COMPANY OVERVIEW

The Aquagene Spa at Pink Shell Resort, a full-service resort in Fort Myers, Florida, is on Estero Island (re-opening in mid-May), surrounded by the Matanzas Pass on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Pink Shell has evolved from a single cottage built in 1950 to an expansive 12-acre beach resort and marina. While we have grown, our values remain the same—to provide an unparalleled oceanfront escape for families and friends to make memories that last a lifetime. We make our guests feel like family by providing a fun and memorable beach escape, with unmatched attention to detail. The only thing we overlook is the beach.
