Once the personal playground of those vampish Vanderbilts, now a private isle paradise reachable only by auto-ferry (or yacht, if sir would prefer),
Fisher Island Club and Resort is one seriously swish, swanky and ultra-exclusive oasis set within old William Kissem’s Spanish Deco mansion estate and surrounded by golfing greens, peacock-preened gardens, a marina-fronted saltwater pool and 1 mile of peachy private beach. All that just a skip south of SoBe.
Rooms? There are none. It’s all suites, villas and quaint 1-3 bedroom cottages here, sweetling. Every last one has plush king-size sleepers, separate living rooms and marble-ous bathrooms with shimmy-out-of-that-robe soak tubs, but do nab one of the courtyard abodes for the added indulgence of your own patio with sunken Jacuzzi. Complimentary golf buggies will get your from morning tennis to midday golf then on to the full-service spa for ocean-inspired treatments. Come tea time, take your spot by the piano amid the old-monied and oligarchs in the famed oak-panelled Garwood Lounge; fine dine at Porto Cervo; or keep it casj at al fresco Beach Club.
