     Give your grid the glow-up it deserves as you grab your backstage pass to the ultra-photogenic spots just minutes from Williams Island, an exclusive 84-acre paradise in the heart of Aventura.  

     Ready to make your followers jealous? "Scroll" no further because Miami's most screenshot-worthy destinations are across the bridge from Williams Island, a posh peninsula with a balmy tropical backdrop and a traditional country club lifestyle. 

    Kissed by water on every side, this sought-after address is a triple threat of luxe living with its towering high-rises, resort-style features, and easily accessible location, attracting those who like their tranquility extra curated and their mail delivered by concierge without sacrificing city perks, including an Instagrammable escapade or two when they go off the island. 

    From gallery-filled malls to historical hideaways and café courtyards that look custom-built for reels, Williams Island boasts an endless supply of aesthetic gold! 

     So, if your camera's ready and your outfit's already planned, let's get snapping. 

     Here are the top five Instagrammable places near Williams Isl and . 

     1) Greynolds Park    

     17530 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 

    Step back and snap on as you trade your filters for forest trails at Greynolds Park, a 256-acre stretch of greenery just 5 minutes from Williams Island.

    More of a storybook chapter of South Florida's tropical allure than a city escape, this once humble rock quarry now holds official bragging rights as a historical and archaeological landmark, thanks to its preservation status dating back to 2004.

    Here, you'll wander past limestone formations crafted by the Civilian Conservation Corps., and get lost (in the best way) among shady hammocks and river views that don't require your best wide-angle lens (because they're THAT mesmerizing) — bonus points if you catch a blue heron or egret mid-flight, as Greynolds Park doubles as a birdwatcher's dream!

    For those looking to add more "wow" to their walk, head up to The Mound — a once-forgotten pile of construction debris now transformed into a castle-like lookout (with unexpectedly majestic views). 

    Then, you can circle back to the lakeside, stroll the wooded trails, and don't miss the Boathouse, a charming waterside gem that'll have your camera roll working overtime.

     2)   Ancient Spanish Monastery    

     16711 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 

    Do you want your next post to look like you time-traveled instead of a short drive? 

    Give your social media feeds a flashback moment with a dash of medieval magic at the Ancient Spanish Monastery, a jaw-dropping landmark dating back to 1133 AD, only 6 minutes from Williams Island. 

    Technically called the St. Bernard de Clairvaux Episcopal Church, but known on Instagram as "that one fairytale spot that makes jaws drop (okay, we made that up)," NMB's Ancient Spanish Monastery sets the perfect whimsical scene for those tying the knot, renewing vows, or celebrating a good hair day ('coz why not?), hosting everything from weddings to film shoots. 

    Yes, the photo ops don't stop.

    Once you step past the gates, you'll feel the modern world press pause as you explore the Ancient Spanish Monastery's lush gardens, stone pathways, and serene statues, which surround the area in a peaceful haze that makes reality feel optional.

    And then there's the star of the show — the structure itself, adorned with arched cloisters, carved columns, stained-glass windows, and antique lanterns lining garden trails made for your slow-mo dress twirls.

    Oh, and yes — there's a bell tower too. 

    Because if you're going for a "Throwback Thursday," it might as well come with medieval acoustics, right?

     3) Neverland Coffee Bar    

     17830 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 

    "Espresso" yourself with waffles, coffee, and an aesthetic that screams chic, rustic, and whimsy as you get cozy at Neverland Coffee Bar, a dreamy little café just 6 minutes from Williams Island.

    Mixing vintage vibes with garden-party flair, Neverland Coffee Bar is a beloved hangout by the brunch crowd, artists, and daydreamers, as it turns Pinterest boards into reality with its Instagrammable appeal, with a cup of coffee on the side!

    Neverland Coffee Bar is also tucked off the main drag, adding to its "secret spot" charm.

    That storybook patio? Picture hand-painted furniture, sun-dappled tables, plants peeking through every corner, and the occasional rainbow umbrella stealing the scene, all wrapped in a leafy shade that covers you from the sun and sprinkles magic onto your shots (coffee and camera).

    Also, Neverland Coffee Bar's menu is worth mentioning, as it offers everything from grilled salmon croissants and vegan burgers to bagels, pitas, pizzas, and sweets that look dangerously good under natural light.

    And, of course, there's the long list of signature coffees and teas to sip while you strike your best "effortlessly chill" pose for the 'gram.

    What more can you ask for?

     4) Aventura Mall  

     19501 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180 

    Shop, snap, and slide (more on this later) as you capture your upcoming content at Aventura Mall, a fashion-fueled hotspot and lifestyle mecca just 6 minutes from Williams Island.

    Offering more than 300 stores, from designer giants to niche boutiques, this ultimate Instagram and retail playground is the perfect place to flex your fashion sense — and your camera skills.

    You see, beyond the storefronts and sales, Aventura Mall is much like a modern art museum in disguise, thanks to its collection of over 25 photo-worthy installations across its sleek interiors and open-air corners.

    Scenic escalator rides? We can't have anything other than that! 

    Start your tour with the Aventura Slide Tower, a 93-foot-tall spiraling sculpture by Carsten Höller that's also a rideable slide. 

    Open Fridays through Sundays, it's an adrenaline-and-architecture combo your followers will eat up!

    And don't skip the fan-favorite fixtures like Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture, Rainbow Valley Playground by FriendsWithYou, or the Haas Brothers' playful gorilla fountains — each one has that "wait, where is this?!" energy that makes for perfect feed captions.

    Apart from its range of sculptures, installations, and architectural designs by renowned international and local visionaries, Aventura Mall is home to art galleries like Eternity Gallery Miami, a rotating showcase of contemporary works from globally acclaimed artists.

    All that style, story, and scenery in one mall — who says your next viral post can't happen between stops at Zara and Sephora?

     5) Motek Aventura    

     19565 Biscayne Blvd #946, Aventura, FL 33180 

    Donning a cute outfit and a raging appetite? Don't waste another second and grab a table at Motek Aventura, a famous dining spot brimming with delicious food, punchy iced lattes, and Boho charm, just 7 minutes from Williams Island.

    A Mediterranean café that blends Tel Aviv flair with bistro-chic allure, Motek Aventura, nestled along Aventura Mall's outdoor terrace, is equal parts café and aesthetic daydream, where fringed umbrellas, marble tables, and woven chairs set the stage for your next viral carousel. 

    Think hanging globes, floral-draped ceilings, and tree-lined walkways — an open-air scene complementing Miami's golden-hour glow.

    Oh, and the food is just as camera-ready! 

    From crisped-to-perfection schnitzel sandwiches and colorful mezze spreads to silky hummus bowls and the cult-favorite Arayes Burger, Motek's menu will surely steal the spotlight.

    And whatever you do, don't sleep on the lattes, iced teas, or pastry lineup — they're an iconic curtain closing to an unforgettable dining experience that balances flavor and pizzazz!
