About this property

Amarula Spa 8 Bedroom /11 acres on the Tomoka River in Daytona Beach Area

Welcome to Amarula Estates! A perfect getaway for family reunions, vacations, and small conferences. Please bear in mind that we charge a fee if you plan to invite numerous outside guests.
Amarula Estates is on an 11-acre property in a tranquil setting on the Tomoka River yet still in the heart of the Daytona Beach area. Just 15 minutes to the beach and approximately one hour to Disney World.

The estate offers a fully equipped bar, jacuzzi & sauna, infinity swimming pool, and accommodation for up to 24 guests. The gourmet kitchen allows room for several cooks to share their culinary talents while fellow guests relax in the spacious open living and dining rooms.

Five of the eight bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and the remaining two bedrooms have detached bathrooms.

A large back patio has plenty of seating and is ideal for grilling enjoyable meals for a large group. Outside lighting lends a relaxed ambiance in the evenings.

The 500 ft walkway takes you to two spacious docks on the river, and one can use paddleboards canoes, and kayaks that are provided free of charge.
Access to the inter-coastal waterway by boat. 15 mins to the beach, 4 mins to shops, 12 mins to the speedway. Unlimited parking for cars, bikes, and trailers. We want you to enjoy your stay with us.
Amarula Estates named after the Marula tree, as the source of several fascinating legends, has become a sacred and intricate part of ancient African culture. Locals have revered these trees for centuries and refer to them fondly by various names.
Because elephants travel for miles to feast on the wild fruit, locals call it ‘The Elephant Tree’. African folklore also refers to it as ‘The Marriage Tree’. Apart from making a beautifully natural wedding canopy, it’s also said to have aphrodisiac properties and features in tribal fertility rites. The ripening of the Marula fruit in summer coincides with great celebrations in many parts of Southern Africa. In Swaziland, for example, the annual Marula Festival is celebrated at the king’s royal residence, sustaining the belief that the Marula fruit is fit for kings and queens.

This is a wonderful resting place for those who want to enjoy the quietness of nature or to catch a fish or two. Perfect for family reunions.

Opulent property in a secluded place but very convenient to shopping and the beach. Enjoyed the hot tub and the pontoon boat ride down the Tomoka river with Rob, the property manager/captain narrating the interesting lores of the are.

An Oasis

Yes, it is everything as advertised! I scheduled a 5-day retreat for 11 of us to celebrate two milestone birthdays. My friends did not know one another before they arrived. To a person, I was told what a gift I gave them to be surrounded by beauty but also an opportunity to renew. Because I wanted each person to have a private room, I also booked the 4-bedroom cottage on the property. We took advantage of EVERYTHING. On a daily basis, we used the pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. We headed to St. Augustine for the Christmas light show. Given we were minutes away from the ocean, we made two trips. The kitchen was perfect for cooking a special dinner for the birthday celebrations. On Sunday, the onsite manager Rob took us on a pontoon ride that I highly recommend. And friends also kayaked on the river. Rob was great and even interrupted his evening to take pictures of everyone after the birthday celebration. I’d highly recommend a stay at Amarula Estates. We wanted to stay longer.

Hidden Gem

Here's a polished version of your review: We chose this property for a small family wedding, with most of our guests staying on-site for the entire weekend. Our wedding was scheduled for the weekend right after Hurricane Milton hit Florida, and both the owner and property manager were fantastic in keeping us informed about the condition of the property. Fortunately, there was minimal damage—just some fallen branches and a flooded dock. During our stay, we reached out to the owner and manager about a few minor issues, like a wasp nest, a tripped breaker in the hot tub, and the status of the dock. They responded quickly and took care of everything right away. Honestly, the photos don’t fully capture how beautiful this property is. It was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding, and the ideal place for our family to gather and celebrate. I would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful

Everything was exactly as the pictures showed. Property manager was a great help. Kids had a blast in the pool. Wish we had booked it for longer. Just enough room for all 7 of our kids and their kids. They had a play pin for the baby and a high chair. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing property. Highly recommended

This house & the surrounding property are both amazing. The house is very spacious and well equipped with everything you will need. They have shampoo, bodywash, q-tips, lots of towels. The kitchen had tons of spices, tin foil, garbage bags, paper towels, etc. The laundry room was well equipped. The pool was so beautiful and had a wonderful view. The bbq was great. The spa house (which holds the sauna, hot tub, darts, a bar area) is so fun and relaxing. Everything was clean and comfortable. The grounds are so pretty. The wooden bridge pathway to the river is great and leads to a dock with a covered swing. You can sit and watch for manatees to float by or try your hand at fishing. Most of of group did go out in the kayaks as well to get a better look around the area. We go on a big family vacation every year and this was our favorite place. It is so nice. You will love it!

Vacation wonderland!

Amarula is THE place to be if you want an unforgettable vacation. Sure made our anniversary memorable. It's a spacious, clean, beautiful haven of happiness. Sure felt like a private resort. With high kitchen countertops and showerheads, the tall folks might feel like giants while we shorties go on ladder quests, but that's just part of the fun! Greg was super friendly and helpful. Thank you for the fabulous stay!

Great Spot for Family Vacation

I would go on and on about how welcoming we were and how extraordinary this property is. It was such a great experience and to be able to make memories with family, friends and all the kids for spring break; words do not describe it. Our group consisted of 13 adults and 8 kids (ages 2-13). There was plenty of space, and each family had their own room and beds. The house had great charm and a relaxing feeling while outside was amazing. We spent most of our time outside at the pool and the river. We couldn’t keep the kids out of the pool, they swam from the time we arrived to the night that we had to leave. You feel so secluded when you’re at the house but only 3 lights away there is a Walmart and not too far away is Daytona (with a lot of people we had to make a lot of grocery trips). Mr. Greg was fantastic! He made sure that our needs were met which he went above and beyond. I could go on and on about this place and how welcome we were. It is such a great vacation spot with multiple couples/families. We are hoping to plan another vacation in this home.

Once in a lifetime vacation

Last year I invited all of my family and a few of our closest friends to a big family reunion style vacation. We had the most incredible time. The house fit all of us very comfortably. It was absolutely beautiful. Between the pool, the dock on the river, the house, the hot tub and sauna there was so much to do! During our trip we spent a day at DisneyWorld and several afternoons at the beach only about 15 minutes away. But every single one of us agreed that we could have spent the entire time at Amarula and had just as much fun. The hosts are such friendly welcoming people. They were quick to respond to any of our questions leading up to and during our trip. To this day, my family still tells me that this was the best vacation they have ever had- and I have Amarula Estate and our hosts to thank! I can't recommend staying here enough <3

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

THE DESIGN OF THE HOME
At a local school fete, the owner of Amarula estates won a lunch with his congressman in Washington DC. While he was in the area, he visited Monticello the home of Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville, Virginia. Inspired by the Roman neoclassical architecture featuring large columns in the back and front of the house, he returned to Florida and designed and built this home on the banks of the Tomoka River.

What makes this property unique

Amarula estates uniqueness is in the fact that it is over 8000 sq ft on 11 aces. Lots of parking, quiet and private. Large bedrooms all beds are kings and queens size beds.
