If a destination wedding is your dream, Florida’s Emerald Coast offers two venues that blend natural beauty with luxurious amenities to make for an idyllic nuptial experience. Together, these two properties offer a range of wedding experiences, from welcome cocktails and rehearsal dinners to post-wedding brunches. Plan your event across The Pearl Hotel and WaterColor Inn for picture-perfect I dos.

 

The Pearl Hotel combines a boutique vibe with European-inspired coastal charm. Each of the 55 rooms offers private balconies, exclusive beach access and specialty treatments at Spa Pearl. Signature Havana Beach rooftop offers panoramic Gulf views, an outdoor bar and retractable HDPE shade sails, making it an ideal option for sunset ceremonies, welcome receptions or star-lit dinners.

WaterColor Inn delivers coastal luxury across nearly 500 acres of private beach access and WaterColor Beach Club’s pool, lounges and Gulf views. WaterColor Lakehouse features cedar-lined walls, large windows and a fully equipped catering kitchen, while WaterColor Boathouse offers a rustic-chic, cottage-style setting ideal for intimate dinners and casual celebrations. Outdoor celebrations at Western Lake Park see couples dance beneath the stars or make grand exits via boat.

 

Whether couples are drawn more to The Pearl or WaterColor Inn, both destinations offer a wedding backdrop as unforgettable as the moment itself.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
