South of Fifth Location
SoFi is the quiet-luxury end of South Beach: the marina and South Pointe Park at your door, the beach a short walk east, and the dining row along Alton Road and Ocean Drive minutes away. Murano Grande and the Portofino complex share the same bayfront stretch, making this one of Miami Beach’s most established luxury corridors.
Icon South Beach's bayfront position in SoFi gives residents both waterfronts: Biscayne Bay sunsets to the west, the Atlantic beach a short walk east. The condo-hotel format means the lobby restaurant and pool deck handle daily life, but South Pointe Park is close for morning walks. Joe's Stone Crab ($$$$) and Prime 112 ($$$$) anchor nearby dinners, and the Publix on West Avenue is minutes away. Rental-program owners like the proximity to Lincoln Road. Comparable condo-hotel plays include Mondrian South Beach and Setai.
