WELCOME TO THE BLUE DOLPHIN
A Romantic Boutique Inn on Sanibel Island
A chic beachfront getaway awaits you at The Blue Dolphin, an adults-only (18+) hotel on Sanibel Island.
Relaxation. Romance. Timeless hospitality. Storybook sunsets. A secluded, boutique inn privately tucked away on a pristine stretch of Sanibel Island coastline. A tropical hideaway. As close as you can get to the Gulf of Mexico. Swaying coconut palms. Sand. Shells. Surf. The rhythm of nature. Less than 15 steps to the beach. The perfect location. The Sanibel experience.
We specialize in helping you celebrate your special moments in ways you’ll never forget…honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, accomplishments, creative retreats — and well-deserved spontaneous romantic getaways!

Sanibel’s Most Romantic Small Beach Resort
The Blue Dolphin on Sanibel Island invites you to slow down at our laid-back and sensuous shoreline paradise.

BOOK DIRECT + SAVE: The rates posted here on our official website are ALWAYS the lowest rates — and there’s NEVER a Nightly Resort Fee!
“There are so many wonderful things to say about the Blue Dolphin…quiet, private, great staff who are happy to help if you need ANYTHING, but are equally unobtrusive and will never disturb you. The location is the best on Sanibel Island. It’s so peaceful and so quiet…the loudest thing you’ll hear are the birds. The grounds are tropical and exquisite, the sunsets are the best on the island and the rooms are spotless.”
