A new beach resort from a New Orleans developer is helping to redefine the busy and often strident reputation of Florida beaches along the Gulf Coast.
On Scenic Highway 30A, Kaiya Beach Resort offers 173 residences — including beachfront homes, villas and vacation rentals — as well as a fine art gallery, all spread across 32 acres of land that was once a peach farm. Sitting on 250 feet of private beach is another amenity known as the Beach House, a private members’ club that includes an infinity pool and lounge.
This year, the resort is expanding with Oyom Hotel & Spa, which will feature 40 suites, a 4,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, and a fine-dining restaurant.
The developers upbringing in New Orleans’ Garden District — surrounded by ornate metalwork and walkable streets — influenced the architecture of his resort on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
