The three are examples of a style of urban planning known as New Urbanism. The design vision of Alys Beach was based on Moorish and Mediterranean villages and the architectural styles of Bermuda.

Alys Beach's modern history began in the 1970s when the Stephens family purchased the 158-acre (64 ha) property at auction. The family had been vacationing in the area for many years and wanted to provide a permanent retreat for an extended family and their employees. Family patriarch Elton Stephens named the estate after his beloved, Alys Robinson Stephens (1910–1996).
