Disney has unveiled a new Disney immersive living experience in the picturesque Coachella Valley, California.
Discover the Magic of Cotino Bay: The First-Ever Disney Immersive Living Experience
This groundbreaking development is poised to redefine the concept of living and leisure, combining Disney’s signature creativity with the tranquility and natural beauty of the desert.
Cotino Bay, a vibrant new oasis, is designed to offer residents and visitors alike an unparalleled experience with “the clearest turquoise waters” made possible by the advanced Crystal Lagoons technology. This cutting-edge innovation ensures that the water remains pristine and inviting, setting the stage for an idyllic getaway. Whether you’re looking to take a refreshing swim, enjoy a serene paddleboarding session, or embark on a thrilling kayak adventure, Cotino Bay promises to be a haven for water enthusiasts.
Disney says Cotino Bay “will be available to residents through a voluntary membership at the Artisan Club, planned to open this fall, or to visitors through ticketed admission to Cotino Bay Beach in the town center, planned to open in 2026.” – @ScottGustin on X

For those lucky enough to call this magical community home, access to Cotino Bay and its surrounding beaches will be part of a luxurious membership offering. The Artisan Club, slated to open its doors this fall, will grant residents a chance to enjoy this picturesque waterway and its stunning shoreline. With exclusive facilities and experiences available, the Artisan Club will undoubtedly become a social hub within the community.
The commitment to luxury doesn’t stop at the bay—residents will enjoy access to a thoughtfully designed community where nature, comfort, and innovation seamlessly blend. The focus on creating a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle is evident in every corner of the development, ensuring that the residents’ connection to their surroundings is as close to nature as it is to the Disney magic that defines the brand.
Cotino Bay Beach: A Public Experience to Look Forward to
Though Cotino Bay offers exclusive access for residents, Disney is also keen to welcome visitors to this beautiful space. Starting in 2026, the Cotino Bay Beach, located in the heart of the town center, will open to the public with a ticketed admission system. This beach will serve as a destination for those looking to experience the crystal-clear waters and vibrant surroundings that make Cotino Bay so special.
The beach will be an integral part of the overall Storyliving by Disney experience, complementing the community’s commitment to creating spaces where people can come together and enjoy life’s simpler pleasures. The town center, opening alongside the beach, will offer a curated selection of local and regional restaurants and shops that reflect the unique cultural blend of the Coachella Valley. Visitors will also be able to explore an open-air artist market, adding an artistic touch to the already scenic surroundings.
Parr House: A Home Inspired by Disney’s Incredibles
This fall, the Incredibles-inspired Parr House will open its doors, giving residents and visitors a chance to experience a stunning, thematic home that brings the magic of Disney’s superhero family to life. The house is designed with the iconic aesthetic of the Parr family in mind, offering an immersive and fun home design that will delight Disney fans and architecture enthusiasts alike.
Alongside the Parr House, the development has also recently opened new model homes by the highly regarded Woodbridge Pacific Group and Davidson Communities. These homes offer prospective buyers a chance to envision their future in the Storyliving by Disney community and see firsthand the quality and style that define the living experience at Cotino Bay.
The Storyliving by Disney concept represents a bold new direction for the company, shifting from its traditional theme park-based experiences to creating fully immersive living environments. By blending Disney’s signature storytelling with real-world living spaces, Disney is creating a community where residents can experience the same magic that has captivated visitors to Disney parks for generations. From exclusive water activities at Cotino Bay to the carefully designed homes and town center amenities, every aspect of this new community is designed to offer a unique and enriching lifestyle.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for This Disney Immersive Living Experience?
The future of Storyliving by Disney holds exciting possibilities. With Cotino Bay and its surrounding developments still in their early stages, there’s much more to look forward to. Disney’s ongoing commitment to integrating innovation, creativity, and community-building into every element of the project promises a future filled with new opportunities for both residents and visitors.
Whether you’re interested in living in this magical community or simply want to experience the unique offerings of Cotino Bay Beach and the town center, Disney’s Storyliving development is set to be a game-changer in the world of immersive living.
