Trump International Beach Resort Sunny Isles Beach — Floor Plans

At 18001 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Trump International Beach Resort occupies the first of three towers in the Trump Grande oceanfront complex — an 11-acre, nearly 1,000-linear-foot beachfront development that together with Trump Palace and Trump Royale represents one of the largest privately developed oceanfront residential compounds in the history of Sunny Isles Beach. Developed by Dezer Development in partnership with the Trump Organization, the building was completed in 2003 as a condo-hotel — meaning every unit is individually owned but operates within the hotel's managed rental infrastructure, with nightly rental permitted for all owners who elect to participate.

The building delivers 390 condo-hotel units across 32 stories — studio junior suites, one-bedroom suites, and two-bedroom configurations — all with 10-foot ceilings, private balconies, and direct Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal Waterway views. It is now operated as a Sonesta-managed hotel and is formally known as the Trump International Sonesta Ocean Resort in hotel booking contexts, though it continues to be widely searched and marketed in the real estate market under its original Trump International Beach Resort name.

Of the three Trump Grande towers, Trump International Beach Resort is the condo-hotel — the investment tier. Trump Palace and Trump Royale to the south are the privately residential towers — covered separately. Understanding this three-tower structure is the essential first step for any buyer evaluating the Trump Grande complex.

Trump Grande — Three Towers, Three Residential Identities

The Trump Grande complex at 18001–18101 Collins Avenue comprises three distinct towers sharing 11 acres and approximately 1,000 linear feet of Sunny Isles oceanfront:

Trump International Beach Resort (18001 Collins): Completed 2003. 390 condo-hotel units. Nightly rental permitted. Studio through two-bedroom floor plans. The complex's investment and short-term rental tier.

Trump Palace (18101 Collins): Completed 2006. 281 privately owned residential condominiums. 55 stories. One- through five-bedroom floor plans from 1,180 to 5,800+ square feet. Six-month minimum rental term. The complex's mid-tier private residential tower.

Trump Royale (18201 Collins): Completed 2008. 380 privately owned residential condominiums. 55 stories. One- through five-bedroom floor plans. Six-month minimum rental term. The complex's largest private residential tower.

All three towers share the Trump Grande compound's lagoon pool, two Jacuzzis, waterfalls, snack bar, tennis center, spa, and beach access. Trump International Beach Resort's condo-hotel units additionally receive the hotel's full service infrastructure — daily housekeeping, room service, concierge, and managed rental program.

Trump International Beach Resort — Floor Plans at a Glance

Junior Suites — ~450 to 650 Square Feet

Junior suites are the building's entry configuration and its most actively traded investment tier — pricing currently ranging from approximately $273,000 to $450,000 for entry-level configurations, making them the most accessible oceanfront ownership entry point of any building in the Sunny Isles Beach market by acquisition price. Every junior suite includes a private balcony, marble bathroom, 10-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows with Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal views depending on orientation. The in-room microwave and minibar are standard in all junior suites; in-room laundry is not available at this configuration level but is included in one-bedroom and above.

For buyers specifically evaluating the building as a short-term rental investment — the Sonesta-managed nightly rental program generating revenue when the unit is not in owner use — the junior suite tier is the most efficient acquisition at the lowest capital outlay, with the hotel brand's reservation system, front desk, and housekeeping infrastructure managing all operational aspects of the rental program.

1 Bedroom Suites — ~700 to 900 Square Feet

One-bedroom suite floor plans are the building's most active resale tier by transaction volume — combining a fully equipped kitchen (standard at this configuration level and above), in-unit laundry, a separate sleeping room, and a private balcony at a price range currently from approximately $500,000 to $900,000. Active listing language confirms the view variety within the one-bedroom tier: "breathtaking ocean views from the 29th floor" and "great ocean and bay views" appear in separate active listings — reflecting the building's dual-exposure floor plate positioning that delivers ocean views on the eastern face and Intracoastal views on the western face, with specific unit orientation determining which primary view the residence delivers.

The fully equipped kitchen at the one-bedroom level is the floor plan feature most consequential for the short-term rental income calculation — units with full kitchen capability rent at materially higher nightly rates on the managed hotel platform than studio-format hotel rooms, and the rate differential compounds meaningfully across a full year of rental program participation.

2 Bedroom Suites — ~1,100 to 1,478 Square Feet

Two-bedroom suite floor plans range from approximately 1,100 to 1,478 interior square feet — confirmed in active listings including a "beautiful 2 bedrooms 2 bath suite at 1,478 total square footage" and a "superb corner unit with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms" — the largest standard floor plans available in the building and the most livable configurations for owners who use the unit as a part-time second home rather than purely as a rental investment.

Corner two-bedroom units — at the building's floor plate corners where dual ocean and bay exposures are available simultaneously — are the building's premium resale configurations within the standard condo-hotel collection. Active listings confirm "amazing views of both ocean and bay" from corner positions, with the dual-exposure view making these units the most competitive Trump International Beach Resort floor plans against the lower tiers of the neighboring Trump Palace private residential tower.

