Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa Review

Good morning! Today I’m giving you the low down on my recent stay with Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa in Jensen Beach, Florida! It’s no secret I love a good warm weather vacation, but this one topped the charts in the relaxation category. Hutchinson Shores is the first hotel to be built on Hutchinson Island in 20 years! Opening it’s doors in 2017, this resort had one thing in mind – an exclusive experience you can’t find anywhere else on the island. 

THE ROOMS

The hotel offers 178 luxurious coastal inspired rooms and suites with a range of view types. Our room included an oceanfront view of the Atlantic with panoramic windows opening onto a lanai that was perfect for enjoying my morning coffee and the breathtaking sunrises this little slice of paradise offers. We even spotted a few dolphins who were out to play! Rooms are outfitted with modern amenities, marble counter tops, amazing bathroom lighting (would I even be a blogger if I didn’t mention that?), walk in showers, and the cutest little porthole that blends perfectly with the hotels beachy theme. I was super impressed with the “newness” of the rooms furnishings, and the comfort level of the beds!

DINING

Hutchinson Shores offers three different dining experiences that all embody the barefoot theme of their beachfront setting.  I personally had the opportunity to try out two of the three options and honestly cannot rave about the food enough! I know I’ve said it before, but food truly makes or breaks a trip for me and Hutchinson Shores Resort truly puts quality at the forefront of their brand. 

DRIFT KITCHEN + BAR 

This is the resorts signature dining experience. It’s an ocean front restaurant that offers high end seafood and Italian specialties. The decor at Drift is absolutely stunning! It’s bright, airy, modern in design, and offers a variety of seating options allowing guests to enjoy their meal however they please. I tried a variety of foods here from Ahi Tuna, to my own personal pizza, and I cannot go without mentioning the most delicious salted caramel ice cream I’ve ever tasted – highly recommend testing out all the deserts. Drift also makes all their pasta in-house! Something else worth noting is that Drift has a stunning private dining room for events! If you’re traveling together with a group, this space is perfect for a more intimate setting! Whether you’re a craft cocktail lover or a premium craft beer connoisseur, this restaurant has something for everyone. They truly thought of everything.

DUNE BEACH BAR

This is the perfect spot to grab a cocktail and hit the beach, or watch the sunset over drinks with your significant other before dinner. It has a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean, and if you’re asking me for drink recommendations, the Mudslide did not disappoint. 

ACTIVITIES

There is so much to do and see at the resort and on the island! If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Miami and trade in beer cans for craft cocktails, and traditional hotel rooms for modern luxury – you’re headed to the right place! Hutchinson Shores Resort is located in a secluded setting on Jensen Beach (just north of Palm Beach) and is just a short drive away from other local attractions. Activities range from sunrise yoga, to deep sea fishing, exploring the areas lush golf courses, paddle board adventures, the pool, beach, festivals, and shopping in downtown Stuart. 

SPA

A relaxing vacation wouldn’t be complete without the spa! Hutchinson Shores Spa offers signature massages, facials, ocean-inspired body treatments, makeup services and more. I had the opportunity to try out a hot stone massage myself, and immediately felt the built up tension from working out and hauling luggage around melt away. It’s the perfect set up for a girls day, bachelorette, or to simply unwind and relax. 

And just like that, my first review of 2019 is complete! Overall, this is an amazing place to vacation. If you’re looking for a calm and relaxing girls weekend, a babymoon location, a weekend away with your significant other, or a great spot for corporate events – I can’t recommend this property enough. There is truly something for everyone here! If you’re interested in seeing a little more about this trip, check out our short vlog of the trip on IGTV here
