The Ritz-Carlton Residences Estero

Welcome to The Ritz-Carlton Residences Estero Bay

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay brings legendary Ritz-Carlton service to a remarkable waterfront setting overlooking the protected waters and mangrove islands of Estero Bay. Located within Saltleaf, a master-planned coastal community in Bonita Springs, the development combines expansive private residences, panoramic bay views, five acres of resort-style amenities and immediate connections to boating, golf and Southwest Florida’s outdoor lifestyle.

Developed by London Bay Development Group with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Meyer Davis, the development comprises 224 private residences across two 22-story waterfront towers, with only 112 homes in each building. The South Tower is complete and welcoming owners, while the North Tower is under construction with anticipated delivery in 2027.

Expansive Waterfront Residences

Residences are designed around scale, natural light and a strong connection to the surrounding water. Floor-to-ceiling glass and unusually deep terraces frame uninterrupted views across Estero Bay, while generous interiors provide the proportions expected from a substantial primary or seasonal residence.

The collection ranges from approximately 2,628-square-foot two-bedroom-plus-den residences to penthouses approaching 6,800 square feet of interior living space, with select penthouses offering extraordinary private terraces exceeding 6,000 square feet.

Residence features include:

• Two- through four-bedroom floor plans
• Expansive private terraces
• Floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant glass
• Panoramic Estero Bay and sunset views
• Private elevator entry
• Interiors by Meyer Davis
• Open-concept great rooms
• Custom kitchens with premium cabinetry
• High-end integrated appliance packages
• Large kitchen islands designed for entertaining
• Spa-inspired primary bathrooms
• Freestanding soaking tubs and oversized showers
• Generous primary suites and dressing areas
• Dedicated laundry facilities
• Private residential storage
• Secure parking
• Sophisticated smart-home technology

The scale of both the interiors and terraces distinguishes the project from many newer condominium developments, creating homes that feel particularly well suited for extended seasonal use or full-time residency.

Ritz-Carlton Residential Service

The Ritz-Carlton service philosophy is integrated throughout daily life at Estero Bay.

A dedicated residential team provides personalized assistance designed to simplify ownership and deliver the level of service associated with the Ritz-Carlton name. Concierge, valet and residence-management services create a highly serviced environment while preserving the privacy of a purely residential community.

For owners maintaining multiple homes, the ability to rely upon professional on-site management provides the convenience and reassurance expected from a sophisticated lock-and-leave residence.

Five Acres of Resort Amenities

Approximately five acres of private amenities surround the two towers, creating a substantial resort environment directly along Estero Bay.

Rather than concentrating amenities inside the buildings, the development incorporates pools, landscaped gardens, outdoor recreation and waterfront gathering spaces throughout the property.

Three swimming pools provide distinct environments for relaxation and activity, while a remarkable approximately one-acre lagoon-style pool creates the centerpiece of the outdoor amenity experience.

The broader amenity offering incorporates fitness, wellness, social spaces, dining, recreation and private outdoor environments designed exclusively for residents and their guests.

Wellness and Fitness

Wellness plays an important role in the Ritz-Carlton Estero Bay lifestyle.

Residents have access to extensive indoor fitness and wellness environments complemented by outdoor spaces that take advantage of Southwest Florida’s year-round climate.

The approximately 36,000-square-foot indoor amenity program includes sophisticated fitness facilities, movement and training spaces, spa-oriented environments and areas dedicated to relaxation and recovery.

Combined with the pools, landscaped grounds and broader Saltleaf setting, owners can move easily between structured fitness, outdoor recreation and quieter restorative experiences.

Waterfront Social and Dining Spaces

The residences include a variety of private club and entertaining spaces designed to extend the usable environment beyond the individual home.

Residents can gather in sophisticated lounges, entertain in private dining environments or enjoy outdoor spaces overlooking Estero Bay.

The result is a residential experience that accommodates both privacy and social life without requiring owners to leave the property for every gathering or event.

Saltleaf Marina and Boating Lifestyle

A major differentiator is the development’s position within the larger Saltleaf waterfront community.

The nearby 72-slip Saltleaf Marina provides a direct connection to Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, creating an appealing environment for boaters and owners who spend meaningful time on the water.

The location provides access to some of Southwest Florida’s most beautiful coastal environments, including Estero Bay, Lovers Key, barrier islands and Gulf beaches.

This is not simply a tower with water views.

The water becomes an active part of everyday life.

Saltleaf Golf Preserve

Golf provides another important dimension to the surrounding Saltleaf lifestyle.

The Saltleaf Golf Preserve introduces a thoughtfully designed golf environment within the broader community, giving residents proximity to championship-level golf without sacrificing the waterfront setting that defines the residences.

The combination of bayfront living + marina access + golf creates a lifestyle offering that is particularly unusual among Southwest Florida luxury condominium developments.

Acqua Bistecca and the Saltleaf Lifestyle

The broader Saltleaf community continues to evolve as a destination rather than simply a residential enclave.

Acqua Bistecca, developed in partnership with acclaimed chef and restaurateur Michael Mina, adds a significant culinary component to the waterfront environment.

Together with the marina, golf preserve and future village amenities, the restaurant helps create a more complete lifestyle around the residences — one where dining, boating, recreation and social life are integrated into the surrounding community.

A Different Waterfront Alternative to Naples

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay offers an interesting alternative for buyers considering Naples beachfront or bayfront new development.

Instead of traditional beachfront living, the residences overlook the protected natural landscape of Estero Bay, with expansive views across mangrove islands, waterways and sunsets.

That setting is quieter and more nature-oriented than many urban or beachfront high-rise locations, while remaining within convenient reach of Naples, Bonita Springs, Southwest Florida International Airport and the broader Gulf Coast.

For buyers prioritizing substantial residences, Ritz-Carlton service, boating, golf and extensive amenities, the development delivers a compelling combination at a distinctly different price point from many of Naples’ newest branded residences.
