Top 5 Things To Do on Williams Island

(1)

You just wrapped a morning at the spa or a few sets on the tennis court — now what?

If your next move involves replenishing with delicious food and even better views, there's no need to brave the traffic or book a reservation in advance — Williams Island brings the restaurants to your doorstep!

No, this is not a drill!

Here, residents enjoy access to a unique lineup of dining spots, including a fine dining venue (Island Grille), a casual poolside café (Island Club Pool & Bar), and an on-site Starbucks counter for your essential morning fix!

Whether it's filet mignon with a waterfront backdrop or a wrap between tennis matches, you never have to leave the island to eat well. 

But if you do? Just cross the bridge and indulge in Aventura's limitless menus of flavors, from Asian delights and Mediterranean hotspots to Latin-fusion favorites, cozy Italian trattorias, and plant-based cafés that make kale taste like a treat.

We promise no shortages of egg benedicts, mimosas, or outdoor patios perfect for lingering — this suburban slice is locked and loaded, plating luxury one bite at a time!

Don't worry; we know you didn't mean to make it a shopping day when that one errand you had to do turned into three bags and two new pairs of shoes.

It's just how it is when you live near Aventura Mall, the largest mall in Florida and the second largest in the country!

Offering luxury labels, statement pieces, and gallery-level art, Aventura Mall is a lifestyle mecca that doubles as a fashion playground with a five-star food court and window displays that feel more like museum exhibits — an irresistible tease to those trying to tone down their spending!

But it's not all couture and credit limits. 

For everyday finds in stride, visit Aventura Commons, a local shopping spot packed with familiar favorites, and The Esplanade at Aventura for beauty, wellness, and boutique brands that feel refreshingly low-key.

Whether you're in the mood to splurge or need a fresh tube of mascara, Williams Island puts you in the heart of Aventura's retail scene. 

And yes, parking is pretty doable —  a luxury of its own.

Some people decompress with a glass of wine, and others do it with a 27,000-square-foot spa — on Williams Island, you can do both (though probably not at the same time). 

Thanks to the Williams Island Spa, you'll have a full-on sanctuary at your disposal, complete with steam rooms, treatment suites, an indoor pool, beauty services, and even personal training — in case your idea of unwinding includes burpees between facials. 

Here, stress checks out, robes are the "unofficial" dress code, and every detail feels serene, relaxing, and intentional. 

Do you prefer your downtime with fresh air and endless "green" sightings? William Island's private dog park and playground offer a peaceful spot to stroll, play, or soak in a quiet moment under the palms. 

Plus, beyond the gates, you have tons of options, from a shady hike through Greynolds Park, one of Miami's most historic natural spaces, to a slow and scenic escapade at Veterans Park. 

Want to move a little more? The Don Soffer Exercise Trail wraps around Aventura with wide paths, skyline views, and subtropical calm that turns a quick walk into a full-blown reset. 

Recline, walk, stretch, and stroll — on Williams Island, relaxation is built in!

Just because you live on a private peninsula doesn't mean you're stuck in your fabulous tropical bubble (although it wouldn't be the worst place to be stranded). 

The beauty of Williams Island is that it offers seclusion without isolation — a front-row seat to peace and quiet with the entire city at your fingertips. 

All it takes is one turn off Island Boulevard to find yourself deep in Aventura's rhythm: cultural happenings, art exhibits, boat shows, festivals, and everything in between. 

Craving ocean views? Sunny Isles is just up the road, ready to charm you with endless miles of sun, sand, and sea!

More into gallery strolls and vintage treasures? North Miami has the goods, and it's not afraid to impress! 

Around Williams Island, there's always something fresh to discover across the bridge — a new flavor, a hidden view, or a corner of the city you didn't know you'd love. 

And when the day winds down, the reward isn't what you explored, but coming home to calm. 

The water's still, the pace slows, and the skyline feels like your personal backdrop — out there is where the memories happen, but back on Williams Island is where you settle in.

Game, set…, yacht. 

On Williams Island, playtime comes with a polished edge, whether you're perfecting your backhand or prepping the boat for a weekend cruise, thanks to its lavish array of resort-style amenities!

Heading the list is William Island's Tennis Center, which features 16 clay courts, year-round clinics, and a social scene as active as the players. 

Next, the Williams Island Marina, where 106 private slips await everything from sleek cruisers to 160-foot floating palaces and direct access to the Intracoastal when adventure calls. 

Oh, but don't head back home just yet!

Across the bridge, the outdoor fun flows with Tidal Cove Waterpark just minutes away, delivering summer thrills amidst water slides, splash zones, and lazy rivers. 

Prefer your fun with a five-iron? The Golf Club at JW Marriott Turnberry Resort turns a quick round into a luxe all-day escape. 

And if you're chasing scenery with a splash of sweat, paddle your way through the mangroves at Oleta River State Park.

At this coastal slice, a fun day always comes with variety and a multi-million-dollar style!
