The Wave Resort’s latest renovation introduces a palette of vibrant pastels and incorporates natural elements, elevating the chic aesthetics and coastal appeal. The reinvented spaces not only invite visitors to indulge in unforgettable experiences but also serve as picturesque backdrops, ensuring lasting memories of The Wave Resort’s newly founded ambiance and serene design.
On Memorial Day weekend back in 2019, Nicole Kushner Meyer, principal of the New York-based Kushner real estate development group, kicked things off with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the six-story, 67-room Wave Resort.
The Wave Resort is one of three Kushner-owned hotels at Long Branch’s beachfront, according to the Asbury Park Press. The others are The Bungalow, a 24-room boutique hotel and the 102-room Onada Surf Club. Due to the major role played by Kushner Cos in development on the Jersey Shore, Pier Village has become a popular destination for luxury oriented vacationers and beach goers from around the world.
On Memorial Day weekend back in 2019, Nicole Kushner Meyer, principal of the New York-based Kushner real estate development group, kicked things off with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the six-story, 67-room Wave Resort.
Kushner, the sister of former White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner said that those involved in the project were “focused on developing Pier Village into a year-round Town Center for Long Branch.” Her father, Charles Kushner, formerly owned a home in the area.
Construction of the boutique hotel at Pier Village began in January 2018. The project also features 245 high-end condos called The Lofts, which carry a price tag ranging from $569,000 to $2.4 million.
Wave Resort’s rooms were designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA). Each room is configured to provide views of the Atlantic Ocean from terraces and through floor-to-ceiling, wall-to wall windows. Blackened wood finishes and rope details were integrated throughout, according to Hotel Management Magazine.
“Upon entering the living room-style lobby, eyes will immediately be drawn to a bespoke, gallery-worthy concrete reception desk,” is how Hospitality Design described it. “Framed vistas juxtaposed with natural, warm raw materials; color-blocked, dusty, sunset-toned fabrics; and crisp graphic designs make for an interactive and inviting foyer space that is perfect for relaxing with a cocktail or playing pool with friends. Each restaurant and bar, from the boardwalk café to the richly toned brasserie-style fine dining room to the second-floor pool deck, serve as a collection of communal lounging spaces that seamlessly transition from work to play throughout the day.”
Its seven food and beverage outlets include seasonal fine dining seafood and coastal casual restaurants; a boardwalk coffee shop; swim-up pool bar; and a hybrid burger-and-taco shop. The dining venues were influenced by Pier Village’s boardwalk.
The founder and principal designer of the eponymously named Ovadia Design Group, Jack Ovadia, described his inspirations for the design concept at the heart of the renovations of the Wave Resort.

“Visiting the shore over the summer my entire life, I wanted to give summer escapists a retreat – a space where they could experience the essence of summer: it’s vibrancy, breeziness, and joy of the seaside,” explained Mr. Ovadia.
Mr. Ovadia added that, “Immersing ourselves in the vibrant community of Pier Village, our team meticulously studied how visitors and residents interact with the locale. It became evident that there was a need for a refined setting where adults could unwind, whether catching up on work during the day or winding down with a nightcap after dinner. “The Bar” embodies this vision.”
With a palpable enthusiasm in his voice, Mr. Ovadia said, “Our goal was to bring a unique sense of Miami to the Jersey Shore, intertwining a vibrant palette and a timeless allure that embodies this elevated coastal style.”
He added that “Our concept was to evoke the Jersey Shore with a Miami-inspired ambiance, seamlessly blending a lively color palette with timeless charm to capture this elevated coastal style. At our core, we’re not just about design; we’re about creating unforgettable experiences”.
