In Miami real estate, true luxury isn't measured in superlatives. It's experienced. At Vita at Grove Isle, this philosophy takes tangible form at La Sponda, a waterfront restaurant designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, set to open in 2026.
Many luxury developments include a tennis court or two to check a box in their amenity package. Vita at Grove Isle takes it a level above, operating eight expertly crafted tennis courts that ensure excellent ball control and optimal playability, with professional-grade lighting ideal for night sessions
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has been growing rare plants in Coral Gables since 1938, back when Miami was more swamp than skyline. The 83-acre site now houses collections that most countries would envy—500 palm species, the largest tropical bamboo collection, and a rainforest exhibit where ultra-pure water creates the exact humidity conditions needed for plants that refuse to grow anywhere else in Florida.
Morning light spills across your terrace at Vita at Grove Isle, where the day begins with that particular quiet only islands know. Wake to discover that dolphins have been commuting past your bedroom windows, their daily patrol of the marina channel as reliable as any alarm clock. Grove Isle wakes with you, ringed by its horseshoe shoreline and angled perfectly to catch the sunrise like a private amphitheater at the edge of the sea.
"Gelato is the most beautiful invention in the world—after mother and father, brother and sister," the Italian poet Davide Rondoni declared in his "Ode al gelato," a sentiment that might initially strike the uninitiated as hyperbolic…until they find themselves dazzled by the display case of a gelateria, paralyzed by choice.
Miami's best seafood stories all start with water — the bay that laps Grove Isle's shores, the river where Garcia's family boats still unload their morning catch, the Atlantic swells that carry stone crabs to Joe's kitchen, the Coconut Grove marina where Sapore di Mare's owners first tasted the sailing crowd's appetite for proper Italian fish cookery.
