The Tuscan-themed celebration featured the culinary flavors of Toscana tradition, libations and live entertainment. Guests enjoyed tours of the Residents Club and the community’s newly built decorated model homes. Sponsors of the event included Ameris Bank, England-Thims & Miller, Inc., Kohler, Environmental Resource Solutions, Boral Roofing, A.J.

Tamaya’s new grand entrance fronting Beach Boulevard leads to a two-story gatehouse welcoming residents and guests to the community. The Residents Club was designed by the architectural firm Ervin Lovett Miller (ELM) with interior design services provided by Ansana Interior Design of Orlando. The two firms previously worked together on the design of the Residents Club at Amelia National Golf and Country Club, an ICI Homes community in Fernandina Beach.

The Residents Club has been designed as a welcoming hub for entertainment and gatherings as well as a place for fitness, wellness and relaxation. The 10,000-square-foot Residents Club is located along a lake inside the main gates of the community. Designed to reflect Tamaya’s Mediterranean influences, the Residents Club exudes a casual elegance with contemporary Renaissance style. It features a neutral color palette with striking blue accents, clean lines, wood flooring and luxurious features and finishes.

The Residents Club has several social spaces including a spacious great room with catering kitchen, a clubroom, a covered porch and an outdoor patio. It offers two pools, a cabana and nearly 5,000-square-feet of fitness space. The step-down pool area features a tower slide, a bathhouse and plenty of seating around the competition pool and zero-entry family pool. The competition pool includes lap-lane areas for swim workouts. An outdoor palm court bar area allows for relaxing around the pool, enjoying events and features a spa garden. Tamaya has multi-purpose paths for walking, jogging and biking and a tennis center.

The fitness center is staffed by professionals trained in disciplines such as yoga, pilates and barre. The community lifestyle director plans activities and events for residents.

“The Residents Club is the perfect place for families to gather and enjoy the community’s lifestyle,” said Don Wilford, Northeast Florida Division President of ICI Homes. “Tamaya is a one-of-a-kind community and a special place to call home. Our residents enjoy wonderful surroundings. I encourage everyone to visit and experience all we offer at Tamaya.”
