About Alys Beach
One of the most beautiful new urban towns in the world, Alys Beach is located on Scenic Highway 30A in Florida’s panhandle, along what The New York Times said “may be the best beach in the continental U.S.”
In April 2008, Forbes.com named Alys Beach one of America's Top Second-Home Spots and the Best Spot for the Design-Savvy, while in March, The Washington Post said, “It's stunning: Not half a mile west of Panama City Beach, you fall into the pages of Architectural Digest.”
“Alys Beach may be the most truly innovative community under construction in the United States today, and it will eventually be imitated everywhere,” said Andrés Duany, who was ranked one of the Top 5 most influential people in home building by Builder magazine.
The Spirit of Alys Beach
Alys Beach is a special place. Affectionately named for the matriarch of the town's founders, Alys Beach is
a reminder that what once was can indeed still be. A life of balance, a life of beauty, a life of simplicity, a life of grace. A life defined.
Life at Alys Beach is relaxed and romantic, vibrant and fulfulling. It's laughter, music, bonfires, sunsets on the beach, good food and good friends. It's about a way of life that is simple, elegant, and graceful.
Architecture
Alys Beach is a marriage of tradition and romance. It's the union of English and Spanish architecture with the soul of a European resort. The architectural style of Alys Beach was born in both Bermuda and Antigua, Guatemala. Beautiful white stuccoed walls and white-ridged roofs are like the white caps on an azure ocean. The style is simple and timeless. When complete, the town will be home to over 600 villas, row houses, courtyard homes and family compound retreats, as well as numerous restaurants, parks and shops.
