Special Invite's Top 4 U.S. Honeymoon Destinations

Fisher Island Miami: We'll we must admit, this place is so magnificent we wanted to keep it to ourselves but what fun would that be. Almost a 100 years ago during the creation of Miami Beach, real estate developer Carl Fisher set sites on a beautiful piece of land nestled between palm trees and the beautiful Biscayne Bay, and decided to also purchase this piece of land which we have now come to know as Fisher Island, which bears Carl Fisher name. Fisher Island is an exclusive world class private island that screams this is the good life. While the island is home to actual private residences, the island also boasts a beautiful hotel with a private beach and championship golf and tennis areas. Amenities range from a five star spa and fitness center, marina and yachting facilities, and some of the best restaurants in Miami. With the beautiful weather, perfect beach and private island environment Fisher Island is our top pick and #1 honeymoon get-away.
