Miami is redefining how groups travel together, and a new generation of private luxury stays is leading the shift. The Miami Villas, a curated collection of private estates across Miami, is reshaping the traditional hospitality model by prioritizing space, privacy, and fully self-contained resort living designed for groups.
Born in 2020 during a moment when quarantine changed how people gathered and traveled, The Miami Villas began with a simple realization: travelers wanted more than hotel rooms or compact rentals. They wanted space, fresh air, and environments built for connection. What started as a personal solution quickly evolved into a broader hospitality concept — private residences designed for large groups seeking autonomy, comfort, and indoor-outdoor living.
Each property is built around privacy and entertainment, with a focus on lush tropical landscaping, hedged compounds, and expansive outdoor environments that feel worlds away from traditional hotel stays.
Across the collection, amenities elevate the experience into something closer to a private resort. Guests will find private movie theaters, a waterfall, and koi pond relaxation spaces, fully equipped gyms, fire pits, saunas, and cold plunges — alongside mini golf, sports courts such as pickleball, basketball, beach volleyball, giant chess, and large resort-style pools and hot tubs. The result is a destination where wellness, entertainment, and leisure exist under one roof.
Villa Maya stands as the flagship of the collection — a sprawling three-story gated estate with more than 14,000 square feet of living space designed entirely around large-group luxury. With ten bedrooms, multiple kitchens, a full entertainment ballroom and club lounge, elevator access, yoga studio, sauna, and expansive outdoor recreation including mini golf, basketball, pickleball, and a heated pool, the residence functions less like a rental and more like a private resort built for gatherings, celebrations, and extended stays.
Villa Tortuga blends classic Miami estate living with refined comfort, offering a spacious ten-bedroom residence set on meticulously maintained grounds in a quiet central Miami location. Designed for large groups, the property features expansive indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, a full outdoor kitchen and dining space, guest house accommodations, and secure gated privacy — creating a balanced setting where scale, comfort, and convenience come together.
Villa Paraíso delivers a secluded tropical compound experience, hidden within lush greenery along Miami’s El Portal river basin. Composed of multiple villa structures across a single private property, the estate includes a large heated pool, sauna, cold plunge, beach volleyball, gym, and wellness-focused amenities surrounded by dense tropical landscaping — creating a self-contained mini-resort designed for privacy, nature, and large-group stays.
Villa Azur offers a modern indoor-outdoor escape centered around a dramatic pool courtyard and entertainment-driven layout. Featuring seven bedrooms, expansive living areas, relaxation cabanas, a poolside bar, and open-flow architecture, the villa is designed for groups seeking both connection and privacy, with seamless transitions between indoor gathering spaces and the outdoor pool environment.
Villa Milano reflects a more classic estate character within the portfolio, pairing expansive living areas with refined interiors and private outdoor spaces. Designed for group stays, the residence emphasizes scale, comfort, and social gathering areas while maintaining the privacy and self-contained feel that defines the collection.
Villa Tulum introduces a tropical, nature-inspired atmosphere with lush landscaping and open outdoor living spaces that evoke a retreat-style environment. The villa balances relaxation and recreation, offering private gathering spaces, outdoor amenities, and a tranquil setting suited for group escapes centered around wellness and connection.
Villa Bohemia brings a more relaxed, lifestyle-driven tone to the collection, blending indoor comfort with inviting outdoor environments designed for entertaining and social gathering. The residence maintains the signature Miami Villas focus on privacy, space, and group-friendly design while offering a laid-back atmosphere ideal for extended stays and celebrations.
Villa Natura emphasizes greenery, open space, and a connection to nature, creating a peaceful setting within the broader portfolio. With expansive outdoor areas, private amenities, and a layout built for groups, the residence offers a quieter, retreat-like expression of the Miami Villas concept while maintaining the same scale and comfort found across the collection.
Opening March 2026, The Miami Villas debuts a first of its kind waterfront villa, Villa Amara. The Villa will be the prime jewel of the collection for guests seeking the most elevated experience with over 150 ft of waterfront.
As group travel continues evolving toward privacy and experiential stays, The Miami Villas reflects a broader shift in hospitality — one where travelers are no longer choosing between hotel luxury and residential comfort, but instead experiencing both in a single, expansive setting.
