No time to travel to the tropics? Head to South Florida and discover Turnberry Isle Miami, an elegant resort and spa in the Autograph Collection that instantly transports you to a serene, resort-style setting. The property blends Bali-inspired touches with Mediterranean flair—start with the large koi pond at the entrance, stroll along airy open walkways shaded by a century-old banyan tree, and enjoy lush gardens that frame the grounds.
Originally envisioned as a private luxury community in 1967, Turnberry Isle sits in the small town of Aventura, just a short drive from Miami. The estate-like venue has served as a backdrop for numerous films and television productions and regularly hosts professional golf events. The resort features two championship 18-hole courses, the Soffer and Miller, initially designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and later refined by golf icon Raymond Floyd. Rolling greens and strategic bunkering make both courses a draw for serious golfers and casual players alike.
Accommodations at Turnberry Isle include 398 smoke-free, pet-friendly guestrooms and suites spread across the Hibiscus, Jasmine, Magnolia, and Orchid towers—each named for the fragrant flowers that dot the landscaping. Every room offers a private balcony or terrace with views over the golf courses, gardens, or shimmering pools, providing a calm retreat after a day of activities.
Dining options are plentiful, and Corsair Kitchen & Bar is a standout. In its open kitchen, you can watch Chef Gordon Mayberry—formerly of the Arizona Biltmore Waldorf Astoria Resort and The Peninsula New York—and his culinary team prepare seasonal, thoughtfully composed dishes. The restaurant’s atmosphere and presentation make it a popular choice for guests seeking a memorable meal on property.
The resort is well equipped for meetings and events, with extensive function space for conferences, weddings, and social gatherings. Guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation will appreciate the resort’s full-service spa, housed in a dedicated building. This 25,000-square-foot sanctuary features 27 treatment rooms reached by a sweeping staircase beneath a glass dome, creating a peaceful, spa-like atmosphere.
Turnberry Isle’s spa showcases renowned skincare brands such as Spain’s Natura Bissé and the Parisian Thémaé line. The Optimal Wellness Program offers personalized health plans crafted by medical professionals Ellen Lebow, MD, and Michael Braun, MD. The spa menu blends world therapies, cultural massages, and themed rituals with classic body treatments and facials to create tailored wellness experiences.
Conveniently located near the international cruise port, Turnberry Isle Miami is an ideal spot to relax before or after a sea voyage. Whether you’re drawn to golf, spa treatments, fine dining, or simply the lovely tropical-meets-Mediterranean setting, the resort provides a refined, restorative escape in South Florida.
