Private Island Estates for Sale on Palm Island, Miami Beach, Florida
Palm Island is the quieter, slightly more accessible sibling of the adjacent Star Island — a manmade island in Biscayne Bay connected to the MacArthur Causeway alongside Star Island, with its own gated access and approximately 80 estate lots that provide Biscayne Bay frontage and private dock access at price points that make it the entry tier of Miami Beach’s private island estate market. The island’s bay-front positions deliver the same Biscayne Bay and Miami skyline views that define Star Island, in a community whose scale allows for slightly more owner anonymity. Estates range from $5M to $40M+. Giant Mansions provides full representation for buyers and sellers on Palm Island.

Luxury Real Estate on Palm Island, Miami Beach, Florida
Palm Island is a manmade island in Biscayne Bay, created in the 1920s alongside Star Island as part of the same MacArthur Causeway development. The island sits between Star Island to the south and Hibiscus Island to the north, connected to the causeway by a private road with its own gated entry. The island contains approximately 80 estate lots — more than twice the inventory of Star Island — giving the market here somewhat more liquidity and a broader price range.
Palm Island Bay-Front Character
Palm Island’s bay-front positions face Biscayne Bay with views toward Miami’s downtown skyline, and private dock access supports vessels in the 30-to-60-foot range on most properties. The bay’s calm water character and the island’s gated private road network create a residential environment that maintains genuine private island character despite its causeway connection. The island’s proximity to South Beach — minutes by car — gives residents access to Miami’s most animated entertainment and dining district without sacrificing private island living.

Palm Island and the Miami Beach Island Chain
Palm Island sits within a chain of manmade private islands created in the 1920s as part of Miami Beach’s development — the Venetian Islands to the north and Star Island to the south providing context for Palm Island’s specific position in this chain. The Palm Island area also benefits from the Flagler Monument Island adjacent to the causeway, preserved as a public park, which provides a natural visual buffer from the causeway’s traffic.
