The Residences at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort

The St. Regis Residences

Private Residential Living Within a Five-Star Gulf-Front Resort

The St. Regis introduced a form of ownership that had not previously existed on Longboat Key: a privately owned residential community integrated into a full-service branded resort. The three residential buildings occupy the southern portion of the property. The Armand Building sits closest to the Gulf, the Bateau Building is positioned between Armand and Champagne, and the Champagne Building lies near the private residential entrance along Gulf of Mexico Drive.

A Residents' Clubhouse and Wellness Center connects the Armand and Bateau buildings, while a private residents-only pool and spa are located between the homes and the beach. Together, the three buildings contain 69 residences across 18 original floor plans, ranging from one-bedroom homes to expansive lanai-level residences and penthouses.

Why Buyers Love The St. Regis Residences

Private residence, full-service resort.

The St. Regis appeals to buyers seeking more than a traditional beachfront condominium.

Owners have private residential amenities and entrances, but they also live within a fully operating resort. This creates a choice between the privacy of the residents-only pool, clubhouse, wellness center, and beach area and the broader experience of the resort's pools, restaurants, bars, spa, saltwater lagoon, and social spaces.

The service structure is equally distinctive. Butler and Concierge services support daily life, travel, dining, entertaining, deliveries, maintenance, and periods when the owner is away, with in-residence dining, housekeeping, personal training, spa treatments, and pet care all available to arrange.

The Story Behind The St. Regis Residences

A new model for Longboat Key.

The St. Regis was developed on the former site of the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort, a property that played an important role in Longboat Key's resort history before closing in 2010.

Former Site

The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort

Plans for the new development introduced a different model for the island. Instead of rebuilding the site solely as a hotel or conventional condominium, the property was designed as an integrated resort and residential community, with three private residential buildings arranged around the resort's shared landscape and amenities.

2024

An Integrated Resort & Residential Community

Sales for the residences began in 2020. Construction followed on one of the largest single development sites completed on Longboat Key in decades, ultimately creating 69 private homes, a new St. Regis resort, multiple dining venues, an oceanfront spa, pools, a saltwater lagoon, landscaped waterways, and 800 feet of beachfront. The resort formally opened in October 2024.

Today, The Residences at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort represent a new chapter in the island's development.

Buying at The St. Regis Residences

Find your residence.

Every St. Regis residence offers a different ownership experience. Buyers often compare building, floor-plan number, floor level, Gulf or resort orientation, terrace size, private pool availability, garage capacity, interior design, and proximity to the residential and resort amenities. The differences among the three buildings are meaningful. Armand contains the largest original homes and occupies the most Gulf-forward residential position. Bateau offers both compact and substantial residences close to the residents' clubhouse. Champagne provides the broadest selection of floor plans and convenient access to the private residential entrance. Ownership also involves more than the residence itself. Buyers should understand the relationship among the condominium Association, residential management, the resort, the shared-facilities structure, and the St. Regis management and licensing arrangements. For more than four decades, Pettingell Professionals has helped buyers navigate Longboat Key's luxury market. We understand the details that distinguish the St. Regis buildings, floor plans, terraces, services, views, and ownership structure and help our clients evaluate the residence that best fits their lifestyle and long-term goals.

Selling at The St. Regis Residences

Tell your residence's story.

Today's luxury buyers begin their search long before they schedule a showing. They compare buildings, study floor plans, evaluate terraces, research services, and look for reliable information about the relationship between the private residences and the resort. That's why we've created one of Sarasota's most comprehensive luxury condominium and residential community guides. Our goal is simple. When someone searches for The St. Regis Longboat Key Residences, we want them to find the most accurate, informative, and complete resource available. More importantly, we want your residence to be part of that discovery. For sellers, this matters. A St. Regis residence should not be presented as simply another Gulf-front condominium.

Combined with exceptional photography, cinematic video, strategic digital marketing, and more than four decades of experience representing Sarasota and Longboat Key's finest properties, we position your residence where today's luxury buyers begin their search.
