Luxury buyers' demands are constantly shifting—and today, they’re seeking escapism: amenity and living spaces designed to transport residents to dreamy destinations without ever leaving the building. Especially as many own multiple homes and prioritize wellness, they’re looking for a true sense of retreat.
Recognizing this demand, condo developers are crafting spaces that channel the spirit of world-class destinations—Bali’s lagoons, Turkish spa rituals, and the French Riviera’s coastal glamour—offering residents a sense of escape just an elevator ride away.
Imagine stepping out of the elevator and being instantly transported:
From Edgewater to the French Riviera: ELLE Residences brings the French Riviera to Miami with its resort-style pool deck. Overhead showers nestled within lush greenery, chic loungers and a stylish poolside bar create a serene escape reminiscent of the Côte d’Azur, offering residents a true vacation-like retreat.
From Estero Bay to Bali: At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, renowned architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, drew inspiration for the project’s lagoon from a trip to Bali. Channeling its serenity, the development’s one-acre lagoon serves as the community’s centerpiece, with 15 pavilion-style structures floating on crystalline waters. Lounge above the water’s edge, overlooking the bay and experience the ambiance of an ultra-luxury Indonesian resort—no passport required.
From Surfside to Turkey: Surf Row Residences brings Istanbul’s hammams to Miami’s coastline. Designed as a serene sanctuary, the spa is enveloped in marble, stone and intricate geometric patterns from floor to ceiling. Featuring a marble-clad steam room, a soothing hammam, a tranquil sauna and a private treatment room, the space mirrors the centuries-old Turkish bathing rituals. Here, residents can unwind, recharge and indulge in the art of relaxation.
