Villas in Miami

This chicest of cities oozes urban glamour, a heady mix of old-world elegance and modern day opulence. Embrace the sixties spirit in a vintage Cadillac, winding through wide palm-lined boulevards, down Ocean Drive’s sparkling pastel promenade.

Head to South Beach, the heart of the party scene, home of south Floridian flamboyance. Bathed in sunlight by day and neon by night, this exclusive enclave abounds with trendy clubs, upmarket boutiques lining Collins Avenue and swanky restaurants in which to linger over a long lunch. Against this all, you’ll find the finest flank of white-sand shore, a sensational juxtaposition of turquoise waters against shimmering skyscrapers.

For a welcome respite from Miami’s frenetic pace, retreat to your sprawling villa on exclusive Palm Island. Moor your boat on the private dock, catch some sun on the floating deck or escape the Miami heat in the 130-foot pool, complete with grotto and waterfall, of course. Soak up all of South Beach’s signature style, but from a more forgiving distance.
