Innisbrook: A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort

It’s all about golf at Innisbrook, a resort on 900 acres just five miles east of Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches. Since 1990, the 600-room all-suite property has hosted the annual PGA Tour’s Transitions Championship, luring well-known players including Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh to the four challenging courses. But thanks to a veritable rolodex of other activities, non-duffers keep busy. There are six pools (including one with winding waterslides, sandy beach areas, and a 15-foot waterfall) and 11 tennis courts for private lessons, custom clinics, and kids’ programs. The 20,000-square-foot Indaba Spa, which translates to “gathering place” in Zulu, is the place for African-themed treatments—an exotic twist for an otherwise all-American retreat.
