Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove places residents within easy distance of some of Miami’s most selectively run private clubs. The property offers buyers an exclusive invitation to apply for membership at The Surf Club in Surfside, with initiation fees and first-year dues waived. Beyond that, residents are well-positioned: ZZ’s Club is 15 minutes north in the Design District, The Bath Club sits on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach along a rare stretch of private shoreline, and Baia Beach Club anchors the bayfront at the Mondrian South Beach. 

The Surf Club opened in 1930 on New Year’s Eve by Harvey Firestone, the tire tycoon. Nestled on the oceanfront of Surfside, Florida, it established itself one of the most exclusive and sophisticated private clubs in the country. With its reputation as a place that respected privacy but allowed freedom, the club attracted a prestigious roster of members and guests, including luminaries, celebrities, and royalty such as Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Today, The Surf Club anchors the sister property to Coconut Grove – Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at The Surf Club — a visionary restoration and expansion by Fort Partners, brought to life in collaboration with Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier and interior designer Joseph Dirand. Residents of Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove are extended an exclusive invitation to apply for membership, subject to approval.

ZZ’s Club spans two floors in the heart of the Design District, housed in a space that emphasizes privacy and precision. Inside: a Japanese restaurant, a sixteen-seat omakase counter, cocktail bar, full dining room, and an upstairs lounge with its own cigar program and vintage spirits list. The design is tightly controlled — marble flooring, walnut paneling, mirrored ceilings, and low seating that invites you to stay. Membership includes access to Major Food Group’s broader network, with preferred reservations at Carbone, Dirty French, and Contessa. But regulars use ZZ’s as a second address. Lunch at the sushi counter, a negroni upstairs, or an espresso before heading out.

The Bath Club occupies a 5.3-acre oceanfront enclave at 5959 Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, with 540 feet of private shoreline and a long memory of those who have passed through. Originally opened in 1927 as the first private social club in the southeastern U.S., it was once a retreat for Rockefeller heirs and silver screen regulars. Its recent restoration has kept the bones intact — arched colonnades, coquina stone, carved ceilings — while introducing the full suite of contemporary amenities. Members have access to two European-style clay tennis courts, a full-service spa and fitness center, and a heated lap pool bordered by private cabanas. The Collins Room, the club’s main dining space, serves a seafood-forward menu — oysters, whole branzino, champagne — in a whitewashed room with terrazzo floors and a long run of windows facing the sea. Beyond that, a series of event spaces — from vaulted ballrooms to quieter lounges — hosts everything from private galas to curated art dinners. Membership remains tightly held, and the atmosphere reflects it: Staff that circulate without hovering, cabanas that don’t turn over, and lunches that stretch into late afternoon.

Set against the bayfront at the Mondrian South Beach, Baia Beach Club is built like a string of pavilions: dining deck, pool area, spa, cabana zones, and a low-rise marina lounge that fills in by mid-afternoon. There’s a 40-slip dock for arriving by boat, and the restaurant — Baia at Mondrian — runs a coastal Mediterranean menu built around grilled seafood, garden herbs, and citrus. A juice bar opens early; the cocktail program starts strong by noon. The materials lean coastal — rope, linen, bleached wood — with landscaping that softens the perimeter. Members cycle through quietly: yoga in the morning, wine service later, maybe a steam before dinner under the bougainvillea. The club stays easygoing, even when it’s full.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove includes a full suite of on-site amenities—spa circuit, serviced pool deck, in-residence dining, and an exclusive invitation to apply to The Surf Club. Surrounding clubs offer their own systems: managed calendars, concierge-level service, and teams built to remember your name and pace. For more information, inquire with the sales team today.
