LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort recently announced Après Sea, an exclusive, seasonal partnership with Draper James, founded by Reese Witherspoon, and POLYWOOD, the leader in sustainable outdoor living, through Oct. 25.
“At LaPlaya, we believe that lasting memories are built in moments of genuine connection,” said Marina Serret, area director of Sales and Marketing, LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort. “This partnership with both Draper James and POLYWOOD reflects that philosophy. We’re confident that the spaces we’ve created are more than just places where our guests will relax in style; they’re where guests pause to reflect on the day’s treasured moments.”
LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort offers distinct areas of gathering: The Gulf Lawn, featuring the Draper James by POLYWOOD Savannah 3-Piece Rocking Chair Sets, Savannah 4-Piece Deep Seating Sets with Sofa and the Savannah Kids 5-Piece Dining Sets, is complete with branded food and beverage service available 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday
SpaTerre Veranda is accessorized with hydrangeas and showcases POLYWOOD’s Savannah 3-Piece Rocking Chair Sets and Savannah 4-Piece Deep Seating Set with Loveseat, with the space inspired by the Tea Forté x Draper James collection’s Lemon Sunshine tea, with artisanal iced pours of the tea available at select times. At SpaTerre, Lemon Sunshine wellness treatments include a facial, massage and soaking tub experience.
“The most meaningful partnerships enable a brand to move beyond product and create experiences that people remember fondly,” said Jeannie Yoo, CEO, Draper James. “Our collaboration with POLYWOOD reflects a shared appreciation for sustainability, craftsmanship, and inviting spaces where people want to gather. Bringing that ethos to life through Après Sea at LaPlaya extends the Draper James lifestyle beyond the home and into an immersive hospitality experience. It’s a natural expression of our brand values and our commitment to creating moments rooted in warmth, connection, and Southern hospitality.”
Backed by a 20-year lumber warranty, the Draper James by POLYWOOD collection is a line of sustainably crafted outdoor furnishings that blend Draper James’ signature cheerful aesthetic with POLYWOOD’s commitment to comfort, durability and American-made excellence using proprietary, all-weather lumber. Each piece of outdoor furniture features POLYWOOD’s Solidcore durability and ClimateTuff materials, ensuring no fading, splintering, rot, cracking, chipping or peeling while remaining year-round, outdoor-ready and easy to maintain. Available in 13 colors across three finishes with 42 performance fabric options, the Draper James by POLYWOOD collection offers classic styles across dining, deep seating, front porch, chaise lounges and kids’ furniture.
“The Draper James by POLYWOOD collection was designed to bring together timeless Southern style and enduring outdoor performance, making LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort an ideal setting to bring that vision to life,” said Scott Miller, SVP of Commercial & Hospitality Sales, POLYWOOD. “With our shared appreciation for quality, hospitality, and creating welcoming outdoor spaces, our furnishings are a natural complement to LaPlaya’s coastal luxury. Engineered to withstand intense sun, coastal rain, and the demands of high-traffic resort environments, POLYWOOD furniture delivers the lasting durability, comfort, and style that guests can experience during their stay—and enjoy in their own outdoor spaces for decades to come.”
To celebrate, Draper James will operate a pop-up shop at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort throughout the duration of the activation, offering guests the chance to shop exclusive finds within a curated summer collection hand-picked for this collaboration.
