In 1925, William Vanderbilt created a splendid winter estate on a 216 acre island just off the coast of gleaming Miami and Miami Beach. He called it Fisher Island. Today, it has been restored to its former grandeur as the luxurious Fisher Island Club, with the finest recreational amenities and accommodations to be found anywhere. From its lovely tile-roofed Vanderbilt Mansion, its charming oceanside beach club and intimate restaurants, gracious cottages and guest houses, deep water marinas, one mile of sugar soft beach, oceanfront golf course, tennis center with clay, grass and hard courts, and Spa Internazionale, the Fisher Island Club easily qualifies to win Vogue Magazine's prize for splendid isolation.
