Luxury real estate is no longer defined solely by square footage or proximity to a golf course. Across the globe, developers are creating lifestyle-first destinations where homes are seamlessly integrated into environments that offer surf lagoons, botanical gardens, marinas, and even access to untouched coral reefs. From multifamily communities to hotel-branded residences, these new projects embody a collective vision: living spaces that deliver not just location, but experience.

Where Iconic Hospitality Meets Ten Acres Of Lush Urban Gardens

Set to transform the heart of Beverly Hills, One Beverly Hills will link three iconic hospitality addresses—the Waldorf Astoria, the newly restored Beverly Hilton, and the first Aman resort and residences on the West Coast. Cain International has envisioned 10 acres of botanical gardens designed by RIOS, anchored by walking and biking paths and lined with luxury retail and fine dining. The $300 million investment by VICI underscores its positioning as both a real estate milestone and a cultural landmark. More than a residence, it’s a destination for wellness, leisure, and design.

Surf Lagoons Transform Resort Living Into A Year-Round Ocean Experience

Bringing the spirit of surf culture to master-planned living, Aventuur introduces Wavegarden Cove surf lagoons that can generate up to 1,000 ocean-quality waves per hour. Each lagoon is framed by architecturally driven residences, boutique hotels, and wellness sanctuaries, including surf therapy and yoga programs. Following the launch of its Jacksonville, Florida community, Aventuur has its sights set on Dallas–Fort Worth, alongside global expansions in Perth and Auckland. It’s a development model that turns wellness and water into cornerstones of community.

Private Homes With Direct Access To One Of The Caribbean’s Elite Marinas

Blending island living with marina culture, Pendry Residences Barbados offers 46 fully furnished private homes on the island’s coveted Platinum Coast.

A Private Island Retreat Offering Yachts, Coral Reefs, And Panoramic Views

Montage Hotels & Resorts makes its first foray into private island residential living with The Residences at Montage Cay in The Abaco Islands. Spanning seven private enclaves, the homes—ranging from two to six bedrooms—overlook the Sea of Abaco with direct access to a deepwater marina. Beyond the slips for yachts up to 100 feet, residents enjoy the rare privilege of exploring vibrant coral reefs just beyond their doorstep, blending eco-conscious luxury with the romance of island living.

Six Design-Driven Villas Carved Into Turtle Tail’s Untouched Coastline

In Turks and Caicos, Windward has carved out Niva, six intimate villas designed directly into the ridge of Turtle Tail. Surrounded by water on all sides, these residences offer unparalleled privacy while maintaining access to South Bank’s resort amenities just two minutes away by boat. Niva reflects a growing appetite for ultra-secluded yet design-forward homes that feel both integrated into nature and connected to curated lifestyle services.

These developments signal a broader shift: luxury real estate that extends beyond ownership into experience. By weaving wellness, culture, and natural landscapes into the very DNA of their communities, they are reshaping not just how people live, but how they connect with place. For buyers and developers alike, it marks the beginning of a new era—where luxury is measured by immersion, not isolation.
