Fisher Island is equally exclusive & private. At the heart of this exquisite tropical retreat is the incomparable Fisher Island Club. This Miami Beach resort alternative and luxury country club offers members and guests the finest residential and recreational amenities to be found anywhere in the world.
The original Vanderbilt Mansion now serves as the landmark centerpiece of the 15 luxury accommodations. The original property is composed of the mansion, pumphouse / Beach Club tower, Rosamund's Studio, Rosemary's Cottage, North & South Cottages, Guesthouse Suites, Vanderbilt Theater, and the airplane hangar (now Spa Internazionale).
In the summer of 2013, the Rebirth of Fisher Island was completed and included a thoughtful restoration and renovation of the Vanderbilt mansion, hotel accommodations, golf course, tennis center, spa, beach club, and private marinas. The goal of the restoration initiative was to bring the iconic landmark up to the demanding standards of today’s discriminating residents, members, and guests. Today’s Fisher Island is equally exclusive and private and represents the wealthiest zip code in the U.S.
