Take a Sneak Peek of Alys Beach’s New “Caliza Pool”

Alys Beach, Florida – (October 2, 2007) – Locals and guests are invited to enjoy a sneak peek of the spectacular new “Caliza Pool” in Alys Beach on Saturday, October 20, 2007. The special preview event will feature walking tours of the town’s new amenity, as well as three beautiful new homes and the new “Resource Center”—an interactive state-of-the-art exhibit.

“As we build our town, we’re pushing the envelope in every conceivable way,” said Jason Comer, Alys Beach’s Town Founder. “Our vision for Caliza was to create one of the most beautiful pools in the world, and I believe that we’ve set an incredible new standard—not only for Alys Beach, but for resorts everywhere.”

Caliza Pool’s dramatic design is in the timeless tradition of the Greek agora and the Roman piazza. Caliza (Spanish for “limestone”) features a 50’x100’ saltwater pool, a separate family pool, a 75-foot lap pool, a spa whirlpool and numerous secluded outdoor living areas flanked with tropical palms and gardens. Exquisite architecture is punctuated with arched colonnades, private cabanas, fountains, lush landscaping and views of the Gulf of Mexico.

The event will feature live entertainment and will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 20, 2007. This special Caliza Pool preview event and home tour is open to the public. For more information, please call toll-free 1-866-481-8387.

ABOUT ALYS BEACH
A beautiful new resort town located on Florida's Scenic Highway 30A, Alys Beach is the world’s most extraordinary example of New Urbanism, a method of town planning recognized by The New York Times as “the most important collective architectural movement in the past fifty years.”

Master planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ), Alys Beach’s stunning architectural vision drew inspirations from both the islands of Bermuda and the family courtyard homes of Antigua, Guatemala. Alys Beach features 1,500 feet of sugar-white beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, and when complete, the 158-acre resort town will be home to over 600 villas, rowhouses, courtyard homes and family compound retreats.

“Alys Beach may well be the most truly innovative community under construction in the United States today,” said Andrés Duany of DPZ, designers of over 300 new towns and revitalization projects around the world. “Alys Beach will eventually be imitated everywhere, I am certain.”

I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the pool a few weeks ago, and it is truely amazing. The details are incredible and everything is top quality. It is nothing like any other pool around here. It feels like you've been transported to the best resort in the Mediterranean area. Take this chance to see it for yourself!

Is Alys Beach trying to privatize 1500 feet of public Walton county beaches? Why all the guards parked day and night?

Does this lovely pool have adequate wheelchair access? I didn't see it, maybe it's so artfully and integrally designed that I missed it. Just wondering...

They did a great job of making the entire pool complex including the upper level open air deck area wheel chair accessible, but I didn't see a ramp/handrail to assist someone in a wheel chair in & out of the pool or spa.

Usually they are hydralic at these types of pools with a removable chair that can be put in place to lower and raise a wheelchair bound indiciual into the water. You wouldn't even notice it-just to small holes next to the pool which the assembly slides up and down in.
