A newly listed waterfront villa in Miami Beach offers a rare ownership structure: a fully private, standalone residence that comes with the services and amenities of a five-star hotel.
Offered exclusively to Fancy Pants Homes, the property at 1031 W 48th St, Villa Collection #6 is one of just six single-family homes connected to the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach.
Priced at $9.249 million, the modern villa features more than 4,200 square feet of interior space, private outdoor living areas, and direct Intracoastal frontage.
Unlike traditional branded residences, which typically take the form of condominiums, this home stands independently — offering both privacy and access to one of hospitality’s most recognizable luxury brands. Listing agent Ryan Kelly of Douglas Elliman represents the property.
One of only six standalone Ritz-Carlton villas in Miami Beach

The Villa Collection consists of just six standalone residences, making it one of the smallest and most exclusive branded residential offerings in Miami Beach.
These homes differ significantly from the condominium residences in the main building. Each villa is fully detached, with its own structure, entrance, and outdoor spaces.

At the same time, ownership includes full privileges at the Ritz-Carlton Residences next door, creating a hybrid model that combines single-family ownership with hotel-level support and services.


Designed by Piero Lissoni with a two-story modern layout
Completed in 2022, the two-story home 1031 W 48th Street, 6 was designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, known for his work across luxury hospitality and residential projects worldwide.




Four bedrooms and five baths across an open floor plan
The residence includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms arranged across an open floor plan. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls bring natural light deep into the interior spaces and connect the home visually to the surrounding waterfront setting.
Interior finishes include cabinetry and fixtures from Boffi, Gaggenau, and Fantini, reinforcing the home’s contemporary design.





Full access to Ritz-Carlton amenities including spa, marina, and dining
Ownership includes full use of the Ritz-Carlton Residences’ amenity collection located nearby. These include:
- Spa and wellness facilities
- Cabana-style infinity-edge pool
- Fitness center and golf simulator
- On-site restaurants
- Marina access


Exterior maintenance, landscaping, and insurance coverage are also handled through the homeowners association.
Private pool and outdoor living areas extend the interior footprint
The home includes a private pool positioned within its own enclosed outdoor space, along with multiple terraces designed for dining and entertaining.

These areas function as natural extensions of the interior living spaces, allowing for outdoor use throughout much of the year.

The property’s gated layout adds another layer of privacy, separating it from neighboring residences.
A dock with 60 feet of direct Intracoastal frontage
One of the property’s defining features is its private dock, which includes 60 feet of direct frontage along the Intracoastal Waterway.
This allows for immediate boat access, making the home well-suited for owners who want to keep a vessel on site.

The waterfront positioning also enhances views from both interior and exterior living areas.
Gated entry, garage parking, and a secure waterfront setting
The property includes a gated entrance, a two-car garage, and two additional driveway spaces.
This setup provides both security and convenience, particularly in a waterfront environment where privacy is often a priority.
The home’s position within the Villa Collection adds another level of separation from surrounding properties.

A rare ownership model combining standalone living with hotel-level support
Villa Collection #6 at the Ritz Carlton Residences represents a distinct segment of Miami Beach real estate.
While branded residences have become increasingly common, standalone homes that include full access to hotel services remain rare.

With modern design, direct waterfront access, and integration into the Ritz-Carlton infrastructure, the property offers a living arrangement that combines private homeownership with hospitality-level amenities — all within one of Miami Beach’s most established luxury developments.
