Miami approaches the holidays as it does everything else: with spectacle, style, and flair. The city puts on the best version of itself, fully committed to a season of champagne, lights, and orchestrated charm. Vita at Grove Isle — a boutique development on a private island one bridge from Coconut Grove, complete with concierge services and marina access — positions residents close enough for effortless participation yet far enough to leave and enjoy peace and quiet when the bustle of all that merrymaking begins to wear a little thin.
The residents of Vita at Grove Isle, a 65-home bayfront development on a 20-acre private island off of Coconut Grove, enjoy views, pools, tennis courts, a marina, and enough seclusion to forget they're just minutes from the mainland. What they may not enjoy is spending Thanksgiving Day — even in kitchens outfitted with Molteni cabinetry and full Miele suites — basting, stirring, and timing side dishes. Fortunately, three excellent Grove restaurants are near enough to count as local, and each has put together a holiday menu that makes dining out look like the smarter move.
Vita at Grove Isle is set to deliver in late 2025, on a private island in Coconut Grove with 65 residences, modern engineering, and a timeline that puts it at the head of Miami's luxury pipeline.
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.
