Sarasota Green Community. Lakewood Ranch is one of the most exciting developments in the Sarasota, Florida community. This “green zone” is a paradise of good living that also proffers to give back just as much-if not more-of what it gets. Starting in 2005, new homes and structures have been built with green, environmentally friendly materials, the idea being that a light footprint on nature’s gifts will yield a great reward for those who call this area of Sarasota home-whether it’s permanent or temporary.

Area Activities. The greening of Lakewood Ranch benefits everyone who comes to this idyllic corner of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Enjoy dozens of varied activities, from golfing at the Legacy Golf Course, just a mile from our hotel, to a day on the white sand beaches at Siesta Key, just a 15-mile jaunt from our Sarasota hotel. Hike, bicycle, and bird-watch in Myakka River State Park. Kayak or fish on a variety of waters, from rivers to the Gulf. It’s all waiting in Florida.
