Time to Unwind with Some Gulf Shores Plantation Amenities

I’m in the midst of planning a girls-only Gulf Shores & Orange Beach vacation with a couple friends. We all agree that we need a few days away at the beach to unwind, relax…and lots of physical activity.

Oh yes, I’m very serious about relaxing with physical activity. We are all exercise-inclined individuals, but with work and our kids’ after-school and social activities, it can be difficult to fit workouts and other activities into the day to day schedule. So on this beach vacation, we plan to take full advantage of certain Gulf Shores Plantation amenities.

We’ll be using the exercise room, for one thing. I actually have a gym membership, though I don’t get to use it regularly. So I plan to enjoy a solid workout every morning on this vacation. I also plan to challenge the girls to some tennis and basketball, as the Gulf Shores resort offers eight tennis courts and a lighted basketball court.

And I have to squeeze in at least one round of golf, and one of my favorite advantages of Gulf Shores Plantation is that Kiva Dunes is located right next door—talk about convenience and active relaxation!

Of course we’ll want to do some real relaxing—it is vacation, after all. And I think it will be twice as easy (and twice as enjoyable) to kick back by one of the resort’s seven pools and enjoy a nice glass of wine on the condo’s private balcony after a day of activity.
