Soak in the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean from our private beach. Situated blissfully far away from the crowded public beaches, Delray Sands is the epitome of seaside tranquility. There’s no need to fight for parking or the best sunbathing spot—all you have to do is walk a few feet from your room or suite, and you’re there. We provide comfy chairs and umbrellas, and our friendly attendants can deliver your drink or snack of choice right to your chair. The sand, the sea, and the salty air all combine to create an atmosphere of beachside peace.
Join us for Beach Yoga every Saturday at 9:00am, where you’ll feel the soft sand beneath your feet and the warmth of the morning sun on your skin as you flow through a guided practice.
Our complimentary bike rentals are available on a first come, first serve basis. We have six adult bikes available to rent, and each rental comes with a helmet and bike lock. There will be a 2-hour limit on the bikes. Available to rent from dawn to dusk.
