Saltleaf on Estero Bay | Luxury Residences Southwest Florida

Welcome to
Saltleaf on Estero Bay

Unlike stand-alone residential towers, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay come with an expansive sense of community — and list of amenities. Bordered by peaceful Estero Bay, Saltleaf is knitted together by miles of trails and green spaces, including a 144-acre nature preserve. (Yes, it's just as relaxing as it sounds.) Living here, you'll also enjoy a right-in-the-neighborhood marina, waterfront restaurant, golf course and pickleball and tennis courts with your family and newfound friends — because knowing your neighbors is easy with so many ways to be together.

Bonita Springs:
The hidden gem next door

Think less skyscrapers, more murals. And local cafes with a charming, old-Florida feel. This is the laidback, small-town vibe of downtown Bonita Springs, a few minutes up the road from Saltleaf. While you're noodling around town some Saturday, pick up some fresh mangos at the farmers market in Riverside Park. Discover handcrafted treasures at historic artist cottages. Stroll white-sand beaches — hello, turtles! From art festivals to holiday celebrations, Bonita Springs provides a breath of easygoing, Florida-fresh air.

DO & SEE

Southwest Florida adventure awaits you

A starter kit of all your new (and nearby) favorite places.

Is it a golf course or a nature preserve? Well, yes. This new championship golf course quietly weaves in and out of Saltleaf’s lush, 144-acre nature preserve. Where the only homes you’ll see belong to hawks, osprey, deer and other wildlife. Saltleaf Golf Preserve is bringing a whole new level of golf to Southwest Florida. With challenge, yes, but the fun of a family-friendly short course too.

Now Open for Play

Grab your paddleboard, kayak … or sportboat. With boat slips for both residents and the public, Saltleaf Marina will invite everyone to come take a day trip to a nearby island, reel in a hefty red grouper, or just sit back and relax on a sunset cruise. The marina’s chef-driven restaurant provides yet another option: terrace dining with a side of crisp salt air.

THE PRESERVE

Nature's hold on Estero Bay

Venture into the waters of this nearby estuary and you’ll see why it’s considered one of Florida’s healthiest — from the circling egrets to the redfish they hunt, hidden beneath thickets of mangroves. These beautiful trees clean the air, protect our coast, and hold centuries of indigenous history. It’s an honor and joy to be a respectful and supportive neighbor of Estero Bay, Florida’s very first aquatic preserve.
