We are absolutely delighted to welcome our dearest friends and family to "Palm Trees and Good Friends," a four-day celebration dedicated to togetherness, relaxation, and shared laughter. The driving force behind this event is simple: to gather the people we love most in one beautiful setting—the stunning Sundial Beach Resort & Spa on Sanibel Island. Our itinerary is designed to offer the best of both worlds, blending exquisite, shared dinners where we can reconnect and create new memories, with ample free time to enjoy the island. Whether you choose to walk the world-famous shelling beaches, play a round of golf, or simply relax by the pool, we encourage every guest, from our youngest friends to our oldest, to choose the activities that best suit their rhythm. This is your time to unwind, laugh, and celebrate the bonds of friendship and family under the warm Florida sun.

Maybe nature and wildlife is your thing; maybe you want to play golf or pickleball. Do you like bike riding or yoga? Or maybe you just want to sit at the pool or beach. We've got you covered! Keep checking here because we will have plenty of activities to choose from.

Sundial is a full service resort on Sanibel and has plenty to offer on the premises. Your resort wristband, given to guests upon check-in, is your passport to a world of fun and exclusive access to all of these complimentary activities and amenities, for resort guests only.

Breakfast is included in your room rate, and you can enjoy it on the patio or indoors at Captain's Catch. There are four options for lunches on the property where you can charge meals and drinks to your room including the tiki bar by the pool or you can take bikes and go off-property on your own. Dinners will be group affairs.

This celebration is all about you! We're thrilled to be gathering 30 of our most beloved couples, spanning ages from 25 to, well, a lot older than 25. You are the heart of this party. Come ready to relax, reconnect, and share four days of sunshine and laughter with the people who matter most to us.
