Serenity Beach Retreats is on a mission to help women reach the healing they are searching for, to assure them it is possible, and to provide encouragement that the opportunity for a bright future is ahead.

We care deeply about the pain, and the stories surrounding the pain, of each person who walks through the doors of our retreat. We have personal experience with the grief that comes from loss, sickness, the past, betrayal, and more.

We believe women carry an amazing responsibility of influence and impact in our communities, families, friendships, and workplaces. And we believe that the best gift you can give to yourself is healing.

Day in Paradise!

LIFE DEFINED

Life in Alys Beach is a balance of luxury in simplicity and grace, a harmony between the natural environment and the designed, a movement of legacy built as much on time well-spent together as it is on the investment in a beautifully, sustainably built town.

Alys Beach fosters an elevated community experience through an extensive and exquisitely crafted events program and a gracious amenity collection: ZUMA Wellness Center, Caliza Restaurant & Pool, the pristine Gulf of Mexico beachfront with recreation and food & beverage delivery services, the Nature Preserve and trail, pocket park and pedestrian paths, and the owner-exclusive Beach Club.

A broader community of guests is embraced through public Signature Events such as Digital Graffiti, Alys Beach Crafted, and expansive seasonal events, as well as by the Merchants of Alys Beach who invite guests to shop and dine while enjoying the architecture, design, and functional beauty of Town Center, the Alys Beach Amphitheatre, and our captivating stretch of the Scenic Highway 30A corridor.

New homeownership opportunities continue to unveil in limited, phased releases, and the Alys Beach Sales team are the preeminent authorities on new and resale residences and homesites.

MAKING MEMORIES O N T H E WAT E R f o r 2 3 Y E A R S !

We believe that boating is more than a hobby or a sport.

Boating is a lifestyle; it’s a stress-reliever; most importantly, it’s a way to create unforgettable memories with those you love.

Since we opened in 2001, that’s what we’ve been about: providing our customers with a vessel for making lifelong memories.

DESTIN CHARITY WINE AUCTION FOUNDATION

RAISE YOUR PADDLE! RAISE YOUR GLASS! The mission of Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation is to connect wine enthusiasts to raise money benefiting children in need in Northwest Florida. Since our inception in 2005, we have donated more than $35 million to Northwest Florida charities by hosting world-class wine and culinary events.

These funds have impacted the lives of over 100,000 youth, including those afflicted by health issues and abuse. The annual Destin Charity Wine Auction has been recognized as one of the nation’s ‘Top Charity Wine Auctions in the U.S.’ by Wine Spectator for more than a decade.

“We are changing the lives of children. What cannot be overstated is the impact the funds we raise have on our supported charities,” said Karah Fridley-Young, DCWAF President.
