South Seas Island Update March 2023

We received the latest newsletter from South Seas Island Resort providing some insights into The Next Chapter of South Seas Island Resort.

Although the resort remains closed, their efforts have shifted from restoring access and utilities to the property, as well as undertaking an extensive debris clean-up, to expediting our recovery efforts and making arrangements for rebuilding. This shift has occurred over the past five months since the storm hit.

Since many structures were not recoverable and posed significant life safety risks in the immediate aftermath of the storm, we made the tough decision to take these down in order to provide a safe environment when owners and guests start returning to the island.  These buildings include:

  • Resort Reception
  • Resort Executive Office
  • Tennis and Pickleball Courts
  • Landscape Office
  • Bayside Marina Bait, Tackle & Supply Store
  • Golf Pro Shop
  • Kings Crown Building (Scoops & Slices)

As the Resort has commenced construction and continues debris removal, we kindly request that visitors and residents avoid restricted and/or fenced areas for their own safety. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy while visiting or working on your property. The resort aims to achieve the status of the top family resort destination in the U.S. and we are excited about the new vertical structures and amenity areas that will contribute to this goal. To create the ultimate resort experience, they have planned several major initiatives, including the recent announcement of an expansive water amenity complex situated near the resort’s main entrance.

  • Captiva Landing will be located at the former reception area and will feature an array of all-new water amenities and amusements including the Gulf Stream meandering lazy river, Camp-tiva Kids Club, Bottlenose Bay water play area, The Cove a quiet, relaxed resort pool, Flippers arcade and quick-serve restaurant, and an improved South Marina servicing all your watersport and fishing experiences.

In addition to Captiva Landing the following other initiatives are in the planning process, all designed to enhance the resort experience.

  • Captiva Provisions Company is being completely redesigned and will become Provisions, to be introduced this summer.
  • The new Beach House at Club Captiva Beach will be a vibrant, open-air resort casual dining venue just steps from the gulf. While the Beach
  • House under construction, we plan to introduce new food truck concepts to provide our guests a fun and interactive gulf front dining experience.
  • Renovated Bayview Pool, re-concepted Redfish Grille to replace the Pointe restaurant, re-concepted Tarpon Bar, and the new Scoops & Slices.
    Completely redesigned family friendly 12-hole short course offering an inviting experience for the beginner and advanced players alike. (Construction is expected to start in next 30 days.)
  • Re-concepted Bayview Fishing Pier, formerly known as the T-Dock. (Construction is expected to start in the next 30 days.)
  • Re-concepted Harborside restaurant. (Design has commenced.)
  • Newly renovated Harbourside Hotel with a sophisticated coastal casual look and feel.
  • South Seas Yacht Club – new resort spa and fitness facility (exclusive to Club Captiva Members), the Admiral’s Ballroom, and Quartermasters provisions replacing the Ships Store adjacent to the marina (future amenity phase).
Starbucks located in South Seas Village re-opened on February 28th, the five-month anniversary of Hurricane Ian. We want to thank the many people who came out to help us celebrate our re-opening. Starbucks is open daily form 7am – 2:30pm. Come say hello and meet our team.
The resort is very optimistic and happy to report that they will be able to start opening portions of the resort this spring, with a soft opening of the full resort in the fall.
