About Us

The MAK Resort & Spa is established on an area with a rich and distinguished history. Punta Rassa (named “flat or razed point” by Spanish explorers in the early 1500's) juts out where the Caloosahatchee River meets the Gulf of Mexico. It has survived hurricanes, wars and fires to become a traveler’s paradise. A telegraph station was built in the Fort Dulany barracks from the Civil War, and cattlemen began to raise their herds on the Point. Soon the telegraph operator and his wife established a rooming house for the cattlemen, which would later evolve into a small inn upon the quiet shores.

After being destroyed in a 1906 fire, the Inn was rebuilt. Today’s MAK Resort was inspired by its turn-of-the-century design, featuring a rounded Victorian pavilion with a cupola, and two wings of rooms that overlooked the water. Current guests still enjoy the Victorian ambience, and views from waterfront rooms and the signature octagonal pavilion—but now the hotel boasts the most luxurious comforts. The waters off Punta Rassa continue to be known as the world's best site for tarpon fishing. And discerning travelers, the rich and famous among them, still call this idyllic spot their preferred retreat, year after year.
