     Blend Miami's signature sun-drenched charm with the prestige of a private island and a sweeping array of condos, townhomes, and villas to grasp the essence of Williams Island, an exclusive 84-acre paradise in the heart of Aventura. 

    Often referred to as "The American Riviera," Williams Island, a masterpiece from The Trump Group in partnership with the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, is a sprawling gated enclave with a balmy tropical backdrop and a traditional country club lifestyle between Miami and Fort Lauderdale on the Intracoastal Waterway.

    Perched on an 84-acre parcel kissed by water on every side, it features an intimate collection of communities comprising 11 residential buildings, including Prive, a new modern skyscraper sitting on South Florida's last buildable island, with The Point Aventura at its north, the Island Boulevard and East Country Club Drive at its south, the open waters of Little Maule Lake in the east, and Dumfoundling Bay, a waterway separating Williams Island from mainland Aventura, at its western edges.

     It is home to approximately 3,656 residents as of the latest US Census. 

    With roots tracing back to the early 1980s, Williams Island emerged as one of the region's original luxury enclaves, sparked by the visionary discovery of The Trump Group. 

    Led by Eddie, Jules, and Stephanie Trump of South Africa, the team transformed a quiet peninsula shaded by Australian Pines into what would become South Florida's private island paradise, a thriving, ultra-lavish oasis with a family-centered environment and five-star amenities you can only find in the world's finest hotels and resorts.   

    Think of a cluster of high-rise buildings, each offering luxurious units with panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, and a Mediterranean-inspired village of townhomes and villas exuding European-inspired architecture and design, surrounded by an extensive suite of indulgences — this is Williams Island in its purest form. 

    Here, you'll enjoy access to everything essential and "non-essential" (or so some may think) services and facilities imaginable, including a massive spa and fitness center, a tennis center, a private marina, dining and social venues, playgrounds, and dog parks. 

     The catch? These curated experiences aren't the only perks Williams Island residents enjoy daily! 

    While this serene neighborhood is designed to feel private and exclusive, Williams Island is connected to mainland Aventura via Island Boulevard, a guarded roadway serving as its only vehicular entrance and exit for residents, invited guests, and authorized personnel. 

    Meanwhile, for residents and guests arriving by boat, the  Williams Island Marina  accommodates yachts up to 160 feet and is exclusive but open to select non-residents with membership. 

    So, if you're feeling blue, all by your lonesome on Williams Island (we doubt it, but it happens), you can always travel to the best of Aventura and Miami with minutes to spare! 

     Do you feel like indulging in an upscale excursion brimming with gigantic hauls, personal styling sessions, and maybe a valet-assisted checkout (or two)?  

    Around Williams Island, it's less about browsing and more about being personally escorted into world of labels, luxury, and limited editions, thanks to the iconic  Aventura Mall  , a multi-level haven of high fashion, designer boutiques, immersive art installations, and some of Miami's top dining spots — all wrapped into one stunning destination.

    For a more relaxed, open-air vibe, head to  Aventura Commons , your go-to for your favorite national retailers and the perfect shopping spot for everyday essentials or a midweek wardrobe refresh.

    And if you're after something curated but low-key,  The Esplanade at Aventura  (formerly Aventura Town Center) brings elevated lifestyle brands, beauty services, and health-conscious eats together in a breezy, boutique-style setting.

    For those into art, history, and culture, Williams Island is only minutes from hotspots that quietly tell the story of South Florida's evolution, where you'll have a front-row seat to the preserved architecture and cultural touchpoints that add unexpected depth to Miami's skyline.

    We're talking places like the Fulford-by-the-Sea Monument, a relic of a 1920s vision for grandeur that never fully materialized but still leaves its mark, or the  Ancient Spanish Monastery in nearby North Miami Beach, where centuries-old stone walls and cloistered gardens feel like they belong to another continent entirely.

    Then, if you want a pop of Magic City's cultural flair, there's  Aventura Arts & Cultural Center , a famous venue that brings theater, music, and community events to the water's edge. 

    Oh, speaking of activities, it's hard to overlook the perks of having  Tidal Cove Waterpark  just up the road, a choice Summer destination with thrilling water slides, a lazy river, private cabanas, and splash zones that make it a hit for families seeking spontaneous staycation vibes. 

