This combination of scale, privacy, and value positions The Island as one of the most compelling luxury condominium offerings along the Southwest Florida coastline.
Are the residences at The Island designed differently than other luxury condos?
Yes, The Island at West Bay Club was designed to deliver the scale, privacy, and livability of a luxury estate, rather than a typical high-rise condominium.
With only four residences per floor, every home is a true corner residence, offering an uncommon level of privacy and separation rarely found in new construction towers. This layout allows for exceptionally wide wraparound terraces that open through expansive floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, seamlessly extending interior living spaces outdoors.
The result is a true indoor–outdoor living experience, where great rooms, kitchens, and primary suites flow directly onto deep terraces—ideal for entertaining, dining, or quiet everyday living. These residences function more like estate homes in the sky, combining generous square footage, natural light from multiple exposures, and panoramic views without the density of larger towers.
Floorplans ranging from approximately 3,300 to over 6,270 square feet further reinforce this distinction, providing the comfort and scale of a single-family residence with the convenience, security, and low-maintenance lifestyle of luxury condominium living.

Why do buyers choose The Island at West Bay Club over other new construction condos?
Buyers choose The Island at West Bay Club because it uniquely combines new construction luxury with an already-established private club lifestyle—something that competing developments along the Southwest Florida coastline do not offer.
According to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Compare the Coastline analysis, The Island stands apart by offering potential access to immediate golf and beach club membership, a private resident-only Beach Club, 100% corner residences, boating access, and a fully gated, staffed community—all at a more compelling entry price than comparable luxury towers in Naples and Bonita Springs.
Unlike projects that require buyers to wait years for amenities, social infrastructure, or lifestyle completion, West Bay Club is fully realized today. Owners at The Island are purchasing into depth, maturity, and proven value—not future promises. Delivery is anticipated mid-2027.
How does The Island compare to other luxury towers in Estero Bay, Bonita Springs, and Naples?
When evaluated side by side, The Island at West Bay Club offers a broader lifestyle profile than many higher-priced competitors. While several luxury towers provide 24/7 staffing and waterfront locations, few—if any—combine private beach access, golf, boating, rooftop amenities, and gated community living within one ownership experience.
Notably, The Island delivers:
- A lower starting price and competitive price-per-square-foot
- Fewer residences per floor, enhancing privacy
- A rare opportunity to apply for expedited club membership
- A location within a long-established private community rather than a standalone tower
This combination makes The Island particularly appealing to buyers seeking long-term livability rather than purely seasonal use.
