This 19-story tower houses 181 units, offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding coastal landscape. Situated on 520 feet of pristine white sand beach, La Riva provides a tranquil retreat for those seeking luxury and privacy in a laid-back coastal setting.
The condominium's design emphasizes spacious living and unobstructed views, with some floors dedicated to a single residence. This unique layout ensures that many units benefit from the building's prime location, allowing residents to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Perdido Key.
Expansive penthouses with Gulf-front views
La Riva Resort Condos offers an exclusive collection of 4 to 5-bedroom penthouses, each occupying an entire floor. The 4-bedroom units range from 4,313 to 4,314 square feet, featuring 4.5 bathrooms and priced between $2,250,000 and $2,850,000. For those desiring even more space, the 5-bedroom units span from 7,250 to 7,951 square feet, with 5 full and 2 half to 7 bathrooms, and are priced around $3,570,000.
Each residence boasts floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant glass, providing uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Mexico from nearly every room. The open-concept floor plans are designed for entertaining, with spacious living areas, formal dining rooms, and gourmet kitchens featuring high-end appliances such as Viking and GE Monogram.
Luxurious touches abound, including Italian marble floors, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting fixtures. Many units feature Calcutta Gold Marble countertops, sandblasted and weathered oak cabinetry, and Schumacher wallpaper. The kitchens are equipped with large islands, wine refrigerators, and butler's pantries, perfect for hosting gatherings.
Master suites are a true retreat, with Gulf-front views, large walk-in closets, and spa-inspired bathrooms featuring whirlpool tubs and tiled showers. Additional bedrooms each have their own covered balcony and private view of the Gulf. With 11-foot ceilings throughout and expansive outdoor terraces ranging from 1,449 to over 1,500 square feet, these penthouses offer an unparalleled sense of space and luxury.
Monthly HOA fees range from $1,700 to $2,000, covering amenities such as cable TV, ground maintenance, insurance, pest control, trash removal, and water/sewer services. Each unit comes with at least one deeded garage space, with some penthouses offering two private garage units, a coveted feature in beachfront living.
Resort-inspired amenities for year-round enjoyment
La Riva Resort Condos offers a comprehensive suite of amenities designed to enhance the luxury beachfront lifestyle. The centerpiece is the Gulf-front pool and hot tub, providing a perfect spot for relaxation with stunning ocean views. For year-round swimming, residents can enjoy the heated indoor pool, ideal for cooler days or evening dips.
Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the fully-equipped fitness center, complemented by a sauna and steam room for post-workout relaxation. These facilities, located on the building's mezzanine level, offer a private retreat for residents to maintain their health and wellness routines.
The building's security features include gated entry, ensuring privacy and peace of mind for residents. Each unit in the Center Tower has its own private elevator lobby, adding an extra layer of exclusivity and convenience.
La Riva's attention to detail extends to the individual units, which come equipped with high-end appliances, including dishwashers, microwaves, and stainless steel kitchen suites. Climate control is ensured through efficient heating systems and ceiling fans, allowing residents to maintain perfect comfort year-round.
For those who enjoy outdoor living, each unit features a spacious balcony, perfect for taking in the breathtaking Gulf views or enjoying al fresco dining. The building's location on 520 feet of uncrowded, white-sand beaches provides residents with their own slice of paradise, ensuring a serene and exclusive beachfront experience.
A tranquil coastal paradise with vibrant nearby attractions
La Riva Resort Condos is situated in the heart of Perdido Key, a 16-mile-long barrier island known for its stunning natural beauty and laid-back coastal lifestyle. With an average temperature of 75 degrees, the area offers year-round outdoor enjoyment and is home to diverse wildlife, including nesting sea turtles.
Perdido Key State Park, just a short 5-minute drive away, showcases the area's natural splendor with its rolling dunes and white sand beaches spanning nearly 250 acres. Nature enthusiasts can explore the park's boardwalks, observing local wildlife such as pelicans, dolphins, and the rare Perdido Key beach mouse.
For golf aficionados, the Lost Key Golf Club, a public championship course and the first in Florida to be designated an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary, is nearby. The course offers not only challenging play but also extraordinary Gulf views.
Dining options in the area cater to various tastes, with a focus on fresh seafood. The Jellyfish, less than a mile away, has been a local favorite for nearly two decades, offering an eclectic menu of sushi, steaks, and seafood. For a more casual dining experience with waterfront views, the Sunset Grille at Holiday Harbor Marina is an excellent choice, known for its grouper Reuben and family-friendly atmosphere.
Shopping needs are conveniently met at nearby plazas such as Perdido Point Plaza, just 2 miles away. For more extensive shopping trips, residents often venture to Pensacola, about 17 miles away, which offers a wider range of retail options.
The area's most famous attraction, the Flora-Bama, is within easy reach. This world-renowned beach bar, straddling the Florida-Alabama state line, hosts live music events and unique celebrations throughout the year, including the quirky Annual Interstate Mullet Toss.
While Perdido Key maintains its tranquil, less-developed charm compared to other beach towns, it still provides easy access to urban amenities. The absence of typical beach town attractions like putt-putt golf and waterslides contributes to the area's relaxed, natural ambiance, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a quieter coastal lifestyle.
Scenic drives and convenient access to regional hubs
Transportation in Perdido Key centers primarily around personal vehicles, reflecting the area's spacious, coastal layout. The island is connected to the mainland by Florida State Route 292, providing a scenic drive along the coast and easy access to nearby amenities.
For residents and visitors of La Riva Resort Condos, the convenience of deeded garage parking spaces is a significant advantage, ensuring secure and accessible vehicle storage. This feature is particularly valuable given the car-dependent nature of the area.
While the area's layout is more suited to driving, there are opportunities for leisurely biking along the coastal roads, offering a pleasant way to explore the immediate vicinity and enjoy the Gulf views. However, for most daily activities and longer trips, a car is the preferred mode of transportation.
Pensacola, the nearest urban center, is approximately 17 miles away, or about a 30-minute drive. This proximity allows La Riva residents to easily access a wider range of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences while maintaining their serene beachfront lifestyle.
For air travel, Pensacola International Airport is about a 40-minute drive from La Riva, providing convenient access to domestic and international flights. This relatively short distance to a major airport enhances the area's accessibility, allowing residents to balance their tranquil coastal living with the ability to travel efficiently when needed.
While public transportation options are limited in Perdido Key itself, the area's road infrastructure and the condominium's provision of private parking make it easy for residents to navigate both their immediate surroundings and venture further afield when desired. The emphasis on private transportation aligns well with the luxury and privacy that La Riva Resort Condos offers its residents.
