The Villa Casa Casuarina

A Businessclass Verified Hotel

Steeped in history and renowned for its opulence, The Villa Casa Casuarina stands as one of Miami Beach’s most exclusive boutique hotels. Originally constructed in 1930, the property gained worldwide fame when acclaimed Italian designer Gianni Versace made it his private residence in 1992. Versace transformed the estate with a lavish $32 million restoration, merging old-world Mediterranean glamour with striking Art Deco details. The historic mansion’s original apartments were reimagined into ten expansive suites, while the addition of a South Wing, lush gardens, and the celebrated Thousand Mosaic Pool elevated the property to new heights of luxury.

Since opening as a luxury all-suite hotel, Casa Casuarina has become a living museum, filled with intricate mosaics, classic sculptures, and bespoke furnishings. The mythological motifs—ranging from a bronze Aphrodite to the legendary Medusa mosaic that adorns the pool—pay homage to Versace’s artistic vision and the property’s storied past.

Each suite is a masterclass in decadent design. Whether you choose a garden-view room with a private terrace or the palatial Gianni Master Suite with hand-painted murals and dual balconies, every accommodation is meticulously appointed. Expect sumptuous king-size beds dressed in Frette linens, vast custom marble bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and elegant living areas—many with private balconies or patios. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the estate.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the famed Thousand Mosaic Pool and an atmospheric rooftop lounge. The Onyx Bar presents an expertly curated menu of cocktails and fine wines, while Gianni’s at The Villa offers a refined dining experience with contemporary Italian-inspired cuisine and inventive international influences. The Villa Casa Casuarina continues to captivate discerning travelers seeking a unique blend of heritage, luxury, and Miami Beach glamour in 2025.
