Enjoy The Opal
The Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort & Spa in Delray Beach sits on a historic corner where a hotel has stood since 1925—originally the Seacrest Hotel, later a Holiday Inn and Marriott, and now a fully reimagined luxury property under the Opal Collection.
In 2021, a full-scale renovation introduced a bright “Floribbean” look—think white stucco façade, palm-frond details, plantation shutters, and modern indoor-outdoor spaces designed by architect Gary Eliopoulos.
Here's just a sampling of what you'll enjoy:
- Steps away from Delray's award-winning Blue-Flag beach and vibrant Atlantic Avenue, guests enjoy immediate ocean access plus dining, shopping, and nightlife.
- With an ocean-view pool deck, award-winning spa, and 24/7 fitness center, the resort balances elegance and comfort.
- From fresh seafood and cocktails at Drift & Elevate Skye Bar to poolside snacks at Cascades and smoothies at Beach Market Cafe, culinary options are plentiful.
