At the heart of Porto Vita stands the opulent Villa Grande, inspired by classic Italian renaissance architecture and meticulously crafted by old world master artisans to stand as a testament to those who can, and do, live life on a grand scale.

Within a short walk of every residence is the exclusive Villa Grande Club, a treasured jewel that is removed from the rest of South Florida and the world
 

Broad, sweeping terraces open to the tranquil paradise that is Porto Vita, inviting the lush outdoors into Villa Grande’s epicurean formal dining room and enchanting casual dining area. Members may relax in the impeccably appointed rooms, enjoy their meals outside under clear, deep blue and starlit skies, or create an intimate gourmet experience in the Club’s private dining room. The nearby cozy piano bar, sports lounge and card room, with rich walnut wall paneling and wood-beamed ceilings invoke the sense of warm well-being found in traditional old world pubs.

Residents may refresh body and spirit with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and Cybex weight equipment and fitness amenities in tastefully appointed exercise and aerobics rooms. Ornate men’s and women’s saunas, steam rooms, whirlpool grottos accented by Italian tiles and adorned with delicate frescos, and social rooms invite members to linger in their private paradise that includes amenities such as massage and personal training. Those who choose the outdoors are welcomed into a superb tennis complex, or may simply relax poolside, serenaded by the sounds of lightly cascading water from a charming, Atlantean fountain.
