A Sundial Spring Break on Sanibel Island

DATE: January 20, 2026

Forget the rowdy crowds and neon nightlife of traditional spring break spots; we’re inviting you to experience something different at Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. We believe spring break should be a chance for families to trade the chaos of their weekly routines for the calm of Sanibel Island’s shell-lined shores.

Space for the Whole Crew

One of the biggest challenges of family travel is finding enough room to actually relax. Our resort features condominium-style accommodations ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts. These spacious setups are perfect for longer stays and multi-generational travel, giving everyone their own space while keeping the family together under one roof.

Daily Activities

We’ve designed our daily programming to encourage shared experiences that you’ll remember long after you head home. Whether it’s participating in family competitions or getting creative with shell crafts and tie-dye workshops, there is always something happening to keep the kids engaged.

Adventure on Land and Gulf

If your family loves to stay active, we’ve got you covered. You can spend your mornings exploring Sanibel’s nationally recognized bike path system or taking our kayaks and paddleboards out onto the Gulf waters. For those who prefer the court, we also offer tennis and pickleball facilities to support your family’s wellness and recreation goals.

“Edutainment”: Learning Through Play

Sanibel is world-renowned for its environment, and we make it easy for your family to dive into the local ecosystem. We offer seasonal guided beach and shelling walks that turn a stroll on the sand into a nature-based learning experience. Plus, our close proximity to the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium makes it easy to add a little “edutainment” to your vacation.

Unwind Your Way

When it’s time to slow down, you can choose between our multiple pools, the beautiful Gulf and its shell-strewn shore, a visit to our full-service spa, or a casual family meal at our on-site dining outlets. 

At Sundial Beach Resort & Spa, we are more than just a place to stay—we are your gateway to a spring break defined by quality time and natural discovery. We can’t wait to welcome your family to the island.
