Originally built in the 1920's by William and Rosamund Vanderbilt
as their splendid winter estate, Fisher Island has enjoyed a long, storied
history of entertaining the luminaries of its time. Today, 75 years later,
it has been restored to its former grandeur. And in the process it has become
a world-class private island residential community.
Much has been written about Fisher Island, but perhaps nothing
more telling than this tribute from Vogue magazine:
"Fisher Island is centered on the former mansion of
William K. Vanderbilt, a 1920's confection used for wintering by the great
grandson of the Commodore. There is no mistaking this island for any other
land form."
From the lovely Vanderbilt Mansion's main Club, its charming
ocean side private Beach Club and other intimate restaurants, its superb
Mediterranean-inspired Tennis Center, its lovely circa 1925 cottages and
guest suite houses, its elaborate deep-sea water marinas, stunning championship
golf course and spectacular Spa Internazionale, its distinguished residents
. . . truly there is no other land quite like Fisher Island.
Guests of The Fisher Island Hotel & Resort reside in
faithfully restored Vanderbilt-era Cottages, luxurious one-bedroom Villa
Suites with sitting rooms, private patios and hot tubs and spacious one-and
two-bedroom Seaside Villas overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent to
the private Beach Club.
Tennis
Ranked as the finest grand slam tennis facility of its kind
in the world by Tennis Magazine, Fisher Island's Tennis Center consists of
18 lighted Har-Tru clay, grass and hard courts. The Tennis Center also features
a center court where tournaments are staged, plus a delightful terrace with
a snack bar and attractive pro-shop.
