The Pearl Hotel

40 Articles

Framed by a peaked clock tower, pointed turrets, sun-splashed terraces and black-and-white striped awnings, The Pearl Hotel has long been a picturesque icon of the West Indies-inspired coastal community of Rosemary Beach® in South Walton.

Within its walls, the boutique hotel envelops guests in a thoughtfully curated experience, inspired by the warmth and elegance of Old Town Havana, an evocative, richly historic destination, where architecture, culture and everyday life coexisted colorfully.

This Old World charm and laidback sophistication permeates The Pearl’s common areas and guest rooms, with eclectic furniture and décor, including potted palms and framed photos of Havana captured by local artist Tommy Crow, as well as Latin-inspired ambiance music and in-room mini fridges stocked with authentic Cuban sodas from Miami’s Cawy Bottling Company.

Even the hotel’s signature scent – aptly called “Pearl Bliss” – will transport you! All of The Pearl’s bath amenities were created in partnership with Pish Posh Patchouli’s, a local Rosemary Beach merchant specializing in hand-crafted body and skin care, drawing from the richly exotic scents of spiced tonka bean, tobacco bay leaf and vetiver.

At check-in, guests of The Pearl receive a branded coin, reminiscent of a Cuban peso, which can be redeemed for a complimentary signature cocktail at the hotel’s award-winning Havana Beach Bar & Grill during the nightly guest welcome reception – much like residents of Old Town Havana used their pesos at the acclaimed El Floridita in the ‘40s and ‘50s, an era that deeply influenced the writings of American-born Ernest Hemingway.

It’s Hemingway’s beloved haunt that inspired the flavors and flair of The Pearl’s award-winning restaurant, which celebrates the joy of living, eating and drinking well. In fact, Havana Beach Bar & Grill’s stunning hand-carved mahogany bar was modeled after the one at El Floridita. Much like Papa Hemingway himself, Havana Beach Bar & Grill believes that dining should delight all of the senses, with a menu that’s equal parts Gulf Coast and Caribbean, with French-inspired techniques.

Havana Beach’s menu standouts include Ropa Vieja Hash, El Supremo Cubano, and Grouper de Santiago, to name just a few favorite delicacies. And of course, a jaunt to Old Town Havana wouldn’t be complete without a rum-based cocktail. Enjoy a Hemingway Daiquiri, a Nuevo Cubano or a tropical Cocomango in the main dining room, at the bar or at the Havana Beach Rooftop.

Join Havana Beach Bar & Grill for specially themed events (such as Hemingway Day and Havana Nights), taking place throughout the year, for more opportunities to experience the allure of Old Town Havana.

Whether visiting for a weekend or dining in for a night, consider each visit to The Pearl hotel a journey, each bite a story to savor and share.

With a distinctive blend of experiences incorporating invigorating and therapeutic oceanic elements, the poolside Spa Pearl at The Pearl Hotel provides an innovative and intimate spa experience with signature treatments that fittingly incorporate the healing powers of the pearl gemstone itself. The intimate, boutique-like spa delivers on the same attention to detail and unparalleled levels of service for which The Pearl has long been synonymous.

But you need not be a guest of The Pearl to enjoy the spa! Spa Pearl is open to the public and personalized for each guest’s need(s). Whether upon arrival or completion of your spa service, spa guests receive a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Additionally, spa guests have access to the hotel’s private pool and hot tub an hour before and after their spa treatment – providing them with the opportunity to enjoy a swim, a sunbath, a treat or a drink poolside, before, after or in between their treatments. 

Within Spa Pearl’s four private poolside treatment rooms, men and women can select from an extensive menu of facials, massages, waxing services and signature body treatments, which range from two to four hours. Each treatment incorporates the best professional products on the market for enhanced relaxation and recovery, and Spa Pearl’s seasoned professionals can cater to your specific needs and areas of focus.

Not sure where to start? We recommend the popular Collagen Renew Lift & Sculpt Facial, Pearl Perfection Massage or, better yet, combining the two!

