Amrit Ocean Resort: Where Wellness and Romance Converge
From the moment the Atlantic breeze greets you and the tide brushes your toes, it’s clear that the Amrit Ocean Resort is more than a destination – it’s a transformational experience. Nestled on the shores of Singer Island, Florida, with 300 feet of private shoreline, this five-star sanctuary seamlessly blends ancient Eastern philosophies with modern wellness innovations, all with one goal in mind: to elevate every guest’s well-being through intentional, luxurious design.
The Barot Sisters
Sisters and founders Shama and Neera Barot, South Florida natives with Indian heritage, envisioned a resort that celebrates duality – honoring tradition while embracing modern innovation. Thus, Amrit came to life: a holistic haven best described by the Sanskrit word tula, meaning balance – also the name of their signature restaurant. The Barots saw a distinct gap in the hospitality space: indulgence or wellness, but rarely both. Amrit is designed to challenge that binary. Here, guests are empowered to detox, indulge, or discover the perfect synergy of the two, curating their experience according to personal wellness goals.
This philosophy is embedded – quite literally – into the resort’s foundation, where four crystals are placed at each corner to energetically anchor the property. The five symbolic pillars of wellness (nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, sleep, and relaxation – plus an unspoken but potent sixth: community) are infused throughout the guest journey. Even before check-in, a palpable sense of serenity sets in.
Indian Hospitality and a Luxury Guest Experience
Upon arrival, couples are offered a celebratory glass of champagne, melding modern luxury with the spirit of warm Indian hospitality. Inside, the experience continues with refined intention. Dining at Lala (meaning playful), Jeevi (meaning vitality), and Tula (balance) isn’t just nourishing – it’s transformative. Menus are crafted with the guidance of the world’s leading wellness doctors. Seed oils are excluded, ingredients are nutrient-dense and responsibly sourced, and even the bar well is organic.
The resort’s devotion to clean living extends far beyond the plate. Even laundry detergents are void of unnecessary and harmful toxins, protecting guests’ skin during rest. When asked about the resort’s future, the owners expressed ideas that include cultivating on-site gardens to ensure ingredients are as pure and nutrient-rich as possible. Yet, for all its depth, wellness at Amrit is effortless. Guests absorb benefits passively – from spa rituals to restful sleep – or intentionally, should they wish to engage more deeply.
The Largest Spa in Florida
During their visit, couples can explore the resort’s four-story, 103,000 square-foot spa – the largest in Florida. With 25 treatment rooms, the spa includes offerings such as the cutting-edge Ammortal Chamber and indulgent treatments like traditional Moroccan Hammam therapies. Each service is rooted in the Aayush Hydrothermal Experience, a 17,000 square-foot, indoor-outdoor co-ed hydrotherapy circuit, offering experiences tailored to individual needs, making this the perfect destination for pre-wedding pampering, honeymoons, and anniversaries. Whether choosing the full Aayush Experience or targeted rituals to promote better sleep or enhanced energy, each journey incorporates a range of holistic therapies – from hot and cold plunges and a reflexology walk, to the lap pool, steam room, and sauna. The result is a deeply restorative effect that supports rejuvenation at the cellular level, leaving a profound impact both on the individual and strengthening emotional connections within couples.
This level of effort may seem impossible to replicate; however, the Barot sisters are just as devoted to their guests’ long-term well-being as they are to their on-property experience. While we may not all have salt rooms, hyperbaric chambers, red light therapy, or dry flotation beds at home, they hope every guest leaves with tools and rituals that can be seamlessly woven into daily life, as their signature blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science ensures that the benefits experienced at the resort are not just felt in the moment – they’re designed to last well past check-out.
Wellness and Weddings
Select wellness programs are supported by the Persona Wellness Support System (PWSS), a proprietary technology that provides personal wellness coaching before, during and after a guest’s stay. So, whether it's breathwork learned through guided meditation, movement practices like yoga and tai chi, or a more formal wellness “roadmap” – similar to pre- and post-marital counseling – the resort’s practitioners can continue to assist in implementing wellness strategies via virtual consultations and guests can bring Amrit’s philosophy into their routines at home. Practitioners are committed to honoring the old and “celebrating the next generation of wellness,” comparing ancient practices with new technology to determine which techniques have similar effects and in which ways the old and the new can be married to maximize wellness effects both on and off-property.
Speaking of marriage, for couples, Amrit offers a truly elevated celebration of love. Whether planning a proposal, honeymoon, anniversary, or wedding, guests are greeted by a team that redefines hospitality. From the first planning conversation to the final dance, Amrit’s events staff create a fully personalized experience – one that reflects each couple’s unique love story. No two weddings here are alike. With 10,000 square feet of event space and venues ranging from oceanfront terraces to elegant ballrooms and fully customizable menu offerings, every celebration is as distinct as the couple themselves. What truly sets Amrit apart is its ability to create not just unforgettable events but deeply meaningful ones. Couples can choose traditional wedding packages or explore Amrit’s bespoke wellness or cultural packages. Currently, the resort is in the process of certifying its team in traditional Indian wedding customs, a testament to its commitment to cultural respect and celebration.
The Wellness Wedding package is particularly special: beginning with private spa treatments for the couple and culminating in a soul-soothing sound bath for loved ones the night before the ceremony. On the big day, bridal parties enjoy serene ocean views, on-site salon services, and curated Harmony Hours – a unique fusion of cocktail hour and mindful connection. From customized cuisine to immersive rituals, every detail is designed to enrich not only the event, but the lives and love it celebrates. On the other hand, Amrit excels in opulence and can fully support the vision that couples bring, collaborating harmoniously with vendors to ensure truly spectacular events. It should be noted that this is only the beginning. This young resort will soon be opening an additional eatery, creating an increased variety in wedding flow options, and expanding the resort’s already impressive menu with the addition of nutrition-focused comfort foods for the perfect late-night snack offering. Whether an intimate gathering or a boisterous party that ends in a spectacular firework display, Amrit will meet your every need.
Amrit Ocean Resort is more than a venue. It’s a commitment to balance, inclusion, and authentic luxury. For couples seeking a wedding that nourishes body, mind, and spirit, this is a place where love is honored, wellness is sacred, and community is forever. At Amrit, you don’t just check in – you come home to yourself and choose a community that will support you in that journey for years to follow, making you feel like you never really checked out.
