This summer, we’re heading south of Florida towards South Beach, a Miami Beach neighborhood widely known for its glamorous nightlife, art culture, shopping districts, world-class dining, and pristine beaches. Unlike any other city on the Floridian coast, South Beach is where true affluence can be found. It comes to no surprise that this neighborhood has become an example of high-class living and refined culture as well as being a desirable place to live in: imagine being surrounded by shady palm trees, white sand, and alluringly blue waters during the day, and the riveting city scene of SOFI (South of Fifth District) at night.
If you’re looking to find your dream home, this neighborhood is the next forever paradise. The Murano at Portofino, Continuum South Beach, Apogee Miami, and Murano Grande are the forefront examples of elite luxury and sophistication, surpassing the highest standards of wellness and pampering of its residents. With these luxurious condominiums, no other residence comes close to their standards of aristocratic living.
MURANO AT PORTOFINO
Privacy and wellness are important priorities when finding a place to call home. The Murano at Portofino is incomparable when it comes to comfort and living. The condominium encourages active lifestyles through its high-end wellness facilities like the heated bayside pools, landscaped recreational grounds perfect for families and nature-lovers, and lighted tennis courts while cultivating a sense of privacy. Imagine yourself waking up every morning to the lapping waters of the Miami Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, and the sparkling Biscayne Bay that can be seen right from the spacious terraces as you start your day.
Unlike some of the other ordinary luxury condominiums of South Beach, The Murano of Portofino is a towering skyscraper of only the highest chic-and-beachside living standards that whisk residents away from the loud city life and into a private oasis surrounded by lush palm trees, vibrant flora, and manicured lawns. Indulge in a well-deserved break by the heated bay front pool outside of the Private Bay Side Beach Club’s poolside café. Treat yourself to self-care at their wellness facilities, including their high-end sauna and steam rooms, exclusive health and fitness center, multi-purpose rooms, and spa.
Perhaps more immaculate than the condominium’s generous facilities are their spacious floor plans sporting a chic European design. Large walk-in closets, spectacular views of South Beach, and custom European cabinetry are just a few of the condo’s features. The bathroom has a spacious whirlpool tub, marble floors and walling, a Euro-style bidet, and contemporary faucets. The Murano of Portofino creates a secluded-and-luxurious living experience for its residents with just a short walk from SOFI’s top restaurants, boutiques, and bars for a change in scenery. It is an ideal place with the beach and the city in its backyard, and the best accommodations for its residents.
APOGEE SOUTH BEACH
Privacy. Sophistication. Class. Apogee.
Another stunning residency designed by the world-famous Sieger Suarez, the Apogee Condo is South Beach’s most luxurious condo development with the most coveted view of the crystallizing blue oceans and vibrant city of South Beach. These spacious condo units offer an elegant and comfortable lifestyle right from the terraces overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay with its state-of-the-art bathroom and shower systems, walk-in lighted shower, tub lights, MEM faucets, jetted tub options, and custom rain and steam shower head features.
Whether you’re preparing a savory meal for one or a lavish dinner party, this kitchen is, without doubt, every culinary artist’s dream. Practical and sophisticated in its design, exotic Salvatore cabinetry, and enhanced lighting compete for the title of being the space’s most stunning features alongside its high-end appliances: the SubZero refrigerator and freezer drawers, refined Franke round bar sink and faucet, and sound-deadening flooring that will make the culinary journey accommodating to your needs. In addition to this modern kitchen space, barbecues are found on every terrace for a sunset meal right by the water. With a kitchen like this paired with the panoramic view of the water and the city skyline, this kitchen has yet to make some delicious memories with you.
Although the kitchen and condo’s glorious features might have you wanting to stay indoors all the time, the building’s amenities will also rival for your attention. Dive into their infinity-edge pool with its breathtaking view of the city as the sun begins to set, cascading through a glowing skyline. For some downtime, their spa offers a wide array of massage, beauty, and relaxation treatments to roll your stress off your shoulders. What better opportunity to get to know your neighbors than putting together a soirée or barbecue at their residential open-air party pavilion (reserved for private and social meetings and outdoor events)? If you have the time, stop by their state-of-the-art fitness facility equipped with experienced staff members whose expertise ranges from tailoring fitness routines to creating diet and nutrition plans for each of their residents’ lifestyles.