The 50- or 80-minute Collagen Renew Lift & Sculpt Facial combines the power of five intense HydroPeptide exfoliants to help improve cell turnover for a radiant complexion, leaving your skin glowing as it amplifies antioxidants and locks in hydration.

The Pearl Perfection Massage, which can also be scheduled for 50 or 80 minutes, incorporates a blend of deep tissue and relaxing Swedish techniques for ultimate relaxation. You may also consider adding in a therapeutic enhancement to any massage, including a warm oil scalp treatment, aromatherapy or foot scrub – or let the spa choose one that best meets your needs.

New to Spa Pearl this year is the popular and already highly requested HydraFacial™.  Recognized as the future of skin health treatment, HydraFacial™ uses patented vortex-fusion technology that acts like a vacuum to open pores, extract, clean and effectively deliver active ingredients to improve skin health and appearance.

Below, a roundup of our favorites. We have a feeling they’ll soon become your group’s faves too!

Beach season is almost upon us, which means longer days spent on Northwest Florida’s beautiful shores and enjoying the Gulf’s turquoise waters. It also means respecting our natural surroundings and local rules for your safety, the safety of others and the safety of area wildlife.

Whether you’re staying at WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel, The Lodge 30A, Camp Creek Inn or WaterSound Inn, your beach experience deserves to be an unforgettable one. To help make your escape to the beach a safe one, our friends at the South Walton County TDC have put together a treasure trove of resources, which we’re sharing with you here!

Pay Attention to Beach Flags

Knowing whether you should go in or stay out is as easy as knowing your colors, thanks to our local beach flag warnings. Double red flags flying? The water is closed to the public, and water activity is prohibited (in fact Entering the Gulf during double red flag conditions can result in fines and criminal charges). A red flag means high hazard due to high surf and/or strong currents, whereas a yellow flag implies a medium hazard, with moderate surf and/or currents. When a green flag is flying, hazard is low, but you should still exercise caution. Is a purple flag in the mix? Watch out for man o’ wars, jellyfish and stingrays nearby.

Be Mindful of Rip Currents

Rip currents are common in the Gulf of Mexico and can be extremely dangerous, so it’s important to pay attention to the beach flags and know the surf conditions before entering the water. If you see someone caught in a rip currently, notify a lifeguard right away and call 911. If possible, throw them a flotation device and don’t lose sight of them. Do not enter the water under any circumstance, as you will also get caught in the strong current. If you unexpectedly find yourself in a rip current, stay calm and float with the current until it dissipates; do not try swimming against it. If possible, swim parallel to shore and back in until help can get to you.

Know the Rules of the Beach

Safety comes first, and so does the protection of our natural environment and local wildlife. That means leaving no trace! Littering and glass containers are not permitted, and any items left on the beach overnight will be discarded unless otherwise permitted. Vehicles, dogs and bonfires all require permits. Take a lasting look, but taking sand, water or vegetation from our beaches is strictly prohibited. Also, please stay off the dunes, and be sure to follow local ordinances during Sea Turtle Season (late spring through early summer).

__

Time at the beach should be fun, relaxing and memorable for all of the right reasons. Learn more about local beach rules and ordinances from our friends at the South Walton County TDC. For Gulf conditions and flag updates, text “SAFETY” to 31279. Stay aware, courteous and safe out there!

For more than 10 years, Havana Beach Bar & Grill’s menu celebrates the joy of living, eating and drinking well, drawing  inspiration from Ernest Hemingway’s favorite old-town Havana haunt, El Floridita. Vibrant and storied, it’s the Cuba of the late 1940s and ‘50s that deeply influenced the writings of the American-born author. More so, it was a love of food – and a love for gathering, hunting and fishing – that penned the author’s pursuit of delectable celebrations, from the Caribbean to Europe and back to the Florida coast.

Much like “Papa Hemingway” himself, so too does The Pearl Hotel’s award-winning restaurant believe that dining should delight all of the senses. Equal parts Gulf Coast and Caribbean, with French-inspired techniques, Havana Beach’s menu is sourced as close to the ground, as close to the water and through the woods as possible. When you dine here, consider each bite a story, each course a new chapter to dive into and each visit a journey.

