Serenity by the Sea Spa

Serenity by the Sea Spa occupies a dedicated wing of the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa, giving Emerald Coast visitors a full-service spa and salon experience without leaving the resort grounds. The spa sits at 4000 S Sandestin Blvd in Miramar Beach and can be reached directly at 850-622-9595. Spread across 15 treatment rooms, the facility is large enough to handle everything from a single massage appointment to group bookings for a bachelorette weekend or a wedding party getting ready for the big day.

The treatment menu centers on massage, facial, and body work designed around the resort’s coastal setting. Body treatments draw on moisturizing scrubs, clay masks, and hydrating wraps meant to counter sun and salt exposure after a day on the beach, while the facial and massage menus cover a range of pressure levels and skin concerns. A full-service salon operates alongside the spa proper, offering manicures, pedicures, hair services, and makeup application, so guests can handle spa treatments and salon needs in a single visit ahead of a dinner reservation or a night out in Baytowne Wharf.

Spa services run daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, while the salon keeps slightly shorter hours, 9 AM to 5 PM every day of the week. Guests also get access to a 24-hour fitness center, located in the lower lobby of the resort’s Emerald Tower and reserved for Hilton guests and spa members. A private relaxation lounge, a spa shoppe stocked with retail products, and an on-site spa food menu round out the amenities, and the spa offers gift cards and ongoing membership packages for repeat visitors who want the resort spa experience built into their regular routine.

Serenity by the Sea has built a long track record of regional recognition. Emerald Coast Magazine named it Best Full Service Spa in both 2022 and 2023, Visit South Walton named it Best Spa/Salon in 2023, and the spa has picked up 30A Hot Spot Awards in both 2024 and 2025, on top of earlier national mentions including a USA Today 10 Best nod for summer spa treatments and a spot on Conde Nast Traveler’s Top 100 U.S. Resort Spas list. That kind of sustained local reputation reflects a spa that has served Destin and South Walton visitors for well over a decade, not a newcomer riding a single good review cycle.

For visitors staying elsewhere in Sandestin or along 30A, Serenity by the Sea is open to non-hotel guests as well, making it a practical stop for a couples massage or a pre-wedding blowout even without a Hilton reservation. The Hilton itself surrounds the spa with 590 guest rooms, championship golf courses, and Gulf-front pools, so a spa morning can easily turn into a full resort day. Book ahead during peak season, since 15 treatment rooms fill quickly on weekends when the resort runs at capacity, and ask about combined package pricing if a visit includes both spa and salon services in the same appointment window.

Wedding parties in particular lean on Serenity by the Sea, since the spa lists group and wedding spa services as a dedicated offering, allowing a bride and her party to book a block of treatment rooms on the same morning rather than scattering appointments across different days. The spa’s email list also offers a discount to new subscribers, a small perk worth signing up for ahead of a trip if a visit is already on the itinerary. Between the size of the facility, the breadth of the treatment menu, and a location inside one of the Emerald Coast’s largest resorts, Serenity by the Sea functions as a full spa day destination rather than a quick add-on, and travelers planning a Sandestin trip around relaxation should plan to give the visit real time on the schedule.
