At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, luxury and longevity go hand in hand. Here, nature’s protection, advanced engineering, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay’s legendary standards of service, combine to define a new era of resilient coastal living.
Nature’s First Line of Defense
Along Estero Bay’s untouched shoreline, dense mangrove forests do more than create postcard views; they provide powerful natural protection. These vital ecosystems act as a living barrier, absorbing wave energy, filtering stormwater, and helping to stabilize the coast against erosion.
For luxury homeowners, especially those relocating from the Northeast or other urban centers, this natural resilience is an often-overlooked advantage. A home buffered by thriving mangroves enhances everyday comfort and reinforces a sense of security rooted in the surrounding landscape. On Estero Bay, the environment itself plays an active role in shaping a calm, balanced coastal setting.

Developed by London Bay Development Group, the community brings together industry leaders in architecture, coastal construction, and fluid mechanics, including Arquitectonica, Coastal Construction, and NOVA Fluid Mechanics, to create homes that exceed FEMA and structural requirements.
