Over the past two decades, Alys Beach has emerged as a superb example of thoughtful master planning. A vibrant town along Scenic Highway 30A and the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast, Alys Beach has become a premier destination for those seeking a relaxed yet elevated lifestyle. Known for its distinguished architecture, intentional design, and community experiences, Alys Beach capitalizes on its enviable location along the sparkling white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf.

Today the heart of Alys Beach is the Town Center, which is alive with a range of carefully curated merchants offering luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment. The town’s focus remains on New Urbanist design, emphasizing walkability and connectivity, allowing homeowners and guests easy access to all Alys Beach has to offer.

Alys Beach offers an exquisite collection of world-class lifestyle amenities, including, and most importantly, the coveted stretch of private beach. In addition to the beach, Caliza Pool and Restaurant remains one of the most recognized and revered amenities for both vacation rental guests and homeowners. With furnished loggias, a rooftop terrace, and multiple pools, Caliza is an exceptional oasis. For those seeking a holistic wellness experience, ZUMA Wellness Center and Racquet Sports Facility provides state-of-the-art fitness classes, including yoga, strength, and suspension training, as well as steam rooms, a lap pool, and more. The recently expanded Racquet Sports Facility added two additional American red clay tennis courts to total four, and three pickleball courts, to elevate ZUMA to a benchmark facility for balanced and intentional living.

Perched above the dunes with panoramic views of the Gulf from sunrise to sunset, the homeowner-exclusive Beach Club stands as the ultimate amenity.

Offering multiple pools, dining, and lounges overlooking the beach, The Beach Club is a perfect setting to relax and take in the many colors of the coast each day.

Also nearing its opening date is The Silva, which will feature an event lawn, pool, and a terrace bar and café. Located on the north side of the town adjacent to the Nature Preserve’s acres of native plants and biking and walking trails, The Silva will provide a new kind of private retreat, adding an additional layer to life at Alys Beach.

To help make every stay as seamless as possible for residents and vacation rental guests alike, the Experience Concierge program is available to coordinate everything from transportation and logistics to custom activities and events—from bicycle rentals and paddleboarding to a beach bonfire, bespoke celebration, or personalized family gathering.

In addition to its amenity collection, Alys Beach maintains a robust, year-round calendar of events. Signature gatherings include 30A Wine Festival each February; Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach, the town’s acclaimed projection-art festival in May; and Alys Beach Crafted, a creative weekend of curated bites, spirited tastings, and artisan markets each November. For those interested in more intimate programming, events such as Small Batch Dinners and Alys Classics provide additional opportunities for connection.

As the town continues its thoughtful progression toward final development, several opportunities for homeownership remain, including Somerset Custom Home Program builds, offered in small, intentional releases through the Alys Beach Sales Center. Homeownership at Alys is truly a legacy investment. With an emphasis on sustainability and long-term resilience, all Alys Beach homes meet the standards of Florida Green Certified and FORTIFIED for Safer Living^®. For those interested in experiencing the lifestyle, the exclusively managed Alys Beach Vacations rental program provides the opportunity to stay in a variety of homes and condominium residences—a perfect way to discover the town and community.

Access to Alys Beach has never been easier. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport continues to expand its schedule, offering new nonstop and direct flights to cities across the East Coast, Midwest, and West. For those seeking fully private air travel, Southern Sky Aviation is the latest in elevated FBO service.

For many visitors and potential homeowners, the initial attraction may be the extraordinary coastal setting. But the reason to stay goes far beyond—to a graceful lifestyle rooted in luxury, art, sustainability, and community spirit. Alys Beach offers not only a beautiful place to live, but a vision for the future of coastal living.
