Itineraries

Energized and Ready for Fun
At Gulf Shores Plantation you can enjoy a day full of high-energy fun.

Greet the sunrise from your balcony or patio then head to the exercise room for a morning workout. For a better view, take a brisk walk along the beach and watch the pinks and oranges of the sunrise give way to a brilliant blue sky.

Stop by Connections for a cup of coffee before returning to your condo or cottage.

Continue your energetic day with a game of tennis on one of our eight courts. Or go for a fast-paced pick up game of basketball.

After working up a sweat on the court, you'll be ready to make a splash in one of our seven pools.

Wrap up the day with an afternoon bike ride around the grounds. And as the sun sets, head back to the beach to catch another Gulf Coast masterpiece.



In the Swing of Things
Do you define a great vacation in golf terms? Well, here at Gulf Shores Plantation, you can plan a day to suit you to a tee!

Work on your putting action on our convenient putting green then head over to Kiva Dunes right next door for a round of golf. This Jerry Pate signature course is just steps from your condo. Kiva Dunes Clubhouse is on the West side of the Plantation Resort entry road. The course spreads westward, dotted with lakes and lush foliage. One of the top courses in the area.

Want to keep on swinging? Make the short drive to Peninsula to try the challenge of 23 lakes, huge white sand bunkers on a masterful course winding through native cypress and live oak groves. This Earl Stone course is flanked on two sides by the Bon Secour Wildlife Preserve. 

More? No problem. Book your golf package with Gulf Shores Plantation and we can help you discover nine area golf courses.



Laid Back and Relaxing
Ready for a day of pampering? Relax and unwind at Gulf Shores Plantation where the pace can be as fast or slow as you like.

Start the morning, mid-morning, or afternoon (it's your call) with a cup of coffee on the balcony. Then venture down to your favorite pool and find the perfect lounge chair - you know the one, with just the right amount of sun and shade.

Indulge yourself in a great romance novel. Just don't forget the sunscreen and sun hat. If you forgot yours, stop by Connections.

After all that hard work turning pages, you deserve a spa treatment. Make the short drive next door to the Spa at the Beach Club to enjoy a massage, a facial or a manicure.

Return to Gulf Shores Plantation and head to the beach to practice the art of lounging on the white sands.

All this hard work will certainly work up your appetite. Toss on something beach-comfortable and pick your spot for a great dinner.



Ready to Explore
Got a notion for some nature? Hankering for some history? The Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area has plenty of options for you.

Grab your hiking boots and explore the natural paradise of Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. Or make the drive to Gulf State Park and pick a trail to discover.

To step back in time, head west on Fort Morgan Road to the pre-Civil War bastion of Fort Morgan. Learn the story of the Battle of Mobile Bay.

Prefer to check out the birds? Pick up a brochure and your binoculars and spend a few hours on the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail.

For a drive to remember, hit the road on Alabama's Coastal Connect scenic byway. The route takes you to beaches, flowers, fishing, small towns, history and countless treasures.