    Just across the way,  Founders Park  offers green space, walking trails, sports courts, and regular community gatherings. 

    But if you prefer tee time over pool time, visit the  Golf Club at JW Marriott Turnberry Resort , a championship course with a luxe clubhouse and full-service experiences that turn a quick round into an all-day escape.

     And that's not all! 

    With Aventura's rare blend of tropical seclusion, natural beauty, and outdoor adventures, finding your dose of zen (or adrenaline, you decide!) is always possible on Williams Island.

    A morning paddle through the mangroves? Head to  Oleta River State Park !

    A shaded hike through one of Miami's historic grounds? Take the gang to  Greynolds Park !

    A peaceful moment with Mother Nature? Slow down time at  Veterans Park   or the   Don Soffer Exercise trail , a smooth, well-kept path wrapped around Aventura's scenic perimeter, where you can jog, stroll, or cycle amidst skyline views and subtropical breeze.

    Williams Island also boasts proximity to Sunny Isles Beach's oceanfront, North Miami's and North Miami Beach's suburban charm, and Bal Harbour's five-star elegance, so if you ever need to explore beyond the island bubble (not that you'll be in a rush), you're perfectly placed for it. 

    What more can you ask for?

    Living on a private peninsula in one of Miami's most prized addresses sounds like a multi-million-dollar fantasy — and it is.  

     But Williams Island makes sure it's worth every penny. 

    Embraced by the Intracoastal Waterway, this 84-acre private island boasts a world-class lifestyle that feels far removed from the buzz of the city, with everything essential within reach. 

    From the moment you pass through the gated entrance, you're surrounded by a sense of calm, luxury, and timeless design that defines each corner, starting with its real estate. 

    On Williams Island, you'll find a refined collection of Mediterranean-inspired townhomes, villas, and high-rise condominium towers with panoramic water views from nearly every angle within its cluster of notable communities like Bella Mare, Bellini, Prive, and the towers of 1000 through 7000 Island Boulevard. 

    Each offers its own personality, from modern minimalism to grand, classically appointed interiors, alongside residences ranging from two-bedroom condos to expansive penthouses over 6,000 square feet, often featuring private elevators, oversized terraces, and floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the surrounding waterways like art.

    These luxurious features translate to William Island's price tags that typically start in the $300,000s and can soar beyond $5 million, reflecting the homes' diversity and exclusivity of the address.  

    Yet the "real" value of Williams Island is in the lifestyle.

    Like a self-contained resort, this coastal slice features a 27,000-square-foot spa and fitness center offering everything from indoor pools and Pilates studios to massage therapy and beauty services, the Williams Island Marina, which gives residents the freedom to set sail on a whim, a Tennis Center with 16 clay courts for lessons, leagues, and community events, and a full-service Island Club with fine dining, social lounges, and curated programming. 

    Yes, peeps, daily life in Williams Island feels more like a vacation — but better! 

    You see, despite its privacy, Williams Island maintains a close-knit, neighborly atmosphere.  

    The residents — a mix of professionals, retirees, seasonal snowbirds, and families — spend their days walking the shaded paths, meeting for brunch by the water, taking yoga at the spa, or hopping on a boat for a quick coastal cruise.  

    Even pets are part of the rhythm, thanks to William Island's dedicated dog park! 

    The location also couldn't be more convenient. 

    Around Williams Island, top-rated schools like The Tauber Academy and Aventura City of Excellence School serve the community, and hospitals such as HCA Florida Aventura Hospital cover their health needs within a ten-minute drive from the island's bridge.

     At Williams Island, every detail is designed to blend ease with elegance, creating a chapter where your biggest worry is choosing between a spa day or a sunset sail. 

     Williams Island doesn't need grand entrances or loud declarations — its presence speaks in quiet luxury and calm conviction. 

    Tucked between sky and sea, this serene slice of Aventura offers more than shelter but expansive spaces to breathe, move, and simply be. 

    Here, there's no rush, only rhythm — a pace that lets life unfold on your terms while rewriting the rules of escaping the city's bustle.

     And for those who find their way on Williams Island, it will feel less like a move and more like a return to what matters.
