Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale's largest gay men's clothing-optional resort with four pools and a full spa
The Grand Resort and Spa is a men-only, clothing-optional resort two blocks from the Atlantic in Fort Lauderdale, operating since 1999 and billed as South Florida's largest all-male clothing-optional property. It spans four connected buildings — The Worthington, The Grand Resort, Alcazar, and Villa Venice — linked by garden walkways, with 96 rooms across more than 30 configurations from studios to penthouses. This is the full-service end of the gay-resort spectrum: four heated pools, three hot tubs, a day spa (massage, facials, waxing, hair, and nails), the on-site Casa Hombre restaurant and Terrace Bar, a fitness center, free breakfast, and weekend wine-and-cheese happy hours. Sebastian Street Beach is a short walk and Wilton Manors' nightlife a quick drive. It's bigger and more hotel-like than the intimate guesthouses nearby — better for travelers who want amenities and a crowd than a quiet retreat. A repeat sponsor of RuPaul's Drag Race, it's one of the best-known names in gay Fort Lauderdale.