Coming down with cabin fever? There’s another residential perk: Apogee has an enclosed private parking garage exclusive to its residents including complimentary concierge and valet services at their residents’ disposal with the city being a short drive away from some of the city’s most vibrant restaurants, bars, and boutiques. With Apogee, elegance, convenience, and wellness are their motto when it comes to their outstanding service and care towards its residents.
CONTINUUM SOUTH BEACH
Private gardens, fountains, rooftop pool, tennis courts, and a private beach are the things that define affluence. However, when it comes to the finer things in life, you deserve more than that, and with Continuum of South Beach there is no definition of paradise more perfect than this location. Designed by world-famous Sieger Suarez Architects, this two-tower condominium is the most coveted residence on the Floridian coast fit for only the most discerning resident with its artistic flair. Located in SOFI, this beachfront condominium pampers its residents beyond the standards of any other South Beach property, making it a stunning staple to the cityscape. An opportunity to reside at this glamorous complex would mean wrap-around balconies with iconic views of the beautiful marina, grand 10-foot ceiling apartments, and even grander amenities.
For your culinary delights, the kitchen is designed with granite countertops, custom European cabinetry, glass backsplashes for a more sleek elegant look, and of course, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances like its SubZero built-in refrigerator-freezer, Miele touch-control cooktop and electric oven, and Kitchenaid full-size microwave oven. With this elite design, cooking a delicious meal could not be more tempting. But perhaps even more impressive than the kitchen is the master bathroom you’ll find to be very accommodating with its spacious whirlpool tubs and waterfall spouts, imported marble flooring and countertops, whirlpool deck, and fine European vanity cabinetry.
Although the residence’s location makes it convenient for residents to access the vibrant city scene, I doubt you’ll find yourself stepping outside with this condo’s access to its exclusive amenities. Treat yourself to a dip in the lagoon-style swimming pools surrounded by shady green palm trees just a few steps away from the white sandy shore of the private residential beach. Stressful day? Detox in their world-class lounge-heating facilities like their eucalyptus steam room, heated whirlpools, redwood saunas, and other wellness services right at your disposal. At Continuum South Beach, privacy is their highest priority in conjunction with the wellness of its residents. The landscaped gardens and greenery surrounding the property add to the exclusive nature of the condominium’s location, giving its residents an additional layer of solitude in their recreational activities, be it playing a match or two at the private tennis courts, or working out on their three-story state-of-the-art gym facility.
With its high-end architectural-landscaping design, world-class amenities, and beautiful condos, it is no wonder that this residence has become the most sought-after place in the city. Considering the high volume in its desirability, it is imperative that you reserve your spot before the opportunity is taken.
MURANO GRANDE
The Murano Grande is widely known for providing the largest condo units in the area. This condominium sports a sophisticated appearance with its refined amenities and spacious balconies overlooking the Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. When it comes to the comforts of its residents, these luxurious condos spare no expense in making themselves your perfect dream home with a design plan that allows the room to remain open with natural sunlight while being considerate of one’s everyday needs and storage. The contemporary kitchen comes fully equipped with all the modern amenities like its European custom cabinetry, built-in, full-size oven and microwave, granite countertops, wine chiller, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator-freezer, and touch-control ceramic radiant cooktop. However, its most popular feature is the beautiful eat-in breakfast area with its spectacular view of the water and the city.
You will also find the master bathroom to be quite chic with its white marble interior design and contemporary influence that can also be found in its sleek designer faucets, custom seamless enclosed glass shower, and whirlpool tub, complemented by the European cabinetry and full-width mirror over the granite vanity top. Just as refined as its interior, the master bathroom’s practicality excels with its double porcelain sink, elongated water closet, and generous spacing.