To dig deeper into the Havana Beach experience, we sat down with Executive Chef Matthew Rolens to learn more about the restaurant’s inspired (and newly reimagined) menu, the dishes you must try and his approach to providing an unforgettable dining experience for all guests. ¡Salud!

What makes Havana Beach Bar & Grill’s menu different from other local restaurants?
Our menu melds Cuban-inspired and Caribbean flavors with Southern and coastal favorites, incorporating classical French cooking techniques. The result is a unique and inspired palate of flavors that can’t be found elsewhere on 30A. It’s truly a culmination of our team’s commitment to making it the best dining experience it can possibly be.

What can guests expect when dining at Havana Beach?
Havana Beach offers approachable food, served in a casual yet elevated environment that celebrates the dining experience. Our dining spaces, much like Havana herself, are vibrant and lively. On select evenings, our house pianist provides a lovely soundtrack for the dining room, and the bar area is always energetic and inviting. We like to mix in a sense of family and fun with our refined dinner service. Whether joining us for a night on the town, a special occasion or a laidback brunch any day of the week, we pride ourselves in providing guests with a welcoming and memorable experience.

What are some of your favorite dishes?
Where do I even begin? For brunch, the Ropa Vieja pairs exceptionally well with the Havana Beach Bloody Mary. And of course, El Supremo Cubano has been a guest favorite for years, and our Mandy Burger, a local favorite, has been hailed as the best burger on 30A. Need I say more? For dinner, the Whole Fish Catch of the Day is an experience you won’t regularly find in South Walton. We serve whatever fish has been caught locally that day, marinate it and lightly fry it to maintain its tenderness ­and serve it escabeche-style, a Caribbean preparation that includes pickled vegetables and spices. It’s mouthwatering delicious! I also recommend the Oysters de Antigua; roasted and combined with tamarind and coconut flavors, these tasty bivalves make the perfect pairing to our Hemingway Daiquiri. For something with a bit more of a Southern take, La Perla del Sur Ribs are just delicious (be sure to pair it with the Ernest Intentions cocktail for the ultimate experience).

What might guests be surprised to learn about Havana Beach’s menu?
That in addition to delicious and inspired dishes, our mixologists have also crafted an equally thoughtful cocktail menu. Inspired by 1950s Havana, our signature cocktail menu offers classic favorites with a Caribbean twist. These include the Hemingway Daiquiri (a longtime guest favorite) and the Banana Boulevard. Whether you’re eating, toasting or both, we hope this menu provides a vibrant taste of the past. Additionally, to accommodate the dietary restrictions of all of our guests, our menu offers several gluten-free options, and our team is always happy to make modifications based on guests’ needs.

Day One
Valet your car and check in to The Pearl Hotel at 4 p.m. to promptly enjoy your complimentary cocktail greeting as you’re directed to your room – will you choose a Gulf, Town or Pool view?

Lounge the day away poolside at the hotel’s adults-only pool, where you can also enjoy towel service and poolside food and drinks and towel service.

Day Three
Rise with the sun and with a delicious breakfast outdoors on the veranda at Havana Beach Bar & Grill. Today’s itinerary calls for family-friendly fun at one of the Rosemary Beach® community pools, or by reserving a standup paddleboarding or kayaking excursion through one of South Walton’s rare dune lakes with The BoatHouse Paddle Club. Want to get even closer with nature? On nearby West Kingston Road, you’ll find an enchanting butterfly garden with a wooden footpath winding through a maze of colorful plants that attract thousands of beautiful butterflies.

And, of course, you’ll want to leave some room for dinner, too! At Havana Beach (or on the Rooftop), you’re bound to want to treat yourself to a delectable menu that’s equal parts Gulf Coast, equal parts Caribbean.

Head to Havana Beach Rooftop at The Pearl Hotel for tapas and cocktails, served with stunning views of the Gulf and of the charming coastal town of Rosemary Beach below. At Costa Chica (located within the private WaterColor Beach Club), you can enjoy coastal-infused TexMex dishes and handcrafted margaritas in a casual rooftop setting overlooking the pool deck.
