TradeWinds Island Grand
TradeWinds, the largest beachfront meetings resort on Florida's west coast, has just completed a multi-million dollar renovation. All rooms and suites now feature a fresh new look and upscale Florida coastal vibe comprised of relaxing earth tones and complimented by crisp white linens and pops of lime green, turquoise and blue. In addition to the recent guest room redesign, all indoor meeting spaces and common areas now feature brand new and upscale decor. Vibrant blues, metallic accents and nautical details create the perfect ambiance for attendees ready to navigate an unforgettable meeting or event.
TradeWinds is located on the white sands of St. Pete Beach, consistently ranked as a top beach in the U.S. and the world by TripAdvisor. This means energetic groups can enjoy team-building activities that only a St. Pete Beach resort can provide. Plus, every group is assigned its own planning team.
The extraordinary RumFish Grill℠, with a wall-to-wall 33,500-gallon aquarium, headlines the portfolio of diverse dining offerings. Sunset cocktails at Salty's Beach Lounge also offers the perfect networking happy hour venue.
Recreation options include fitness center, spa, tennis courts, paddleboards, parasailing, wave runners, beach cabanas and five swimming pools (one for adults only). Get ready for a beach experience like no other!
