This luxury community will include south Florida’s first new private golf club in 20 years

Hallandale Beach, just two miles north of Golden Beach, is home to one of the area’s newest luxury communities. The private community sits on 150 acres and represents the new frontier of elite clubs, bespoke residences, and elevated wellness and leisure.

Shell Bay includes The Residences at Shell Bay, a 20-story residential tower with 108 units, a 60-key boutique resort managed by Auberge Resorts Collection and The Shell Bay Club, one of the most exclusive private members clubs in North America. The club features a 7,250-yard championship golf course designed by golf legend, Greg Norman. This feature is of particular prominence as it is the first new private members golf club in the Miami area in more than 20 years.

In the official press release for the property, Norman stated that the course at Shell Bay would be one of the “most unique, pure golf experiences “ he designed. The golf course is set to open in the winter of 2023.

Community amenities include a premier racquet center led by acclaimed doubles players the Bryan Brothers, a 48-slip private yacht club with a boutique market for provisions and an iconic dockside cocktail bar, a private Member’s Clubhouse with a spa featuring a holistic menu and a performance fitness center.

The development of Shell Bay is under the leadership of visionary real estate development firms Witkoff and PPG, while the living quarters of the resort were brought to life by Auberge Resorts Collection.

The residences will be part of a fully gated community with 24/7 monitoring, offering open-concept layouts with expansive living and entertainment areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive 10-foot ceilings on typical floors, spa-inspired primary bathrooms, gracious wraparound terraces with vistas of the private golf course, and minibars serviced by the hotel. In addition, residences will have a dedicated Director of Residences to provide the highest level of personalized care and a la carte resort services, including in-residence housekeeping and dining.

The Residences at Shell Bay will be available for occupants in 2025.
