The Only Hotel With a Rooftop Pool on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
On the top floor of Hotel Effie, Ara Rooftop Pool & Lounge awaits! Named for the southern constellation, Ara is both a luxurious pool experience and a stylish rooftop lounge where you’ll find the finest wines, hand-crafted artisanal cocktails, and a delicious menu.
Kick back in a private cabana or enjoy a game of life-size chess, Connect 4, or cornhole. After sundown, the fun, relaxing vibe eases into a cool, hip one. And let’s not forget those panoramic views from the top.
