Fisher Island is the most expensive address in the world and one of the most closed places in the USA.
The largest number of billionaires and multimillionaires per square meter on the planet live here.
Surrounded by beaches of sand brought from the Bahamas, planted with palm trees and orchids imported from the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, filled with screams of toucans and macao in cages (special employees daily carry cages to the fresh air - so to speak, "walk" birds), Fisher Island is nicknamed "Dream Island".
Improvement and development of Fisher Island, which began in 1980s, is now almost completed. The man-made island has an area of less than one square kilometer and mainly geometric outlines of the coastline.
Most locals and tourists in Miami have the opportunity to see this island only from the other side of the strait and not otherwise.
Since Fisher Island is not connected by a bridge, you can get here only by water. For this purpose, there is a 24-hour ferry service from Terminal Road. It is also worth remembering that since the island is private, you can't come here without an invitation, so if you don't find your friends or relatives on the list of the club residents, the only way to stay here will be to rent a luxury room in the local hotel, which sometimes costs more than a thousand dollars per night...
For the right to use all this you have to pay 250 thousand dollars a year.
Local restaurants do not charge money or credit cards. Each resident opens an account at the restaurant, on which they deposit money, and then withdraw it when they visit the restaurant.
10-15% of island residents are Russians or people with Russian roots, who use Russian for communication.
There is another strict rule on Fisher Island: no matter what offshore areas and companies are hidden behind the names of local property owners in official documents, you must write your real name on your apartment.
This rule is especially disliked by Russian officials, who also have apartments on the island.
In order to have a pleasant time and have a good rest, only very rich people come to Fisher Island: business millionaires, movie stars, sports champions, and so on. Star tourists live on Fisher Island in luxurious rooms, equipped in the restored Vanderbilt Residence, as well as in guest houses.
In addition, several comfortable modern villas have been built on the island.
The island has its own fire station.
The island is guarded 24 hours a day by its own security service.
The price of real estate varies from 800 thousand to 32 million dollars.
- You can not get to the island without an invitation of its resident. The security guard meets the entering cars in a private ferry terminal, checks the documents for each passenger in the car, and checks the list of guests in the brig. That is why there is no crime at all.
- The island has only 700 residences, so all residents know each other in person. However, for most residents, the island is not a permanent residence, it may be their third, fifth, or tenth home. On average, about a thousand people live on the island, and in the off-season there may be more gardeners and housekeepers than the residents themselves.
- In order to be able to fully enjoy unsurpassed world-class service, island residents need to apply for membership of the Fisher Island Club, the cost of a one-time membership fee to join which is 250 thousand dollars. The membership of the club gives privileges including access to the exclusive South Florida Country Golf Club, tennis club, gourmet restaurants located on the island, spa center, salon and health center, berths, access to a private beach and beach club, Snooker Club, Vanderbilt pool, as well as you become a member of exclusive events of the club.
- The island has one-way traffic. Locals move around the island by electric golf cars.
- The island offers amazing views to all four sides of the world simultaneously.
- The island has its own observatory.
The owners of elite housing on Fisher Island are well-known international financiers, heads of major corporations, as well as representatives of the creative and sports elite of more than 50 nationalities.
