Citizens in dire need of a break…a tax break, rest easy at Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, where bags are hand-delivered to guestrooms and guests of the Exemption Escape program indulge in the welcome "1040 Easy" cocktails, a refreshing Floridian libation with hints of citrus for a true coastal getaway. An evening on the calm intercoastal waters awaits with the "Deduction Dinner" aboard the Sanibel Harbour Princess, a 100-foot private yacht, providing glimpses of gorgeous sunsets and saltwater breezes. Guests are further pampered with a sales tax refund, where the resort refunds all resort taxes through resort credit, which can be used toward anything at the resort including a taste at one of the seven dining options or at The Spa. Philanthropists give back to the environment with a meaningful vacation and in return get a tax write-off while volunteering with CROW, Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel. CROW is dedicated to rehabilitating injured or orphaned animals indigenous to Sanibel’s ecosystem.

Presenting more than 380 accommodations, the classic Southwest Florida escape presents exhilarating views of its natural surroundings. Chef Felix Nunez creates savory tastes among the seven dining options including everything from casual pool fare to decadent steak restaurant. The 40,000 square-foot Spa at Sanibel Harbour offers an expansive fitness center and includes 29 treatment rooms. With one of only 16 in the world, BETAR (Bio Energetic Transduction Aided Resonance) sound beds, which creates energy wave impulses with aromatherapy providing a totally holistic experience, The Spa has been named among the "Top 10 Spa Resorts in the U.S." by Condé Nast Traveler.

The 85-acre Preferred Florida Green Lodging resort is located on a private peninsula overlooking Sanibel and Captiva islands. Only 25 minutes from the new Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, the resort is a recipient of the AAA Four-Diamond Award since 1992, as well as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
