The Island: A New Luxury Highrise Tower at West Bay Club
The newest addition to West Bay Club is The Island — a luxury highrise tower offering panoramic views of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The Island represents the latest phase of development in the community, bringing elevated views, contemporary design, and a higher level of amenity to the West Bay Club lifestyle.
As a new addition, The Island gives early buyers the opportunity to select preferred floor plans, finishes, and vantage points within the building. Residents enjoy all the benefits of tower living — expansive sightlines over the community and surrounding Gulf coastline — alongside the privacy and security of the gated community below.
The Island residences are designed for buyers who want modern, low-maintenance living with access to the full resort-style amenity package at West Bay Club. This is tower living within a community that has years of reputation and infrastructure behind it — not a standalone high-rise. For buyers interested in new construction tower living at West Bay Club, The Island represents a rare opportunity to own in a premier coastal community from the ground up.
What Daily Life Looks Like
Residents at West Bay Club enjoy a daily routine that feels more like a resort stay than ordinary suburban living. The community pool and cabana area serve as a social hub, and the fitness center is equipped for both serious training and casual wellness routines.
Walking paths throughout the grounds offer a place for morning exercise or evening walks. The community regularly hosts social events that bring neighbors together — a key reason West Bay Club has built such a loyal following among full-time and seasonal residents alike.
Beyond the gates, the Gulf of Mexico and Estero Bay are a short drive away. Coconut Point offers upscale shopping and dining. Bonita Beach, Fort Myers Beach, and the barrier islands are accessible for day trips. Southwest Florida International Airport provides easy travel connections for seasonal homeowners and full-time residents who maintain ties elsewhere.
