Sandpiper Bay All-Inclusive Resort

What Sandpiper Bay All-Inclusive Resort does

Sandpiper Bay All-Inclusive Resort, operated by Sandpiper Bay Resort Holdings, LLC under a franchise agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), is a single-property all-inclusive resort located at 4500 SE Pine Valley St, Port St. Lucie, Florida, on the St. Lucie River. It opened in 2024 as the first all-inclusive property in the United States under IHG's voco brand, offering a bundled pricing model in which one nightly rate covers guest rooms and suites, dining across multiple on-site venues (Riverside Market, Match Point, Solara, The Hideaway Bar, Sunset Bar, Café, and the forthcoming Lucie's and Versus Bar), house cocktails and beverages, daily activities, water sports, professional sports courts, kids programming, and nightly entertainment.

The property serves three primary customer segments: leisure families and couples seeking stress-free vacation stays, wedding couples and event groups utilizing the resort's ballrooms and riverside venues, and corporate and incentive travel groups booking meetings and team retreats. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer channels (the resort's own website, the voco Sandpiper Stay App, and an exclusive offers page) with IHG's global booking platform, IHG Rewards Club loyalty integration, a dedicated travel agent portal, and a group/event sales team. No proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external funding are disclosed; the operating entity reports 17 employees, which appears to reflect the franchise/holding LLC rather than total on-property staff. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the business operates as a privately held single-asset hospitality franchise under IHG's asset-light model.
