The Experience

Wake up to panoramic sunrise views from this 20th-floor Portofino condo and enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the coastline toward Navarre Beach.

Step outside and you’re facing due east — the Sound to your left, the Gulf to your right, and endless water views straight ahead.

Inside, the condo comfortably accommodates your group with a king bed, queen bed, and sofa sleeper, and includes full resort amenities with no additional fees.

With access to both the Gulf and Santa Rosa Sound, guests can enjoy sunrise on one side of the resort and sunset on the other.

Resort Activity & Peak Periods

Portofino Island Resort hosts a variety of large events and group gatherings throughout the year. During certain peak weeks, the resort can be significantly more active and busy, with increased occupancy, pool usage, and overall energy across the property.

If you prefer a quieter, more relaxed experience, we recommend reviewing the resort’s event calendar and selecting travel dates accordingly.
