Best Luxury Condo Buildings in Aventura Miami | Ranked
Aventura sells a different lifestyle than Sunny Isles Beach or Bal Harbour. Rather than oceanfront towers, this roughly three-square-mile city between Miami and Fort Lauderdale is built around the Intracoastal Waterway, gated island communities, and direct access to the Turnberry Isle golf courses. Here's how the market's top buildings actually compare.
1. Porto Vita
Porto Vita consistently ranks as Aventura's most prestigious address, and the data backs it up. This gated Mediterranean-style community along the Intracoastal, adjacent to the Turnberry Isle golf course, comprises two 32-story towers with 278 total residences, designed by architect Luis Revuelta and developed by Turnberry Associates and CMC Group. Reported price-per-square-foot appreciation has run as high as 75% over five years, and turnover stays genuinely low, a sign of strong owner satisfaction rather than active flipping. At the center of the gated community sits the 35,000-square-foot Villa Grande Club, styled after an Italian Renaissance villa.
2. Privé at Island Estates
Privé is Aventura's most boutique option by a wide margin, just 74 total residences across twin 16-story towers, designed by Sieger Suarez with interiors by Steven G. That scarcity, combined with a private island setting, makes it the pick for buyers prioritizing exclusivity over scale.
3. Bella Marè, Williams Island
Completed in 2005 and developed by WCI Communities, Bella Marè is a 30-story tower designed by architect Robert Swedroe within the larger Williams Island community, often nicknamed the "Florida Riviera." Residents share access to a private deep-water marina, tennis courts, and a surround-sound theater.
4. Residence du Cap, Williams Island
Completed in 1997 and developed by the Trump Group, this 32-story, 172-residence tower known as Residence du Cap was designed by Artec Architects and remains one of Williams Island's more established, timeless addresses, appealing to buyers who prioritize a proven building over new construction.
5. Echo Aventura
Echo Aventura brings modern Carlos Ott architecture and private-elevator boutique living to the market, a genuinely different aesthetic from the Mediterranean styling that defines Porto Vita and its neighbors.
How to Choose
Buyers prioritizing country-club service and long-term appreciation data tend toward Porto Vita. Those who want the smallest possible resident count choose Privé. Buyers drawn to Williams Island's marina-and-resort lifestyle specifically should compare Bella Marè and Residence du Cap directly, since both sit within the same gated community but differ meaningfully in age and architectural character.
