Managed by The Ritz-Carlton, this unique program offers owners a top tier beach experience tailored to their specific wants and needs.

 
Whether enjoying a day of fun-in-the-sun with family or relaxing on the beach, residents will have their special requests catered to. From setting up beach beds, umbrellas or towels to coordinating food and beverage options or transportation, the staff will do it all.
“Owners can experience an ultra-luxury lifestyle with access to an array of services and enriched amenities including beach club access, entertaining, dining options, and a number of spa services that can be booked through The Residences’  concierge,” adds Sternberg.

As the only residential offering in Playa Mujeres, La Amada introduces sophisticated coastal living in one of Mexico’s most untouched areas.

With a $6 million renovation underway, La Amada Residences has announced the launch of sales for its luxury mid-rise condominiums. By the winter of 2017, the property will feature a new fitness club, upscale gourmet food shop and a new Beach Club. Prices are set to begin at $300,000’s and range over $1.3 million.
Throughout five unique buildings, there will be 140 residences. Floor plans will range from one- to three-bedrooms and interiors will span from 1,200 to 3,000 square feet.
Purposefully designed for its beach-centric location, the collection of residences effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor living with large glass sliding doors and outdoor spaces from expansive terraces to rooftop decks.
Owners and their guests will also enjoy private access to a swim-up bar, tennis and paddleball courts, cabana and barbeque spaces, a world-class gym and more.

“La Amada Residences has found a piece of virtually untouched Mexican landscape that combines the serene escape each of us long for with elements of adventure we never knew we were missing,” said Julie Quigley, sales director for La Amada Residences. “We are thrilled to launch sales on this piece of paradise and invite future residents to celebrate everything Playa Mujeres has to offer.”

The Beach Houses at Fasano Residences + Hotel Miami Beach are perfect for lovers of the beach and paradise. Offering five two-story Beach Houses that will flank either side of South Beach’s largest pool, this luxury is only 40-feet from the ocean.
The property is being redesigned by Isay Weinfeld, award winning Brazilian architect who has also designed the hotels for Grupo Fasano in São Paulo. These listings offer the same contemporary design and feeling of seclusion that will be prominent throughout the 3-acre space.

The Beach Houses offer 67 ocean front residences, each with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Priced up to $7.2 million and ranging from 1,238 to 1,679 sq. ft., these homes offer privacy and ground entry with the benefits of being part of a resort-style community.
Each home is a spa oasis, with amenities including a private plunge pool upon entry, a sauna and spa therapy room. And of course, residents will have access to all of Fasano’s hotel amenities including the poolside restaurant and bar, garden-facing bar, hotel lobby lounge, fitness facilities and spa and wellness center. The hotel also provides a lagoon style pool and stunning gardens for its guests to enjoy.

But as we research, we thought we’d whet your appetite with another list — one we’ve never done before. For last year’s Ultimate Homes, we found 567 properties selling for $20 million or more. More than 25 percent of those listings were in California. So for this, our annual winter waterfront issue, we thought we’d celebrate waterfront and water-view masterpieces with a look at the priciest offerings along the California coast.
