Costa d'Este Beach Resort & Spa
Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa brings sleek Miami‑style Art Deco design to Vero Beach’s quiet coastline. Owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, the resort offers a boutique beachfront experience with an infinity pool, a full‑service spa, and Cuban‑fusion dining at The Wave Kitchen & Bar. The atmosphere is modern, stylish, and intimate, making it a favorite for couples and travelers seeking a trendy coastal escape. Rooms feature contemporary décor, rainfall showers, and private balconies with ocean or pool views. The beachfront location provides easy access to calm Atlantic waters, while the resort’s smaller size ensures a more personalized and peaceful stay compared to larger beach hotels. Why We Recommend It: A Vero Beach resort directly on the Atlantic. The resort fee includes valet and overnight parking, welcome drinks, beach lounge chairs, bikes, and non-motorized watersports.
