I used to get extremely burnt out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel, flight or finding out what to do for a break. I thought "Wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant." So that's what I did. I also realised, as I dipped my toe into spas, that there was so much confusing information online about massages and treatments. I started writing my own guide, researching each experience personally. This mini-guide gives you the Clearwater hotel, two restaurants and a fantastic place for healing, along with ways to get up and close with wild dolphins, as well as a desert island experience and even a spa rumoured to be the original Fountain of Youth. This guide is a little bit bigger than the escape in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, but there are so many magical things to see and do in and around Clearwater that I just couldn't help myself.
