The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort & Residences

Gulf Coast's Premier Luxury Address — Resort Living, Private Ownership, Unrivaled Setting.

Welcome to The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort & Residences

About the Neighborhood

The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort & Residences represents the most significant addition to the Sarasota luxury market in a generation — and the most ambitious resort-residential development on Florida's Gulf Coast in more than 50 years. Set on 17.6 acres along 800 feet of private white Gulf sand beach in the southern section of Longboat Key, the property commands one of the most spectacular Gulf-front positions available anywhere on the Florida coast: the Gulf of Mexico stretching west to the horizon, Sarasota Bay visible to the east, and one of the longest private beach frontages on the island directly at its feet.

The development was years in the making and opened to immediate recognition as the defining ultra-luxury address on the Gulf Coast. The St. Regis brand — globally synonymous with the highest standard of hospitality, from its founding property in New York to outposts in Bora Bora, Bal Harbour, and Aspen — brings its full legacy of service, design, and experience to this remarkable Florida setting. For the Sarasota and Longboat Key markets, the St. Regis fundamentally changed the ceiling of what is possible here, setting a new benchmark for luxury that the broader market is still calibrating to.

Real Estate

The St. Regis Longboat Key Residences offer 69 whole-ownership private condominium homes fully integrated within the resort — one of the rarest and most coveted product types in Florida real estate. Owners purchase outright: this is not a fractional, timeshare, or hotel-room investment, but private condominium ownership within a world-class branded resort.

The residences are housed across three dedicated buildings — The Armand Building (three-bedroom designs), The Bateau Building (one- to four-bedroom designs), and The Champagne Building (one- to four-bedroom designs) — each offering private residents' amenities including a dedicated pool and spa, a residents' clubhouse and wellness center, and a private sunset pier. Every residence comes with full access to the resort's complete amenity program — pools, 800-foot Gulf beach, spa, dining, and the legendary St. Regis Butler service — as well as the exclusivity and long-term equity of outright ownership.

For buyers at the apex of the Sarasota and Longboat Key market, the St. Regis Residences offer something genuinely without equivalent in this region: private ownership, a world-class branded resort lifestyle, an irreplaceable Gulf-front address, and the value protection that comes from the most prestigious development on the island. With only 69 residences total, scarcity is a defining characteristic of this market.

Lifestyle & Amenities

The St. Regis resort experience is the backdrop for daily life here — and it is exceptional by any measure. The property's pool program is among the most thoughtfully conceived on the Gulf Coast: a sprawling saltwater lagoon, a heated infinity-edge pool, a meandering stream, and a secluded adults-only pool and spa. The 800-foot private Gulf beach — with beachside palapas, cabanas, and the full attention of the St. Regis service team — delivers a beach experience in an entirely different category from anything publicly accessible on the island.

Dining at the St. Regis is a destination in its own right. CW Prime offers a chef-driven steak and seafood experience at the resort's flagship restaurant; The St. Regis Grille serves all-day casual cuisine; The Beach Café and Sunset Bar provides relaxed beachside dining; The Monkey Bar pours craft cocktails with your feet in the sand; and the classically inspired St. Regis Piano Bar anchors the resort's evening social life. The resort's full-service spa offers indoor and outdoor treatment areas and a private adult pool — described by the property as unlike any other destination spa in the world.

Beyond the resort's gates, residents have everything that makes Longboat Key one of Florida's most desirable addresses: miles of uncrowded Gulf beach, the Longboat Key Club for golf and tennis, exceptional island dining, and easy access to downtown Sarasota's restaurants, galleries, opera, theatre, and cultural institutions. The St. Regis resident lives simultaneously at the peak of the resort experience and at the heart of one of the Gulf Coast's most complete communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

The property includes a 166-room luxury hotel and 69 private whole-ownership condominium residences, along with 800 feet of private Gulf beach, multiple pools (including a saltwater lagoon and infinity-edge pool), five dining venues, a world-class spa, and the legendary St. Regis Butler service. It is the most significant development on Longboat Key in more than 50 years and the premier luxury address on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Can you own a residence at the St. Regis Longboat Key?

Yes. The St. Regis Longboat Key includes 69 private whole-ownership condominium residences — not fractional or timeshare units, but outright ownership. Residences are spread across three buildings (The Armand, The Bateau, and The Champagne), ranging from one- to four-bedroom designs. Owners receive full access to all resort amenities — beach, pools, spa, dining, and Butler service — as well as private residents-only amenities including a dedicated pool and spa, residents' clubhouse, and a sunset pier.

How does the St. Regis Butler service work?

The St. Regis Butler service is the brand's signature hospitality offering — a dedicated personal attendant available around the clock for a wide range of personalized services: unpacking and packing, in-residence dining setup, errand assistance, reservations, and anticipatory service tailored to the preferences of each resident. Butler service has been the cornerstone of the St. Regis brand since its founding in New York in 1904 and is what most fundamentally separates the St. Regis experience from any other luxury residential or hotel product.

Where exactly on Longboat Key is the St. Regis?

The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort & Residences is located at 1620 Gulf of Mexico Drive in the southern section of Longboat Key. The property sits on 17.6 acres with 800 feet of private Gulf beach frontage. Its southern Longboat Key position places it minutes from the New Pass Bridge connecting to Sarasota and close to the island's most established residential communities, while remaining within easy reach of St. Armands Circle, Lido Key, and downtown Sarasota.

Who buys at the St. Regis Longboat Key?

Buyers at the St. Regis Residences are typically individuals and couples at the apex of the luxury market — for whom this represents a primary luxury residence, a premier Gulf Coast second home, or a meaningful upgrade from an existing Sarasota or Longboat Key property. Many are already familiar with the St. Regis brand globally and view ownership here as the Gulf Coast expression of a lifestyle they have built elsewhere. The common thread is a desire for absolute quality, effortless service, and a setting — 17.6 Gulf-front acres with 800 feet of private beach on Longboat Key — that cannot be replicated.
