Extending from the Gulf of Mexico across Scenic 30A on 158-acres, Alys Beach is being designed in the tradition of English and Spanish architecture, specifically of Bermuda and Antigua, Guatemala. Whitewashed masonry and stucco typical of the style possess an uncomplicated, organic beauty. Homes will have courtyards and rooftop terraces. The resort promises to have the soul of a European Resort.

Amenities include: a 22-acre nature park with walking trails, Alys Beach Club, several swimming pools throughout the resort, tennis courts, fitness center, an amphitheatre, a Town Center that will have an international news stand and press, restaurants, bistros, retail boutique shops, ocean plazas, and Alys Beach Market. Three-story, mixed use buildings will line a waterfront plaza, which will serve as a gathering place in the community. They will feature arcades and cafes at ground level and apartments above, all of which are presently under construction.

According the renowned architectural firm of Duany, Plater-Zyberk who designed Alys Beach, "The town will employ the best available urban design and architecture techniques to create a harmonious relationship between humans and the
environment."
