London Bay President and CEO Mark Wilson was joined by Director of Sales George Mato in welcoming attendees. Special guests included Marriott International Senior Vice President of Residential Operations John Hearns and Director of Residential Marketing Ayanna Wiggins.

Guests were greeted by butler-passed champagne and cool towelettes, and served a menu of custom canapes and small plates curated to capture the essence of the serene waterfront locale and the unparalleled luxury The Ritz-Carlton is known for. The newly transformed Ritz-Carlton Resort in Naples played a pivotal role in curating and catering the esteemed "Taste of The Season" event, offering attendees a captivating preview of the exceptional service that awaits them at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay upon its completion.

“I am absolutely thrilled to welcome our valued buyers and esteemed partners back to our sales gallery, where we have the privilege of showcasing the extraordinary lifestyle of their future homes,” said Wilson. “This celebratory moment served not only to revel the start of season in Southwest Floridia, but to commemorate the significant sales success we have witnessed for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay – a testament to the unparalleled quality of this development."

Priced from $3 million, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay will rise 22 stories. Residences range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet and include two, three and four bedrooms, each with a den. Dedicated private elevator entry, unobstructed sunset views of the bay from every residence and spacious balconies up to 2,200 square feet enhance enjoyment of daily life. Storage will be plentiful, with generous bedroom closets and a personal private storage unit. Owners will have the choice of three finish packages selected by Meyer Davis, the award-winning New York design studio behind the property’s stunning interiors and impressive shared spaces.

Nestled beside the breathtaking beauty of the state’s oldest aquatic preserve of Estero Bay, the residences present a rare opportunity for the legendary brand in a nature-filled oasis. Imagined by globally acclaimed design firm Arquitectonica, the cascading façades of the buildings are inspired by the tranquil waterfront setting, integrating harmoniously into the surrounding topography. Allowing for maximized vistas, each condominium frames the sky to capture natural light, from sunrise to sunset.

A rich program of amenities spans five acres, with 36,000 square feet of indoor offerings alone. This includes a Wellness Center with fitness, a yoga and Pilates studio, private training rooms, and locker rooms with steam and sauna. Adding to the experience, a centrally located, 8,000-square-foot space, The Oasis, will present a Sunset Lounge, private dining room, Sports & News Café, Wine & Whiskey Room, card room, and demonstration and catering kitchen.

The property’s outdoor oasis stimulates tranquility, surrounded by enchanting gardens by landscape architect EDSA. Residents can enjoy three pools, abundant open spaces, and floating-like pavilions at an expansive lagoon water feature that visually flows into Estero Bay. Bocce courts, multiple fire pits and barbeque stations also provide abundant activities that promote group gatherings.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay are set within the new coastal village of Saltleaf on Estero Bay, a reimagined, master-planned community that connects residents to over 500 acres of nature preserve.
