Near Miami in Biscayne Bay, this 216-acre island was once the Vanderbilt family’s private winter hideaway. Recalling the grandeur of the 1920s, the Inn at Fisher Island maintains exclusivity with its small number of rooms and suites. Whether you’re sunning poolside or dining in the refined Vanderbilt Mansion, the inn resembles an idyllic country club. Amenities include the Pete Dye-designed nine-hole course; 18 grass, hard and clay courts; and the spa Internazionale. A favorite of boaters, Fisher Island has two deep-water marinas with 131 slips.
