Baywatch Resort – Traverse City, Michigan
An Inspired Lakefront Retreat on the Shores of Grand Traverse Bay – All Year Round

Baywatch Resort is a serene and stylish lakefront escape located directly on the sugar-sand beaches of East Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, Michigan. Combining laid-back elegance with modern comfort, Baywatch offers guests a boutique hotel experience with breathtaking views, direct beach access, and the warm hospitality of Northern Michigan. Designed with relaxation in mind, each of our well-appointed guest rooms features plush bedding, thoughtful amenities, and private balconies or patios—many with sweeping views of the bay. Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or unwinding with a glass of w**e at sunset, every moment at Baywatch is framed by the beauty of the water. Baywatch Resort is ideal for couples, families, and travelers seeking a peaceful retreat just minutes from downtown Traverse City’s restaurants, w**eries, and cultural attractions. With a private beach, complimentary beach chairs, and easy access to the area’s top destinations—including Sleeping Bear Dunes and Old Mission Peninsula—Baywatch is your home base for Pure Michigan adventures. Four Seasons of Northern Charm
In winter, the magic continues as Traverse City transforms into a snowy wonderland. Guests can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or downhill skiing at nearby Mt. Winter festivals, boutique shopping, and cozy w**e tastings add to the seasonal charm. After a day of exploring, return to the comfort of your room and watch the snow fall gently over the bay. Whether you're planning a summer beach vacation or a quiet winter retreat, Baywatch Resort offers the perfect setting to relax, explore, and reconnect—year-round.
