We have lifestyle programs designed with the purpose of improving your health, encouraging friendships, and introducing you to all that Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay has to offer. We are happy to take care of the hassles and inconveniences so you can enjoy your life.
Welcome Home & Be Our Guest at Our Retirement Community!
If you’re still contemplating whether senior living is right for you, why not try it yourself with our Be Our Guest Program, where an exclusive, customized, VIP experience is delivered for you and your guest – absolutely free!
It’s Always Helpful to Try Before You Buy
You try on clothes and always test drive a car before you buy, so it doesn’t make sense that you have always had to take a leap of faith when it comes to senior living. Inspired by this real need, our Be Our Guest program is an amazing, new way to experience life in our senior living community.

Experience what could be your daily lifestyle – waking up each day with an extensive list of exciting activities for your enjoyment and relaxation. Enjoy chef-prepared cuisine at each meal between your favorite social and recreational activities (or try new ones). Make the most of your abundant leisure time now without having to worry about maintenance, housekeeping, and cooking. We’re confident that after your visit, you’ll think to yourself: “Why haven’t I moved here sooner!”
Enjoy VIP Treatment while Exploring and Socializing
Prepare for the VIP treatment you will receive upon arrival with a personalized plan that matches your interests and lifestyle. Join us in our art studio if you’re the creative type and are interested in an art class. Maybe you just want to relax and watch some movies; we have that for you too.

You will also enjoy different venue options serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anytime “grab and go” snacks.
You Are Never Alone
Nobody knows more about life in our community than those who already call us home. That’s why we will pair you with a Resident Ambassador who shares your interests as you learn about everything we have to offer. There isn’t a more perfect opportunity to receive first-hand advice and insights from like-minded peers who are more than happy to share their experience over some cocktails!
Experience Resort-Style Amenities & Activities
From leisurely activities to fun, new adventures, our Grande Clubhouse is the social epicenter of our community. Try out an exercise class or visit our FitCamp® Center, attend a lecture or musical performance, get pampered in our salon and spa, take a dip in our resort-style heated pools, or simply shoot some pool and play cards with our various card clubs. We have something for everyone!

Ambassadors Club
The cuisine at Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay is some of the best you will find anywhere. Many have noted that the quality of our catered dining is a high point of their experience here. A few years ago, we decided to convert to restaurant dining because personally, we love going out to eat and couldn’t imagine life without it. We love good service and varied menu options. You’ll be excited to try mouthwatering dishes prepared by Sensations chefs – using locally sourced, fresh ingredients available. Unlike other retirement communities, our friendly and knowledgeable servers offer a highbrow dining experience. Tableside service is complete with tasteful lighting, linen napkins and tablecloths, and the best tableware that lavishly completes your dining experience.
