The newest, most stylish hotel on 30A, the Pearl in Rosemary Beach, has made quite a splash in 2014. (It’s rumored that Brad and Angie and Vince Vaughn were recent summer guests…) It has everything you could ever imagine: fine dining, luxury spa, and a gorgeous pool enclosed in it’s own European-esque courtyard, and to top it off, the interior is dripping in artwork and local character. Relax at the roof top lounge and take in the breathtaking Gulf views while you sip on a mojito.

The architecture alone is worth the visit.
