Drive between the eye-catching butteries at the entrance of Alys Beach, and you may feel as if you’ve been magically transported to a seaside paradise in Bermuda or Antigua. Palm trees and deep green lawns in the community’s open space contrast the white stucco walls and elegant private gardens of its residences.
The Gulf of Mexico beckons from nearby, while the amazing luxury of the Caliza Pool has a decidedly Mediterranean flair. The “Alys Beach Experience” is one of unparalleled casual luxury in a spectacular beach village setting.

Caliza - Dining at its Finest
Located at the Caliza pool complex is a fine dining experience that is unsurpassed. Caliza Restaurant’s casual poolside dining features fresh local seafood, grilled steaks, pasta, soups, and a variety of salads, but don’t pass up the dessert menu. The Chocolate Hazelnut Bread Pudding and Alys Beach Key Lime Pie are a must.updated: Apr 13, 2012 4:41 pm
Light, Bright, and White
The first thing you notice is how white everything is; white walls, white roofs, even white walkways. That’s because white reflects light and heat and South Walton has a lot of both. It’s all part of Alys Beach’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The less heat absorbed, the less energy needed to cool interiors.updated: Apr 13, 2012 4:39 pm
Caliza Pool
Paved in Dominican limestone (caliza means limestone in Spanish), the Caliza pool complex is an amazing blend of natural and architectural beauty as well as a luxurious place to relax. Comprised of three pools and a whirlpool spa, the main pool, a 100-foot-long ellipse, is one of the largest saltwater pools in the world.updated: Apr 13, 2012 4:38 pm
