Rate Fisher Island Hotel & Resort
The former Vanderbilt estate on 
200-acre Fisher Island in Biscayne Bay has been transformed into an exclusive, mostly residential retreat more Portofino than Miami. Those who merely want to experience the island before shelling out seven figures for a condo can book one of the 60 posh suites or villas and tool around the island on a golf cart.
A world of its own, Fisher Island encompasses a 9-hole P.B. Dye golf course, one of the country's most beautifully designed tennis centers (with hard, clay, and grass courts), an elegant spa, and state-of-the-art fitness center overlooking the bay from the Vanderbilt's former seaplane hangar. There is also a beach, marina, several restaurants, and even a small grocery and a pizzeria. Nothing in Miami comes close, but it won't work for those who find it unbearably inconvenient to hop a car ferry or boat every time they want to ogle the parade of models, actors, and wannabes from a table at the trendy News Cafe or gorge on succulent crustaceans at Joe's Stone Crab.
Beach. The island has a small, postage-stamp of a beach.
Golf Courses. There is one P.B. Dye golf course on the island.
If you like Fisher Island's elegant lodging and multiple dimensions, also check out:
