The Shores Resort & Spa

The upscale Shores Resort and Spa offers a social and laid back vibe in polished surroundings that attracts plenty of families, couples, business guests, and annual travelers participating in Biketoberfest, a popular motorcycle meet-up.

The quiet beachfront hotel is located on South Atlantic Avenue, just over three miles from the heart of Daytona Beach. The softer, quieter area is known as Daytona Beach Shores and offers guests what they came for – the beach. Attractions such as the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, and Daytona Beach International Speedway are all short drives away, while more popular destinations such as Disney World and Universal Studios are over an hour and a half away.

With a classic beach-chic style, the main gathering place at the Shores Resort and Spa is the spacious beachfront terrace, featuring fire pits, eight cabanas, a ping-pong table, an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, and a private hot tub near a Tiki bar. A kiddy pool is also convenient beside a splash area, and a kids’ club offers free daytime activities and nighttime themed parties. The on-site Azure restaurant and bar offers plenty of food and an oceanfront terrace for romantic dinners. A spa and gym are also on-site, as is 20,000 square feet of space that can easily accommodate conferences and weddings.

Accommodations at the resort are homey with an upscale cottage-style vibe and beachy décor. The most coveted room categories boast oceanfront views from balconies or patios, while Terrace Rooms offer wraparound terraces and Cabana Rooms feature poolside or oceanfront cabanas. Suites at the resort offer guests 1,500 square feet of space with separate bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchenettes. All rooms come with standard amenities such as mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and more.
