Breezy Balconies and Elegant Suites Beach Resort
With 144 thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites—many featuring private balconies overlooking the sea or city—every space within the resort radiates calm and comfort. Airy interiors, beach-chic furnishings, and soft coastal hues set the tone for a laid-back yet refined experience.
At the resort’s pinnacle lies the 12th-floor Sky Suite penthouse, a pinnacle of coastal luxury. Boasting the largest outdoor terrace in Fort Lauderdale, this sanctuary features a rooftop shower, sunbathing area, and a state-of-the-art Microsilk Tub enhanced with Chromotherapy and Light Therapy. Add a marble steam shower, fully stocked Nespresso bar, and a private elevator, and you have the ultimate setting for elevated living by the sea.
Oceanfront Dining and Classic Indulgences
At OCEAN2000, guests can dine on fresh, locally sourced seafood while savoring the soothing sounds of the waves. This elegant yet approachable restaurant offers both terrace and beachside seating, setting the stage for unforgettable culinary experiences framed by panoramic views.
Adding to the charm is The Emporium, the resort’s nostalgic 1950s-inspired ice cream parlor. With a delightful menu of house-made gelato, sorbet, and specialty coffee treats, it’s a playful nod to classic Americana that delights guests of all ages.
Fort Lauderdale’s Only Lazy River and a Private Beach
What truly sets Pelican Grand apart is its rare private beachfront access—no roads to cross, no interruptions, just pristine sands steps from your suite. The resort also features Fort Lauderdale’s only lazy river, where guests can float beneath the palms in serene bliss. Paired with a zero-entry oceanfront pool and daily beachside service, the resort offers a quintessential Florida beach experience with a luxurious twist.
PURE Spa and Wellness with a View in Beach Resort
Wellness takes center stage at PURE Spa, perched on the 11th floor with panoramic Atlantic views. Inspired by Scandinavian design, this rooftop retreat offers personalized treatments, aromatherapy, and calming rituals that elevate relaxation to an art form. The tranquil setting and thoughtful amenities allow guests to unwind both body and mind.
Beach Resort with Events, Experiences, and Timeless Hospitality
From beach yoga to live music and culinary events, the Pelican Grand Beach Resort curates experiences that align with the rhythms of its guests. The resort’s Pelican Beach Calendar keeps visitors up-to-date on seasonal happenings designed to enhance every stay.
General Manager TJ Pierri emphasizes that the resort’s charm lies not just in its amenities, but in its people. “From the front desk to housekeeping, the genuine warmth and care our team brings transforms a stay into a cherished memory,” he says.
Heritage, Innovation, and the Path Ahead
The resort stands on storied ground—once home to four motels, including the original Pelican Beach Motel. Its transformation into today’s luxury resort included a rerouting of historic A1A to make way for its grandeur. Yet despite its evolution, Pelican Grand maintains its roots, celebrating its past while embracing the future.
Sustainability plays a growing role in that vision. With energy and water conservation efforts, reduced plastic use, and eco-friendly sourcing, the resort’s Pelican Beach Eco Efforts reflect a conscious commitment to environmental stewardship.
Technological enhancements also improve the guest experience. In-room smart controls, digital concierge services, and streaming options offer guests convenience without compromising the resort’s timeless feel.

Whether it’s paddleboarding in the waves, sipping cocktails on a rocking chair-lined veranda, or indulging in spa rituals with the ocean as your backdrop, Pelican Grand Beach Resort offers more than just a stay—it offers a connection. A place where modern luxury meets vintage charm, and every detail, from ice cream to ocean views, feels thoughtfully crafted.
For those seeking an elevated yet welcoming seaside retreat in Fort Lauderdale, the Pelican Grand Beach Resort promises timeless experiences and lasting memories.
