Loews Sapphire Falls Resort Opens – A Caribbean‑Inspired Oasis with Direct Park Access at Universal Orlando

Explore Universal Orlando Resort’s newest hospitality gem.

From the moment guests step into Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando, a Caribbean‑inspired oasis welcomes them with sun‑kissed skies, lush gardens, and a cascading waterfall. As the resort’s fifth on‑site hotel with direct access to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, it redefines tropical luxury in Orlando.

A leisurely stroll through the resort’s island‑inspired streets transports visitors to a tranquil retreat, yet keeps them moments away from the thrills of the two flagship theme parks.

The 1,000‑room property blends standard rooms with spacious family suites. Each space showcases a light, airy aesthetic, modern amenities, and picturesque views of the resort’s tropical landscape.

The resort’s centerpiece is a 16,000‑sq‑ft lagoon – the largest pool on the Universal Orlando campus – featuring zero‑degree entry, sandy beach areas, and a dramatic water slide.

Guests dine across multiple venues, including the signature Amatista Cookhouse™ which delivers Latin and Caribbean flavors and hosts the newest character‑branded breakfast experience at Universal Orlando Resort.

Strong Water Tavern, a chic rum bar and lounge located just beyond the lobby, offers a curated selection of vintage rum and tapas while overlooking the resort’s verdant grounds.

At the heart of the property, a rocky stream feeds a multi‑story waterfall, creating a postcard‑worthy backdrop that enhances the resort’s island vibe.

Like all on‑site Universal hotels, Sapphire Falls provides complimentary water taxis to the parks, early park admission, and a suite of exclusive perks.
