Settled directly on the soft, white sand shore of the Gulf of Mexico, Shalimar is an Old Florida-style resort of 33 units, offering fun and relaxation in a peaceful, pristine atmosphere. Whether you wish to celebrate a romantic retreat or a family holiday, Shalimar provides quality accommodations for all your needs.
Have the beach at your doorstep in one of the spacious motel efficiencies, or enjoy modern comfort and convenience in a one-bedroom cottage or two-bedroom apartment. All the natural wonders of the island are right at hand, so you can relax by the pool in the shade of lush palm trees, take a dip in the gentle waves of the Gulf, or delight in a spectacular sunset from your balcony.
Tennis courts, golf courses, a recreation center, and water sports opportunities are all nearby. Shalimar’s convenient location near the south center of the island also makes Sanibel’s unique shops, restaurants, theaters, and art galleries easily accessible.
Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a seasonal retreat,
Shalimar Cottages & Motel has something to fit your vacation needs.
Those seeking more excitement might rent a bicycle on the property to explore the island, a long-time home to loggerhead turtles, dolphins, alligators, and countless species of birds and fish. The famous JN “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, an estuary paradise for magnificent wildlife, is only ten minutes away.
At Shalimar, our focus is on our guests’ experience — that’s why we take so much pride in our cottages, apartments, & efficiencies. We spare no detail when it comes to cleanliness and quality, and we believe it shows.
Each accommodation is tastefully decorated and fully furnished with modern amenities. Sliding glass doors lead to screened sitting areas that allow guests to take in the outdoors. Enjoy a true Sanibel Island cottage experience whether you stay for a day, a week, or a month.
Your stay at Shalimar is almost guaranteed to be a success due to its location mere footsteps from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. With 300 feet of private beachfront, Shalimar guests get to experience the best in swimming, sunning, shelling and fishing. Sunsets are legendary at our Gulf Front cottages, and are best enjoyed with a simple cocktail, chairs on the beach, and good company.
Shalimar is located on Sanibel Island, one of Southwest Florida’s well-preserved tropical sanctuaries, and among the nation’s most highly sought-after vacation spots. The property sits surrounded by restaurants and shopping of all price points and prestige levels, as well as a local botanical garden and a bird and wildlife sanctuary.
Cottages, apartments, & efficiencies equipped with all the conveniences for both short- and longer-term stays.
