April 8th, 2025 – This April, as master sculptors descend upon Florida’s Gulf Coast to transform sugar-white sands into museum-worthy masterpieces, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa is offering guests more than a front-row seat. In celebration of the 2025 Clearwater Beach Sugar Sand Festival, the luxury beachfront resort is amplifying the experience with curated enhancements that invite families, couples, and solo travelers alike to engage with the festivities in style.
A “Day at the Beach” with Thoughtful Touches
Timed with the festival’s run from April 11 to April 27, 2025, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach is rolling out its specially designed “Day at the Beach” amenity kit—a curated collection of coastal essentials tailored for festival-goers. Available by reservation for guests, the amenity kit includes a child-sized beach tent, sandcastle building tools, snacks, sunscreen, two beach towels, a coloring book with crayons, and a beach-themed bedtime storybook—thoughtfully assembled to provide a seamless beach day with children in tow.
The kit reflects Hyatt’s dedication to blending comfort with connection, ensuring every guest can participate in the local spirit without sacrificing convenience or luxury.
Artistry on Display: A Lobby Sandcastle Installation
The resort is also welcoming visitors with a sculptural surprise. Throughout the duration of the Sugar Sand Festival, a custom-built sandcastle will be on display in the resort’s lobby, showcasing the same craftsmanship and artistry that define the nearby exhibits on the beach. This indoor installation brings the magic of the festival indoors, offering a photo-worthy moment for guests checking in or returning from a day in the sun.
“We are thrilled to welcome our local community and visitors around the world for the famous Sugar Sand Festival. With our prime location next to the festival and exceptional amenities, guests can enjoy an unforgettable beach getaway while immersing themselves in the artistry of the world-renowned event.”
Ildebrando Salazar, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach
Accommodations That Feel Like Home—with a View
Beyond the festival, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach continues to deliver its signature blend of residential-style luxury and Gulf-facing design. Each of the resort’s 286 spacious guest rooms features water views, with accommodation options ranging from 450-square-foot poolside suites to expansive 1,600-square-foot deluxe residential-style suites with full kitchens and private balconies. Ideal for multigenerational trips or extended stays, many rooms are also equipped with kitchenettes or full kitchens—an increasingly rare find among beachfront resorts of this caliber.
On-Site Experiences: From Rooftop Pools to Poolside Yoga
A key highlight of the resort is its rooftop pool deck, which offers not only panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico but also wellness programming such as poolside yoga. Guests looking for elevated privacy can retreat to one of the climate-controlled luxury cabanas, complete with 55-inch televisions, dedicated food and beverage service, and private bathrooms—a resort within a resort.
Dining options on property also reflect the region’s culinary identity while offering versatility. SHOR American Seafood Grill presents classic coastal fare, while Tropico Rooftop Cantina brings Latin-fusion dishes paired with sweeping sunset views. For low-key beach days, SHOR To Go & Market provides convenient grab-and-go meals.
Where Art, Hospitality, and Community Converge
Located steps from Pier 60 and the Beach Walk, the resort places guests in the heart of Clearwater Beach’s activity-rich coastline, making it an ideal base for those seeking a cultural immersion during the Sugar Sand Festival or simply looking to unwind along one of America’s most celebrated shorelines.
For those drawn to both creative celebration and coastal calm, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach is offering an experience that’s equal parts artful and effortless.
