. Gaze across Pine Island Sound, keeping a keen eye out for the dolphins, manatees, and sea birds that call it home.
As the sun begins to dip, dine at Redfish Grill, one of the newest restaurants at South Seas. With a contemporary casual atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, fresh local seafood, and views of the Bayview pools and waters beyond, Redfish Grill is an ideal restaurant to finish the day with island energy.
Day 3: Marine Magic and Local Charm
Greet the day with a peaceful morning sunrise at Captiva Landing Marina, where the stillness of dawn is occasionally broken by the gentle movements of manatees. Fuel up with a breakfast sandwich from Starbucks, then set sail on a thrilling dolphin-watching cruise, where these playful creatures dance in the boat’s wake.
Spend an afternoon wandering Ande Rosse Lane, a charming and iconic street on Captiva. Roam local shops, restaurants, and more as you explore the delights of island living.
Cap off the evening with dinner at The Green Flash, an iconic waterfront restaurant where the golden glow of sunset takes center stage.
Day 4: A Day of Pure Relaxation & Poolside Bliss
Today is about indulgence. Start with a slow morning in your villa, enjoying a quiet breakfast on your private balcony, then make your way to the fitness center for an invigorating morning run. Reward your hard work with a visit to the beach, letting let the soothing sounds of the waves lull you into relaxation.
In the afternoon, stroll to Scoops & Slices or a nostalgic treat – garden salad, fresh pizza, and a decadent ice cream dessert. Spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing in the nearby Bayview pools with a cold drink from the poolside Tarpon Bar.
As the evening settles in, pick up your favorite beverage from Spirits at The Shops at South Seas and return to your accommodations to end the day where you began it – on your private balcony, enjoying the vibrant colors and peaceful stillness of sunset.
Day 5: Adventure Awaits – Kayaking, Biking, and Exploring
After breakfast, embark on a guided kayak eco-tour, winding through mangrove tunnels where ospreys, herons, and even the occasional sea turtle make an appearance. Prefer land over sea? Hop on a bicycle and traverse the pathways of the island to explore the nature of Captiva.
Lunch is a casual affair at Redfish Grill, where guests and owners with Club Captiva access gather over fresh, coastal-inspired bites.
Afterward, look for the perfect souvenir at Provisions at the Shops at South Seas, where branded apparel allows you to take the spirit of Captiva home with you. While you’re there, purchase fresh seafood by the pound for a home-grilled dinner.
Day 6: A Day Trip Beyond Captiva
After a day of adventure, return to South Seas and toast to your travels with a relaxing evening on the beach.
Day 7: Fond Farewells & Lasting Memories

As you depart, the ambiance of Captiva lingers. The rhythm of the waves, the warmth of the island sun, and the joy of discovery promise that South Seas will always be waiting for your return.
