Lido Beach Resort 

Coastal elegance

Set on a long swathe of white-sand beach on Lido Key, just minutes away from the sought-out St. Armands Circle

Lido Key makes a great base for travellers that want to experience the natural beauty of Sarasota, while not being too far from the action of the city. Lido Beach, where the hotel’s based, is less crowded than the famous Siesta Key Beach, which is around half an hour’s drive away. This relaxed resort features two pools, a Tiki Bar, and an eighth-floor restaurant boasting incredible ocean views.
