Emerald Island Resort Amenities

Emerald Island Resort swimming pools

Swimming is one of the biggest parts of a stay at Emerald Island Resort, with two heated communal pools available within the community. They provide an easy option for families who want a slower day between visits to Disney World and Orlando’s other attractions.

The main pool area sits conveniently close to the clubhouse and Tiki bar, with space to swim, relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.

Hot tub and poolside relaxation

A communal hot tub sits alongside the pool area, providing somewhere to unwind after a long day walking around the theme parks.

Guests can also relax around the pool before stopping for refreshments at the nearby Tiki bar.

Emerald Island Resort clubhouse

The clubhouse is the central hub for many of the resort’s facilities.

Guests can visit the clubhouse for assistance during their stay, access to fitness and leisure facilities and information about equipment and activities around the resort. The main Emerald Island page currently lists clubhouse opening hours of 8am to 10pm, although these may change.

Emerald Island Resort fitness center

The fitness center is located within the clubhouse and offers guests somewhere to exercise without leaving the community.

It is a useful option for adults and older teenagers who want to keep up with their usual workout routine during their Orlando vacation.

Sauna

After a workout or a busy theme park day, guests can make use of the resort’s dry sauna.

The sauna adds a more relaxing element to Emerald Island’s amenities and can be arranged through the clubhouse.

Emerald Island Resort Tiki Bar

The poolside Tiki bar gives guests somewhere to pick up drinks and snacks without leaving the main recreation area.

The resort also hosts entertainment here at selected times, including activities such as live music and karaoke. Current opening hours should always be checked during your stay.

Sports and outdoor activities

Emerald Island Resort offers several options for guests who want something more active than a day beside the pool.

Sports facilities include courts suitable for:

• Tennis
• Pickleball
• Basketball
• Volleyball

Equipment and court arrangements can be checked through the clubhouse.

Emerald Island Resort nature trails

Emerald Island sits within more than 300 acres of landscaped grounds and conservation surroundings, with woodland areas running through the community.

Nature trails provide a quieter way to explore the resort, whether you want to walk, jog or simply spend some time outdoors away from the busier recreation areas.

The combination of tropical landscaping and woodland gives Emerald Island a noticeably greener feel than many Orlando communities.

Emerald Island Resort amenities for kids

There is plenty for younger guests beyond the swimming pools.

Emerald Island Resort has three children’s playgrounds, giving families several outdoor spaces where younger guests can climb, play and burn off some energy.

Older children and teenagers can make use of the sports courts, pools and other recreation facilities, making the resort suitable for families travelling with a mixture of ages.

Families wanting a smaller home base can also browse Emerald Island Resort 3 bedroom townhomes, which combine access to the resort facilities with their own private living spaces.

Emerald Island Resort amenities for active guests

If you prefer an active resort day, it is easy to combine several amenities without leaving Emerald Island.

Start with a workout in the fitness center, play tennis, pickleball or basketball, then explore the nature trails or cool down in one of the communal swimming pools.

This variety is particularly useful for groups where not everyone wants to spend the entire day at the pool.

Emerald Island Resort amenities for a relaxing day

For something slower, spend the morning beside the heated pool, relax in the hot tub or sauna, then take a peaceful walk along the resort’s nature trails.

The Tiki bar also means food and drinks are close to the main recreation area, making it easy to spend several hours around the clubhouse and pool without travelling elsewhere.

Emerald Island Resort access and security

Emerald Island is a gated and guarded community, with controlled access helping create a more private resort environment.

Current Top Villas property pages state that a non-refundable Resort Access Fee of $20 per vehicle, plus tax, is payable on arrival, with a minimum charge for one vehicle and a maximum of five vehicles. Resort policies and charges can change, so guests should check the latest details for their chosen home before travelling.

Choosing a stay at Emerald Island Resort

Emerald Island offers a mixture of townhomes and larger villas, so groups can choose the amount of space that suits their plans without giving up access to the shared resort amenities.

Our Emerald Island Resort townhomes are well suited to smaller families and groups, while 4 bedroom villas provide additional space and selected private amenities.

For bigger family gatherings and group vacations, browse our Emerald Island Resort 7 bedroom villas, with selected homes sleeping 14 or more guests.
