GETTING TO LONGBOAT KEY
Which airport should I fly into? You have two convenient airport options:
Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) This is the closest airport to Longboat Key and is our recommended airport if flight schedules and pricing work for you.
Tampa International Airport (TPA) Tampa is a larger airport with many more flight options and can be a great choice if it offers a better flight or airfare.

SRQ → Longboat Key
- Approximately 11–15 miles, depending on your destination on the Key

Should I rent a car? A rental car is not necessary for the retreat if you are comfortable using Uber/Lyft for airport transportation and getting around independently.
We recommend considering your personal travel plans when deciding whether to rent a car. If you plan to extend your stay, explore Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, Anna Maria Island or other nearby destinations, a rental car may be convenient.
WHERE SHOULD I STAY? Guests are responsible for booking their own accommodations on or near Longboat Key. We recommend booking your hotel as early as possible, especially if you would like to stay at one of the luxury resorts on Longboat Key.
Where do you recommend staying? There are several beautiful options on Longboat Key and in the surrounding Sarasota area. A few options to consider include:
The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort
The Resort at Longboat Key Club
Other Longboat Key Options
There are also a number of smaller resorts, inns and vacation-style properties throughout Longboat Key that may be a good fit depending on your budget and preferences.
Tip: If you're attending Radiate with a friend, consider sharing a room or vacation rental to make your stay more affordable — and even more fun!
Will you arrange my hotel reservation? No. Guests are responsible for booking their own accommodations directly with the hotel or property.
Can I stay somewhere other than Longboat Key? Absolutely! You can also stay in Sarasota, St. Armands, Bradenton or nearby areas and use Uber/Lyft to get to the retreat. If you choose to stay off Longboat Key, just be sure to allow additional travel time for traffic when planning your arrival and departure.
