Casa Ybel Resort (a member of Hilton Grand Vacations Resorts) was built as Sanibel's first beachfront resort, so it enjoys one of the best locations on the island. The on-site amenities fulfill almost every vacation need. Sanibel and neighboring Captiva Island are considered to be two of the top three shelling locales in the world. Walking and biking along naturally landscaped paths are other popular island pastimes. Be sure to visit the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which protects more than 200 species of birds. Sanibel Island offers many unique shops and dining establishments.
Casa Ybel Beach and Racquet Club is set on 23 tropical acres, with more than a quarter-mile of private beach. The three-story lodges offer terraces that overlook the Gulf of Mexico. On-site are an Olympic-sized heated pool, a wading pool, a poolside bar, and a heated spa. Guests also can enjoy six tennis courts, barbecue grills, and the Thistle Lodge Waterfront Bar and Grill restaurant.
