LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort Unveils 'Après Sea' Experience

LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort has just revealed an exciting new initiative named 'Après Sea,' which marks a delightful collaboration with the renowned brand Draper James and the leading outdoor furniture provider POLYWOOD. This exclusive summer program runs from July 25 to October 25, aiming to celebrate the cherished moments post beach days.

The concept of 'Après Sea' embodies an immersive experience that brings to life a blend of refined coastal hospitality and the delightful Southern charm that both Draper James and POLYWOOD represent. This partnership not only highlights the aesthetic qualities of the Draper James by POLYWOOD collection but also encompasses a variety of wellness offerings, culinary delights, and thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage relaxation and leisure.

Marina Serret, the Area Director of Sales and Marketing at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, emphasized the resort's philosophy, stating, "At LaPlaya, we believe that lasting memories are built in moments of genuine connection. This partnership reflects that philosophy, as the spaces we've created are where guests can relax in style while reflecting on their day."

On-site at LaPlaya, the venue features diverse gathering areas. The Gulf Lawn, for instance, is designed for elevated social gatherings, featuring the luxurious Draper James by POLYWOOD Savannah 3-Piece Rocking Chair Sets and the Savannah 4-Piece Seating Sets. With a dedicated food and beverage service available throughout the day, guests can enjoy Southern-inspired bites and refreshing drinks while connecting with others against the stunning Gulf view backdrop.

In apparent homage to Draper James' signature style, the SpaTerre Veranda has been elegantly accessorized with hydrangeas and showcases POLYWOOD's Savannah 3-Piece and 4-Piece seating arrangements. Inspired by the Tea Forté x Draper James collection's Lemon Sunshine tea, the SpaTerre offers artisanal iced tea pours at select times along with unique wellness treatments including a facial, massage, and soaking experiences that evoke the essence of the refreshing citrus tea.

Scott Miller, Senior Vice President of Commercial Hospitality Sales at POLYWOOD, shared insights on the collaboration, noting, “The Draper James by POLYWOOD collection was designed to harmoniously blend Southern style with durable outdoor performance, making LaPlaya an ideal venue to bring this vision to fruition.” The partnership promises guests luxurious outdoor spaces engineered to withstand the coastal weather, ensuring they can enjoy the stylish designs both during their stay and in their own outdoor areas for years to come.

With a 20-year lumber warranty, the Draper James by POLYWOOD collection comprises sustainably crafted outdoor furnishings, featuring POLYWOOD's Solidcore™ and ClimateTuff™ materials. These designs are not only resistant to fading, splintering, and cracking but also come in a variety of colors and finishes.

Moreover, to amplify the partnership's bold debut, Draper James will operate a pop-up shop at the resort, offering a curated selection of exclusive summer items hand-picked for this special collaboration. Jeannie Yoo, CEO of Draper James, remarked, “The most meaningful partnerships allow a brand to transcend products and create memorable experiences.” This collaboration emphasizes sustainability, craftsmanship, and inviting spaces conducive to gatherings, seamlessly extending the Draper James lifestyle into a full-fledged hospitality experience.

The 'Après Sea' experience is set to ignite the summer nights at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, launching from July 25 through October 25, 2026. Guests are encouraged to reserve their spots and explore this unique offering at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort's website.
