More About Palazzo del Mar:
Welcome to Palazzo del Mar, a true legacy estate in Destin's most exclusive beachfront enclave. Located in the Shores of Crystal Beach, this private, gated property offers more than 13,000 square feet of refined indoor living and four expansive outdoor terraces with panoramic views of the Emerald Coast.
Designed for travelers seeking grandeur and ease, Palazzo del Mar offers 12 bedrooms, 11 full and 3 half baths, and a separate 3-bedroom guest cottage—each space crafted to deliver elevated comfort, privacy, and style.
Inside, the home's chef-grade kitchen is equipped with premium appliances and a spacious layout ideal for entertaining or private chef service that can be coordinated by request. Elegant finishes like marble fireplaces*, custom stonework, and lighted tray ceilings are complemented by designer furnishings that elevate every gathering, from cocktail hour to game night.
Guests enjoy a resort-level experience with a beachfront pool and spa, full theater, and arcade lounge complete with billiards, poker, and vintage-style games. Four Gulf-facing terraces—wrapped in Brazilian stone—offer spectacular sunrise-to-sunset views, perfect for al fresco dining or simply relaxing to the sound of the waves.
The detached guest cottage features its own full kitchen with Viking and Subzero appliances, luxe living spaces, and breathtaking Gulf views—ideal for extended family or added privacy.
To complete the experience, a dedicated beach attendant (March–October) ensures your chairs are set and ready each day on your private stretch of sand.
At Palazzo del Mar, every detail is curated, every space is designed to impress, and every moment invites you to indulge in the pinnacle of beachfront luxury.
*Fireplaces are available for use during the cooler season, from October through April, and are turned off from May through September to ensure optimal climate control.
