A new luxury resort in Orlando is set to offer a unique combination of a lagoon, a beach, and a St Andrews-style golf course, according to developers. The project, named Evermore Orlando Resort, aims to provide a high-end vacation experience reminiscent of European coastal resorts.
Resort Features and Amenities
The centerpiece of the resort is a 15-acre lagoon with a sandy beach, offering water sports and relaxation. The golf course, designed by a team with links to St Andrews, will feature a links-style layout. The resort will include 400 hotel rooms, 800 vacation rental homes, and a range of dining and entertainment options.
According to the developers, the lagoon will be the largest in the United States, with crystal-clear waters maintained by advanced filtration technology. The beach area will include cabanas, loungers, and a beach club.
Economic Impact and Timeline
The resort is expected to create thousands of jobs during construction and operation. The first phase, including the lagoon and some accommodations, is scheduled to open in 2025. The total investment is estimated at $2 billion.
A spokesperson for the developer said, "We are creating a destination that offers the best of coastal living in the heart of Orlando. The St Andrews-style golf course will appeal to golf enthusiasts, while the lagoon and beach will attract families and leisure travelers."
Comparison to Other Luxury Resorts
Evermore Orlando Resort is part of a trend of luxury resorts incorporating artificial lagoons and unique golf experiences. Similar projects have been developed in other parts of Florida and the Caribbean. The resort aims to differentiate itself by combining these features in a single, integrated location.
The developers have also emphasized sustainability, with the lagoon's water system using 100% recycled water and the golf course incorporating native landscaping to reduce water usage.
