Residence 101, The Maison
Islamorada, Florida
Overlooking Alligator Reef in Islamorada, a village spread across six islands in the Florida Keys, The Maison is an exclusive new 12-residence community that boasts a private beach (a rarity in the Keys), as well as a large pool and hot tub–all just 90 minutes from Miami. This fully furnished smart home has 10-foot ceilings and an open floor plan, making the interior feel just as breezy as the oversize terrace outside. Islamorada is one of the best sportfishing destinations in the U.S., and serious anglers will appreciate both this oceanside property’s day dock and the location, just across the street from the Islamorada Marina.
Residence 101, The Maison • $3.5 million • 3,872 square feet • 4 bedrooms • 4.5 bathrooms
Penthouse H
Turks and Caicos
Andaz announced this luxury hotel and residential oceanside property last year, and it’s primed to be a doozy. Penthouse H will have 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over tranquil Grace Bay Beach, plus a 1,490-square-foot terrace with a plunge pool and wet bar. You can even take in the stunning view from the freestanding soaking tub in the walk-in wet room. Residents also have access to all of the resort’s amenities, including the indoor/outdoor spa, garden yoga studio, and restaurants and bars. It’s like booking a vacation that never ends.
Penthouse H, Andaz Turks & Caicos Residences at Grace Bay • $6 million • 6,411 square feet • 4 bedrooms • 4.5 bathrooms
Four Seasons Beachfront Private Residence
East Cape, Los Cabos
When a new Four Seasons resort opened last October in the East Cape of Baja California, it brought extra cachet to the master-planned community of Costa Palmas. Ownership of this private residence—which complements its desert and ocean surroundings with stone walls and an earthy palette—confers access to both the Four Seasons and the Costa Palmas Beach Club. That means a total of five pools and 11 bars and restaurants, plus a Robert Trent Jones II–designed golf course, although you’ll be happiest simply gazing at the Sea of Cortez from your private infinity pool.
Four Seasons Beachfront Private Residence #5, Costa Palmas • $16 million • 9,884 square feet • 6 bedrooms • 6 bathrooms
