The Plantation on Crystal River

Plantation on Crystal River is an original Florida resort situated along 1,600 feet of seawall on the Nature Coast, where the spring-fed waters of Kings Bay meet the Gulf. The 232-acre property has welcomed guests since the 1950s, offering a combination of classic accommodations, a full-service marina, and an 18-hole championship golf course designed in 1958 by Mark Mahannah. For events, the resort offers more than 12,000 square feet of indoor meeting space and expansive outdoor grounds accommodating 20 to 500 guests. The Magnolia Ballroom seats up to 224 for banquets beneath elegant chandelier lighting, while the Sable Ballroom provides 2,776 square feet with direct access to an outdoor veranda. The Palm Room features an indoor fireplace and staircase, and The Point — a 60,000-square-foot outdoor lawn adjacent to the canals and Kings Bay — hosts ceremonies and receptions of up to 500 guests around the resort's signature gazebo. In-house catering and a preferred vendor list round out the resort's event offerings. Overnight accommodations across 196 guest rooms, a lagoon-style pool, a spa, and adventure activities — including guided manatee swims — make Plantation on Crystal River a destination for multi-day celebrations.
