When you’re looking to buy just the right luxury condo, your vision likely includes high-end amenities that would help to enhance your life. Not everyone desires the exact same amenities—defined as a “desirable or useful feature or facility of a building or place”—or prioritizes them in precisely the same way. What matters is what appeals specifically to you as you seek your high-end condo. To help, here are some of the most sought after amenities in luxury dwellings along with a real-time listing of Amelia Island condos for sale.  

If one or more of these condos for sale on Amelia Island capture your attention, please reach out for a private showing. Or you could browse through this list of delightful amenities, noting which ones you’ll want in your condo of choice. 

#1 In-Demand Health, Fitness, and Wellness Centers

This is often one of the first amenities that people think about when envisioning a luxury condo, one that allows them to enjoy a fitness center from the comforts of home. In other words, you don’t have to search out a membership elsewhere—and the centers embedded within high-end condos typically contain state of the art equipment in a well-designed, spacious area. They may also contain saunas, hot tubs, and spas along with refreshing and healthy ways to rehydrate. The center may also include indoor pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, golf simulators, putting greens, and other desirable amenities. 

#2 Splendid Outdoor Swimming Pools

Swimming pools allow for the entire spectrum of leisure-time experiences: from relaxing poolside with a cool drink by sparkling waters where you can take a refreshing dip when temperatures rise to a place for healthy and enjoyable exercise. So, pools are indeed in-demand inclusions in a list of luxury condo amenities. The size, structure, and placement of pools can vary based upon the age groups being served and other demographics, ranging from kiddie pools to heated lap pools, steam rooms, and so forth. Pools are often surrounded by stunning landscaping with classy changing rooms, enticing snack stations, bars, and more.

#3 Spacious Outdoor Amenities

When choosing a luxury condo, many of the features you’ll want and need focus upon the condo’s inside: the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, for example, the size of the kitchen, the heights of the ceilings, the design of the crown molding, and so forth. But the best of the amenities also offer ways to indulge yourself outside of the condo and allow you to enjoy the gorgeous weather. These can range from rooftop decks with amazing gardens to outdoor lounging areas, green spaces, and more.

#4 Spectrum of Engaging Activities

Although the first three amenities focus upon the availability of certain physical spaces, high-quality experiences are also a key component of luxury living. So, people living in high-end condos can often enjoy yoga and Pilates classes, culinary lessons, wine tastings, in-demand concerts and movies, and more in their own community. Sure, you can choose to participate in these elsewhere, but it’s wonderful to decide whether you want to travel to enjoy them or stay cozily at home.

#5 Security-Focused Amenities

To ensure residents’ security, luxury condos may be within a gated community with top-rated  surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and alarms. Additionally, there may be a security expert stationed at the door, 24/7—someone who recognizes and warmly greets condo owners while watching for any security concerns and being available when help is required. Security amenities may also include resident-only access to elevators and common areas as well as secured parking.

At a personal privacy level, a condo may contain a safe room that’s built with the strongest materials available and contains what you’d need inside of it if an emergency, including a natural disaster, occurs.

#6 Protection of Your Privacy

Besides security features that protect residents and their guests, luxury condos focus upon providing privacy for residents that starts with how they’re zoned and strategically designed, spatially, to accomplish this goal. Inside the condo, soundproofing technologies can further enhance the sense of privacy.

Additional features can range from privacy fences around the outdoor pools to well thought out and placed landscaping that surrounds outdoor lounges to block views. Pool houses and other outbuildings are constructed with the ultimate privacy in mind and, inside the outbuildings, furniture, window coverings, and more are carefully chosen for an intimate, private ambiance. 

#7 Smart Living: Live More Effortless 

From automated lighting to automated temperature control, smart features that are already built into your luxury condo make it more effortless to reside in: more enjoyable and secure. Perhaps the condominium you’ll choose will have an automated irrigation system that will keep the green spaces looking lushly beautiful. 

When choosing your home appliances, you can select smart ovens that allow you to manage temperature controls from somewhere else and smart refrigerators that let you know when you’ll need to replenish ice or when the door is open. You can even have your smart home appliances “talk” to one another through technological connections. 

On a related matter, luxury condos may have the car-charging stations you need for your electric vehicles.

#8 In-Condo Amenities of Choice

Most of these amenities so far refer to ones in common areas or in outdoor spaces available for the group of condo residents. There are, of course, plenty of amenities that you’ll want inside your condo area besides the smart technologies referenced above.

You may not, at first, consider the first of these to be an amenity, but it is. We’re referring to an open floor plan. This allows for ease of movement during daily life as well as when you entertain guests and host parties. Open floor plans also allow in more light, reducing the amount of electricity needed and adding a lovely ambiance to the condo.

Another example of an in-condo amenity: a spa bathroom where you can soak away the stresses of the day and just relax. We’ve provided plenty of tips for spa bathroom designs for the ultimate in self-care. You may want to have a private exercise room in your condo to supplement the one available to condo residents—or a game room, a personal library, and so on.

Choosing the Luxury Condo of Your Dreams

Possibilities for your high-end condo are deep and wide and, as you brainstorm what you’d like most, be sure to check back to see what new Amelia Island condos for sale we’ve listed. When you’re looking for the luxury condo that meets all of your needs and as many of your wants as possible, here are two starting points to consider. 

As one approach, you could begin by creating a list of your must-haves, such as the number of bedrooms and of bathrooms, the size of the overall condo, the size of the kitchen, and so forth along with amenities that are really important to you; perhaps an outdoor swimming pool and excellent security and privacy are at the top of your life. Then, you could look at the beautiful communities in Amelia Island—each with its own unique environment—and determine which ones have the location and vibe that you really appreciate. At this point, we’d invite you to reach out to one of our knowledgeable and passionate real estate agents, sharing this information with us. Then, we’ll show you high-end condos that dovetail with your lists.

As a second approach, you could start by looking at the incredible neighborhoods in Amelia Island. For example, let’s say that Beach Walker—an ideal location for nature lovers, golfers, and people who enjoy sports—is calling your name. You could then check our condos for sale on Amelia Island to see which ones mesh with your desires for amenities and more. At the time of writing, one condo in the Beach Walker neighborhood comes with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms in approximately 1,500 square feet of space with views of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.

If, instead, Turtle Dunes Villas have captured your attention, when this post was written, a 1,300 square foot, two bedroom, two bathroom condo that’s located on the ground floor offered unmatched convenience with direct access to the outdoors and gorgeous beach.

These are just examples. What truly matters: your desires and which of the Amelia Island condos for sale are available when you’re ready to buy—and, when that time arrives, we’d love to help!
