For all the many virtues of a beach getaway, there’s one limitation inherent to even the most perfect of tropical escapes. Eventually, it comes to an end, and we must leave it all behind for home. That is, unless paradise was to become home. That’s the idea behind Auberge Collection Residences in sought-after destinations where best-in-class amenities, world-class design, and around-the-clock concierge service promise a perfect—and permanent—place in the sun.
In Miami, that sunny place comes with an illustrious history: In 2027, South Beach’s legendary Cromwell—an Art Deco masterpiece constructed in 1939—will be reborn as Shore Club, Auberge Collection. The transformation will create an architectural dialogue between past and present, with Bryan O’Sullivan helming the meticulous restoration of the historic building, and Robert A. M. Stern Architects erecting a brand-new, 18-story tower with 49 residences.
Although the two buildings will be separated by nearly a century, they have been carefully designed to seamlessly connect, says Kemper Hyers, Auberge Collection's chief creative officer. "The new tower has beautiful echoes of the Art Deco style, but with a sophistication and edit that feels 100 percent relevant to today. It's bringing the glamour of the original Cromwell into present day."
Residences will include floor-to-ceiling windows, large terraces, and custom kitchens; many will also have their own direct-entry elevators. Yacht-inspired interiors bring in details like mahogany and oak wood finishes, brass accents, and other natural materials that echo the sand and sea. Shore Club’s most desired piece of real estate, meanwhile, is its 8,000-square-foot, standalone beach house, a single-family, full-service villa with a private entrance and pool. The residential tower will feature its own wellness areas, lounges, and a residents-only pool, and owners can also access the amenities at Shore Club, Auberge Collection, including a wellbeing retreat and signature restaurants.
Just a few miles north on South Florida’s Gold Coast, an exclusive new destination rises in Shell Bay Club, Auberge Collection, a 150-acre beachfront enclave with a private yacht club, a Greg Norman–designed championship golf course, and a sleek, 20-story residential tower. Scheduled to open in 2027, 108 fully furnished residences have been master-crafted by AvroKO with spacious open floorplans and wraparound terraces that frame cinematic views across verdant fairways and coastal waterways. Inside, gourmet kitchens come with marble counters, Gaggenau appliances, and stocked minibars.
"It's like you've entered an oasis," says Chelsea Buckland, Auberge Collection's vice president of residential and development. Exclusive services enhance that sense of seclusion, with private or semi-private elevator entries, valet closets, butler assistance, and concierge offerings. Amenities include a private porte cochère and lobby, a 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, and a rooftop pool, as well as access to the 15-acre Shell Bay Club community's 18,000-square-foot wellbeing retreat, wine-tasting room, co-working suites, sports simulator, bowling alley, and Florida's only Grand Slam racquet club.
Still farther north lies Fort Lauderdale’s most coveted address: Auberge Beach Residences. Located just 450 feet from the ocean, the waterfront property has an exceedingly rare, and highly coveted, location, says Chelsea Buckland. “It’s right on the sand, whereas most residential buildings here are across the street from the beach.”
Articulated as two asymmetrical glass towers with curving terraces that wrap around a glazed atrium to maximize Atlantic views and exposure to sunlight, Auberge Beach Residences bring an innovative and evocative style to the expanding Fort Lauderdale skyline. Inside, New York-based design firm Meyer Davis carries that beach-modern brief into tranquil public and private spaces with an understated palette, organic textures, and sightlines that extend to the water.
Each residence features nearly 10-foot floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive terraces. At the lobby and lounge level, the mood balances polish and ease: Contemporary millwork, sculptural lighting, and natural stone set a calm, upscale tone. Throughout the 4.5-acre grounds, homeowners enjoy exclusive use of multiple oceanfront pools, private beach club service with cabanas and dining, a 6,000-square-foot spa, a Napa Valley Wine Room, and a cigar lounge.
In Puerto Rico, perched between the emerald slopes of El Yunque and Puerto del Rey, Moncayo, Auberge Collection is, in Buckland’s words, “an adventurer’s paradise,” spanning 1,100 acres of pristine coastline. Slated to open in 2027, the community champions a design philosophy that gently weaves built form into nature, especially when it comes to the residential offerings. Interiors firm Studio Paolo Ferrari designed for fluid indoor-outdoor living: Spaces open onto gardens, plunge pools, and expansive patios, while wraparound balconies frame uninterrupted Caribbean vistas. Open floorplans, chef’s kitchens, and spa-like bathrooms create an extension of the serene surroundings.
Residences include three- and four-bedroom standalone Resort Villas with private decks, pools, and sweeping ocean views; Auberge Private Residences designed for full-time living with up to five bedrooms; and Estate Homes for semi-custom plans crafted in collaboration with Moncayo’s international team of architects. Ownership also comes with privileged access to the Moncayo Ocean Club—anchored by the Caribbean’s first Mackenzie & Ebert–designed championship golf course—as well as a private beach, an Auberge Spa rooted in Taíno healing traditions, a 100-acre regenerative farm, and a 400-acre nature reserve.
In Mexico’s exclusive Punta de Mita community, roughly an hour’s drive from Puerto Vallarta, Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Collection is secreted away from the holiday crowds—especially when it comes to the property’s 54 residential villas. Wedged between jungled cliffs and a white-sand beach, the homes blend contemporary design with authentic style via natural materials like locally sourced stone, Mexican-inspired fixtures and finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Bay of Banderas views. “We’re offering a turnkey experience with all furnishings included so homeowners can show up and tell us where to place their surfboard,” Buckland says.
Balancing scale with sensitivity to their coastal setting, estate plans at Susurros del Corazón range from intimate cliffside retreats to expansive oceanfront estates, some extending across multiple levels with broad terraces, shaded courtyards, and private plunge pools. The result is a series of dwellings that feel at once rooted in Mexico's design traditions and attuned to contemporary living.
For homeowners, the appeal lies equally in what extends beyond their front door. Residents share in the life of the adjoining Auberge Collection resort-named the #2 Resort in Mexico by Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2025 List-with access to three tiered infinity pools, a beach club set on a sheltered cove, and ONDA, Wellbeing by Auberge. Restaurants, movement studios, and curated cultural programming further weave the residences into a community that is both private and connected.
Though each Auberge Collection Residence offers something unique, one detail remains the same everywhere: exceptional service. "We get to know each of our homeowners before they even move in," Buckland says. "We know their preferences; we know their dog's name; we know when their birthday is." And every experience is a new opportunity for customization-whether it's a box of fresh, local produce delivered straight to your door or a private shopping experience at a residents-only designer trunk show.
