Star Island

Separated from the mainland and only accessible by a single road, Star Island is the very definition of exclusivity. For that reason, this small residential island is one of the preferred addresses of many high-profile personalities when they come to reside in Miami Beach. And as such, Star Island is the object of many people’s attention. It’s a popular destination for tourists who want to catch a glimpse of megastars and their mega-mansions.

 

Star Island traces its origins back to the 1920s. This man-made island would not have been made possible if not for the Army Corps of Engineers. They finished the island in 1922. It was eventually owned by Carl Fisher, one of the prominent real estate developers in Florida.

 

Located in the southern part of Miami Beach, Star Island may be isolated at first glance, but the truth is that it is conveniently located to everything Miami and Miami Beach have to offer.

 

Bridge Road connects Star Island to the MacArthur Causeway. Go east and the glamorous South Beach opens up to reveal an endless string of white-sand beaches, five-star dining, and great nightlife options. Or you can head west and straight to Downtown Miami and explore its labyrinth of arts and cultural spaces, entertainment options, and more. Places such as ​Ichimura Miami Japan Garden, ​Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science​, ​Jungle Island, and Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District are all a short drive away.

 

Back in Star Island, tourists may be allowed to go in and around the neighborhood to see its luxury estates and possibly its famous residents. That said, privacy is never an issue. Residents like to keep things discreet in Star Island, although you may occasionally brush shoulders with neighbors.
