Recreation at Gaylord Palms

From the history and old-world charm of St. Augustine and the colorful and festive island spirit of Key West to the mysterious waters and cypress of the Everglades, Gaylord Palms has something for everyone. If you prefer to spend time in the warm Florida sun, then visit our Coquina Dunes Recreation Park, which features a bocce court, croquet lawn, sand volleyball court, and executive putting course to practice up before hitting the tees at the nearby Celebration Golf Club. From there, you can go for a refreshing dip in one of our sparkling pools, then pamper yourself in our world-class Relâche Spa.

 

Relâche Spa

Indulge your body and spirit at the Relâche Spa while reveling in an island scalp massage or deep cleansing facial. Then prepare to be pampered with a sea mist manicure. If you'd rather get your pulse racing, schedule a personal workout session at our 4,000-square-foot fitness center.

Celebration Golf Club

A course that believes there is a difference between “playing” a golf course and “experiencing” the game of golf on a course that was inspired by its Old World legacy. Your opportunity to play the final course co-designed by the renowned masters of golf course architecture, Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. In designing Celebration Golf Club, their combined talents created a course unlike any other in the nation. It’s lush, almost like a natural park with undulating swells and topography, a course reflective of the very best of every course they have created around the world.

This design delivers a golfing experience that can challenge the pros and yet offer a rewarding time for juniors and those just learning the game.
