Inside The Estates at Acqualina's Newly Revealed Masterpiece Penthouse 'Palazzo di Paradiso' With 2 Private Pools

Palazzo di Paradiso is a singular, two-story bespoke masterpiece perched on the top two floors - 51 and 52 - of The Estates at Acqualina, the $1.8 billion residential development opening later this year in Sunny Isles Beach. Completely customizable by the buyer, Palazzo di Paradiso is unique in the luxury space, says President of Sales Michael Goldstein.

“We haven’t created the floor plan; we’ve created the canvas.” says Goldstein, “It’s the world’s finest penthouse in the world’s finest residence, and because it’s so unique and rare, we didn’t want to design it ourselves; we wanted to sit down with the buyer and create what they need,” he says.

The sky is the limit underneath 20-foot ceilings, a staircase that rises 38 feet, and two private terrace pools, one ingeniously cantilevered over the building with a glass-bottom rising 646 feet above the sand. Though the penthouse has the capacity for nine bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms, with a one-bedroom guest suite and kitchen, it’s the owners who will decide how they want to tailor-make their new home. For the ultimate in privacy, an air-conditioned four-car garage attaches to an equally cool 458-square foot, oceanfront, Fendi Casa-furnished cabana, complete with shower, kitchen, and direct pool access.

Offered at $59 million, it is the most expensive penthouse currently on the market. From opulent rugs to chandeliers and accessories, buyers have $3.2 million to use within Miami’s Luxury Living Group showroom on Fendi Casa, Paul Mathieu, Trussardi Casa, and other Made in Italy collections to furnish their new palatial home with panache. Their designers will space-plan the home for effortless design precision. At the same time, Todd and Isabel Tragash of STA Architectural Group will work with owners to curate the finest stone, appliances, and cabinets.

“This is a house in the sky,” says Goldstein, “It’s ideal for someone who’s been thinking about a house but wants two pools, space, and maximum privacy with services and amenities where everything is maintained for them,” he says.