The Condo-Hotel Structure — What Ownership at Trump International Actually Delivers

Unlike the private residential towers covered throughout this MPE floor plan series — where ownership is straightforward private condominium ownership — Trump International Beach Resort is a condo-hotel with a specific set of ownership characteristics that any buyer must understand before evaluating individual floor plans:

Nightly rental is permitted and facilitated. Every unit in the building is eligible for the Sonesta-managed nightly rental program. Owners who opt in allow their unit to be rented as a hotel room when they are not in residence, receiving a percentage of the nightly rate. The Sonesta brand's reservation infrastructure, front desk, and housekeeping team manage all operational aspects.

Daily housekeeping is standard when the unit is in the rental program. For owners who use the unit personally, housekeeping is available on the hotel's standard schedule.

Ownership costs and HOA structures at condo-hotels differ materially from private residential condominiums. Buyers should confirm the current hotel management agreement terms, the owner revenue-sharing percentage, the specific owner blackout date provisions, and the annual operating costs before committing to any specific floor plan.

The building is operated by Sonesta. While the property is widely known and searched under the Trump International name, the current operating manager is Sonesta Hotels — a major US hotel brand that operates the property's reservation, staffing, and service infrastructure. The Trump branding on the building's exterior and in real estate marketing coexists with Sonesta's operational management.

The Trump Grande Compound — What All Three Towers Share

All owners at Trump International Beach Resort — regardless of floor plan or unit size — share the Trump Grande compound's full amenity infrastructure with Trump Palace and Trump Royale residents:

• 10 acres of Atlantic Ocean beachfront with full beach service
• Lagoon pool with two Jacuzzis and waterfalls — the complex's signature outdoor amenity, distinguishable from the standard rectangular pool decks of neighboring towers by its resort-landscaped, tropical character
• Snack bar and poolside bar service (Gili's Poolside Bar and Grill)
• Full-service spa (Aquanox Spa) with massages, body treatments, and beauty services
• State-of-the-art fitness center with cardiovascular equipment, personal training, aerobic and strength training, sauna and steam rooms
• Tennis center
• Neomi's Grill — the complex's signature full-service restaurant with gourmet kitchen and room service delivery
• Lime Lounge — the building's martini bar
• 24-hour concierge and security
• Valet parking
• Business center with conference and meeting rooms (20,000 SF event space)

The lagoon pool with Jacuzzis and waterfalls is the compound-wide amenity most frequently cited in guest and owner reviews as the feature that most clearly differentiates the Trump Grande outdoor experience from competing buildings on the Collins Avenue corridor. The resort-landscaped lagoon format — tropical plants, rock waterfalls, multiple Jacuzzi hot tubs integrated into the pool perimeter — creates an outdoor living environment that reads as a Caribbean resort rather than a South Florida condo pool deck.

Trump Palace and Trump Royale — The Private Residential Towers

For buyers who are evaluating the Trump Grande campus but specifically want a private residential condominium rather than a condo-hotel unit — with a six-month minimum rental term and no hotel guests in the building — Trump Palace and Trump Royale are the relevant towers:

Trump Palace (18101 Collins): 55 stories, 281 residences, completed 2006. One- through five-bedroom floor plans from 1,180 to 5,800+ square feet with 10-foot ceilings throughout. Corner units are the building's most sought-after configurations, delivering simultaneous ocean and Intracoastal views. Current resale pricing ranges from approximately $900,000 for entry one-bedroom configurations to $3 million-plus for larger ocean-facing floor plans.

Trump Royale (18201 Collins): 55 stories, 380 residences, completed 2008. Similar one- through five-bedroom floor plan structure with 10-foot ceilings, private balconies, and the full Trump Grande amenity access. Current resale pricing spans a comparable range to Trump Palace.

Both towers share the Trump Grande compound amenities with Trump International Beach Resort residents, creating a three-tower community of over 1,000 total units on one of the most generous beachfront land holdings in Sunny Isles Beach.

The Sunny Isles Beach Location Context

Trump International Beach Resort at 18001 Collins Avenue sits at the southern end of Sunny Isles Beach — approximately midway along the Collins Avenue luxury corridor between the Trump Palace/Royale and the Acqualina Resort campus to the north. The address delivers:

• Haulover Park — 5 minutes by car; one of the most popular public parks in Miami-Dade County
• Aventura Mall — 5 minutes by car; the third-largest mall in the United States by retail area
• Bal Harbour Shops — 10 minutes by car
• Miami International Airport — 25 minutes by car
• Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport — 30 minutes by car

For buyers evaluating Trump International Beach Resort's position within the broader Sunny Isles luxury condo market — which now extends from the Trump Grande complex at the south end of the corridor through Acqualina, Jade Signature, Porsche Design Tower, Bentley Residences, and the St. Regis Residences at the north — the building's 2003 delivery date and condo-hotel structure position it as the market's most accessible-by-price ocean-fronting investment option, while the neighboring private residential towers in the same compound provide upgrade pathways for buyers who eventually want to step into a full private-residential ownership model.
