Many of the world’s richest and most famous denizens live in these secluded and prestigious islands, enjoying the highest standard of living imaginable. The following Miami Beach islands represent the pinnacle of luxury.
Star Island
Star Island is one of the best known luxury communities in all of Miami Beach, accessible only by a single guard-gated road from the MacArthur Expressway. Its name reflects the high number of celebrities who have called it home, including Shaquille O’Neal, Rosie O’Donnell, Gloria Estefan, P. Diddy, Kanye West, and Paulina Rubio.
As to be expected, Star Island homes unparalleled in their beauty, size, and majesty. Every residence is large and superbly designed, each bearing unique features, amenities, and architectural styles. All properties have expansive lots that allow for both privacy and the opportunity to enjoy the year-round warm weather. Every home is directly adjacent to the bay as well, which allows for an unbeatable view of Miami’s gorgeous skyline, bay, and islands. The following homes, all located on Star Island Drive, are some of the most exemplary properties available.
Hibiscus Island and Palm Island
The Hibiscus and Palm Islands are located near Star Island and lie directly adjacent to each other. Like Star Island, they’re known worldwide for their exclusivity and luxury, with a varied selection of magnificent mansions. They’re each accessible only by a single two-lane road that runs through them via the MacArthur Expressway, meaning they’re also safe and secluded.
The homes in Hibiscus and Palm Island represent the most cutting edge and majestic designs in architecture. Just about every style is represented, ranging from Art Deco and Miami Modernism to Mediterranean and Italian Villa. Some properties date from the 1930s, while others were built only a few years ago. Indeed, no two homes are exactly alike, with each offering their own array of unique and custom features. This unique selection of exotic-looking properties also creates a beautiful and serene atmosphere that few communities can rival. Adding to this exquisite aesthetic are large and well-manicured lots that surround each property, providing an environment ideal for relaxing and hosting events.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that all three of these islands are located between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, meaning you’ll be in close proximity to some of the finest dinning, entertainment, and shopping in the world. With their privacy, beauty, and accessibility to the world-class amenities, life in any one of these island paradises is sure to be as good as it gets.
