Did you know a little secret island is hidden subtly among Florida's stunning landscapes and is home to a very small group of wealthy individuals who reside there?
Indian Creek, a small, exclusive island in Miami with only a limited number of homes, is also known as the "Billionaire Bunker" due to its residents' extraordinary wealth and notoriety. Billionaire businessman Carl Icahn, supermodel Adriana Lima, Spanish musician Julio Iglesias, American footballer Tom Brady, and Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump are just a few of its notable residents. The latest entry in the list is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos who has recently bought a $68 million mansion in the area.
Indian Creek, the 300-acre private island in Biscayne Bay is recognized not just for its stunning beauty but also for being one of Miami Beach's wealthiest and most securely segregated neighborhoods on a global scale. The inhabitants of Indian Creek place the utmost importance on maintaining unmatched privacy and safety. This dedication is kept by the presence of a committed private 13-man police force, the Indian Creek Village Police as well as a 24/7 watchful armed marine patrol that continuously patrols the area of the island's surrounding waterways.

The most expensive residential sale in Miami-Dade County history was documented in Forbes Magazine in August 2012 with reference to a home that was sold on Indian Creek. These magnificent homes offer a variety of opulent features, including resort-style pools, poolside cabanas, rooftop jacuzzis, full-fledged spas, fitness centres, wine cellars, and entertainment theaters, all embellished with sumptuous furnishings and the finest accouterments, within this enclave of 41 opulent waterfront residences. The island's attractions include a top-rated 18-hole golf course that meanders through the island's interior with a few holes lining the waterfront, as well as an upscale country club.
The Surfside neighborhood, as well as the close proximity of Miami Beach's luxury dining options, conveniences, and the famed Bal Harbour Shops, are all just a short distance away and reachable. All this makes the island more luxurious and a fit for the billionaires residing. Indian Creek boasts an impressive collection of opulent mansions that exude extravagance, capture expansive views of Biscayne Bay and the Downtown Miami skyline, and hold a dominant position on both the South Florida area and the global stage.
