The sleepy seaside village of Vero Beach has a secret. This Florida beach town, known for its year-round cultural arts scene, is home to another hidden jewel, a place where summer romance sizzles to a Latin beat.
Gloria Estefan chose the beautiful town to develop her 50 million luxury boutique resort. The international singer and her husband, Grammy Award winning producer Emilio Estefan opened Costa d’Esta Beach Resort in 2008 and transformed in into a world-class hotel worthy of its AAA Diamond distinction.
The luxurious Costa d’Este Beach Resort is nestled halfway between West Palm Beach and Merritt Island. The resort boasts elegant one-bedroom suites, a signature bar known for its mojitos and an infinity-edge swimming pool that disappears into the nearby crashing waves.
Costa d’Este Beach Resort
The Estefans loved Vero Beach upon discovering it and thought it was the perfect distance for a weekend getaway from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach andOrlando. The international singer and her husband, Grammy Award-winning producer Emilio Estefan, opened Costa d’Este Beach Resort in 2008 and transformed it into the world-class hotel in Vero Beach, worthy of its AAA Four-Diamond distinction.
For dinner we ate delicious Cuban food at the Wave Kitchen and Wine Bar. This was not your average hotel dining experience. The Chef designed a seasonal menu featuring fresh ceviche, traditional American fare and, of course, Cuban cuisine. After a mouth-watering three-course meal, the chef brought out an incredible trio of desserts on a slab of marble. Every detail of the evening was magical.
The resort can accommodate large groups for special events, weddings or corporate meetings. Not only is the Costa d’Este Beach Resort great for families visiting the treasure coast, but because of its cozy boutique feel, it’s also known for its elegant destination weddings and romantic ambiance. The Queen of Latin Pop designed the resort for guests who desire the perfect combination of tropical days and steamy nights. This is the perfect spot to soothe your stress.
The resort also boasts a beautiful spa which I will be sure to try out next time!
