The Best Beach Hotels in Biloxi, Mississippi

Fancy nibbling on sponge cake and watching the sun bake? This fun-loving Biloxi resort is for you. While away the day at the hotel rooftop water playground, floating down the 405ft (123m) lazy river with a drink in hand, or propping up the poolside bar as the kids splash in the waters. Want some alone time? Send the little ones to the Escape entertainment center with a play-card loaded with cash, while you enjoy a live music date night.

Even if you didn’t fly into Biloxi on Air Force One, you’re welcome to call the White House Hotel home for a few nights. This boutique hotel will treat you to presidential-levels of Southern hospitality with around-the-clock concierge service. The Gulf-view suites pamper you with 4,000 thread-count bedding, deep soaking tubs and comfortable living areas. Order a bottle of bubbly to the rooftop lounge and let the Biloxi breeze transport you to a simpler, more elegant time.

No need to visit the tip of Florida for a wild night on South Beach. Instead, hit this namesake hotel (the only beachfront hotel on Biloxi’s Gulf Coast beach), which is dangerously close to Casino Row. When you’re not laying down cards or cruising the slots, enjoy views over the coast. The only question is whether the best vistas come from the oceanfront pool or your suite’s private balcony. We’ll let you decide.

Give your pup a weekend as delightful as a long belly rub at the Hyatt Place, Biloxi’s best dog-friendly hotel. Each suite has a Cozy Corner with a sofa-sleeper in which your dog will love to curl up. Snag a few sausages or other snacks from the breakfast bar and head out for a lovely morning walk. Cross Beach Boulevard for a stroll along the shore or paw across the nature trail at Lighthouse Park.

Warm sun on your shoulders, ocean breeze in your hair and the sound of your sandals flip-flopping along the Gulf Coast sands – if that sounds like your perfect beach getaway, then Front Beach Cottages was designed for you. These former fishing shacks a short walk from the shoreline have been transformed into quaint B&B-like rentals with kayaks and bicycles to hire. Pack a picnic for nearby Fort Maurepas City Park and Nature Preserve for a shot of greenery.

Just a 6mi (10km) cab ride from the Gulfport-Biloxi International is The Almanett Hotel. Their bar and bistro will lure you out of your suite with the aroma of pan-seared catfish and blackened chicken breast. Though The Almanett may be a couple of clicks west, in Gulfport, you won’t suffer Biloxi blues. Simply hop in a cab on Beach Boulevard and you’ll hit Casino Row in less than 30 minutes.

The beaming white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast are like a spa for your soul; pamper yourself even more at this luxury hotel in Biloxi. High ceilings and large windows make your dove-grey king suite feel even larger than it is, while the wine bar has 45 bottles from which to choose; accompany your drinks with as many small plates (think smoked salmon toast, shrimp cocktail ceviche and charcuterie) as you like. A cocktail at the swim-up bar makes an ideal pit stop along the 950ft (290m) lazy river ride.
