A Secluded Beach Resort
Step into a seaside hideaway where the Atlantic breeze meets artistic energy and coastal calm. Plunge Beach Resort isn’t just another beach hotel — it’s a place where you move to your own rhythm, guided by waves, local flavor, and thoughtful details at every turn.
Where You’ll Be
Nestled right on El Mar Drive along A1A in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we put you exactly where you want to be: steps from the sand and mere minutes from the town’s charm — surf shops, the fishing pier, local music, and casual coastal eats
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known for preserving its small-town beach vibe. There are no high rises here — everything feels light, bright, and anchored to the ocean.
What Makes Plunge Unique
- Boutique Size, Big Heart: We’re intentionally scaled so we can care — really care — about each guest’s experience.
- Art & Expression: Expect local art, curated installations, and creative touches woven into the property — from the lobby gallery to wall murals and eclectic décor.
- Design That Speaks Beach: Bright white exteriors trimmed with “Plunge Blue,” breezy interiors, and spaces that blend indoor + outdoor.
- Accessible & Thoughtful: We believe in travel for all. You’ll find accessible pathways, amenities, and an inclusive mindset built into our design.
- Play + Pause: Here, work and rest mix. Yoga on the sand, live music, beach games — you’re encouraged to take a break.
Stay Your Way
Whether you're in one of our main resort-tower rooms or tucked into a beachside bungalow, each space is designed with personality and comfort in mind. Think coastal colors, ocean art touches, premium linens, and small surprises that make you smile every time you walk in.

Plunge Into The Arts
We proudly support our local art community by displaying the work of local artists in our lobby art gallery as part of our Plunge Into The Arts Program. Plunge Into The Arts is presented by Plunge Beach Resort in cooperation with Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District Partners Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, History Fort Lauderdale’s New River Artist Cooperative, and ArtServe. The goal of the program is to provide a showcase for local artists whose work is unique, fun, thought-provoking and edgy as well as to support our local arts community and venues like the Bonnet House, History Fort Lauderdale and ArtServe.
To be considered for the program, artists must confirm that their pieces adhere to the size requirements of the Lobby Gallery and provide samples of work. For more information and to apply, visit our Call to Artists.
