Looking for paradise? You’ve found it at El Matador! One of the most sought-after family vacation resorts on the Emerald Coast, this gated community offers a peaceful, secluded setting nestled between sugar-white sand dunes and the sparkling emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
This comfortable two-bedroom condo provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy your beach getaway.
Located at the end of Okaloosa Island, El Matador offers the best of both worlds—privacy and tranquility while still being just minutes from the shopping, dining, and entertainment of Fort Walton Beach and Destin. Take a short drive to Destin, known as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” where you can book a charter, enjoy fresh seafood, or explore local attractions like Big Kahuna’s Water Park.
Back at the resort, guests can enjoy a wide range of amenities, including:
- Two swimming pools
- Separate his-and-her whirlpools and saunas
- Tennis courts and fitness center
- Expansive green spaces perfect for family activities
Surrounded by miles of undeveloped beachfront, El Matador offers a truly relaxing coastal experience that will have you coming back year after year.
