Plunge Beach Resort

Where Lauderdale meets laid back.

Salt-kissed breezes and street art collide at Plunge Beach Resort, where Florida beach culture takes on a bold new personality. This oceanfront hideaway in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, affectionately known as "The Great American Beach Town," transforms traditional coastal comfort into a playground for both relaxation seekers and beach enthusiasts.

Beach town nostalgia painted in bold new colors.

What it's like

The lobby's eclectic art gallery signals that this isn't a typical Florida beach resort. Classic Mid-Century Modern architecture frames views of the Atlantic, while the resort's four distinct buildings each offer a different vibe, from the laid-back feel of the Bungalow Buildings to the vibrant energy of the Resort Towers. Here, beach balls coexist with local artwork, and sunrise yoga sessions flow seamlessly into taco-fueled sunset gatherings.

Independent spirit

An ever-evolving gallery by the sea.

Small touches

Plunge Beach Resort features 163 stylish rooms and suites that combine playful design with ultimate comfort. Each accommodation is thoughtfully curated, from the intimate Bungalow Buildings with VIP lounge access and a private bungalow pool to the vibrant Resort Towers dressed in retro-chic, coastal style. While the Bungalow Buildings welcome all ages, the private bungalow pool is an adults-only spot for a quieter escape. You can enjoy additional amenities like weekly yoga sessions, loaner bicycles, and 24-hour fitness center access, all while being just steps away from Plunge Beach. Whether you're seeking serenity or a more energetic vibe, Plunge Beach Resort provides the ideal backdrop for every getaway.

Eat and drink

Embark on a culinary journey across three distinctive dining venues at Plunge Beach Resort, each offering a unique experience designed to satisfy every palate. Start your day at Bean & Barnacle, where artisanal coffee, freshly baked pastries, and breakfast sandwiches set the stage for a sun-sational morning. Or go into full vacation mode and enjoy delicious gelato for breakfast instead! For a creative twist on the first meal of the day, savor steak and eggs surrounded by local artwork at Octopus Restaurant, where bottomless mimosas flow as freely as conversation. Then make your way to Backflip Beach Bar & Kitchen, the ultimate poolside cantina just steps from the shore, serving up street tacos and refreshing rum cocktails.
