Bel Mare at Riviera Dunes is a gated waterfront condominium community on the Manatee River in Palmetto, Manatee County, completed in 2007. It consists of two 15-story towers developed by Corvus International, an out-of-state developer that reported allocating roughly 130 million dollars to the project (Homes.com and area brokerage building profiles, 2026). Confirm the exact unit count, tower, and floor per listing.
The community sits inside the larger Riviera Dunes master plan, which is built around a man-made deep-water harbor that the developer markets as one of the largest hurricane-protected harbors in the state, with the Riviera Dunes Marina offering boat slips that range widely in length at an average depth around 18 feet (Riviera Dunes and marina sources, 2026). For boat owners, that deep-water access is the central draw.
Amenities reported for Bel Mare include heated pools with grills, a fitness center, tennis, a billiards room, and a lounge with a kitchen, behind a gated entry. As with any high-rise condo, amenities, fees, and rules are set by the association and should be confirmed in the current condo documents.
The pitch is waterfront high-rise living with marina access on the Manatee River. The work is reading the building, not just the unit: the flood zone, the windstorm and flood insurance, the milestone inspection status, and the structural-integrity reserve study all shape your true cost and have to be verified before you buy.
