Entirely man-made, the archipelago of the Venetian Islands is located halfway between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. The group of islands comprises, from West to East, Biscayne Island, San Marco Island, San Marino Island, Do Lido Island, Rivo Alto Island and Belle Isle, which are all connected to one another by bridges that allow access to both Miami, on the mainland, and Miami Beach.
Initialement, l’ampleur du projet des Venetian Islands était très largement supérieure à ce que nous connaissons à l’heure actuelle : la construction d’une nouvelle chaussée était prévue, permettant d’accéder à quatre autres îles qui n’ont pas plus vu le jour. Si l’archipel est connu à l’échelle internationale pour avoir été intégralement façonné par l’Homme, il convient malgré tout de souligner que seule Belle-Isle était partiellement naturelle à l’origine.
The Venetian Islands’ history goes back to 1913, the year Collins Bridge was built. It was the first bridge connecting Miami to the archipelago and it was famous at the time for being the longest wooden bridge in the world. It was also an alternative to the ferry to access Miami Beach. Rehabilitated in 1925 and named the Venetian Causeway onwards, it is today a place where joggers, cyclists and walkers meet.
The islands are not only accessible to residents. Tourists are welcome but need to pay the toll fee for the bridge that connects the islands to the mainland.
A very high-end location, the Venetian Islands only offer prestigious villas, apartments and condos. With their lush and abundant tropical vegetation, their exceptional landscape and the privacy that they offer, the islands, which are entirely residential, attract Miami’s greatest fortunes.
While real estate occupies most of the Venetian Islands, recreational facilities and amenities satisfy all types of profiles and are accessible both from Miami and from Miami Beach.
