Tranquil beaches. Abundant culture. World-class shopping and dining. Miami-Dade County is, no doubt, an ideal setting for a vacation-like retirement. But only one community in Aventura offers everything seniors need to fill each day with rewarding experiences, social connection and as much free time as they choose. And only one community offers Vista 360 Well-Being, a new panoramic approach to wellness. That place is called Vi at Aventura — a vibrant independent living community that offers a continuum of on-site care, should the need arise.
A gateway to adventure and enrichment 
Vi at Aventura
While there’s plenty to do without leaving Vi at Aventura, residents soak up everything the region offers—from morning yoga and coffee with friends to group outings at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center, nearby beaches or the Aventura Mall, followed by happy hour and an elegant dinner with neighbors at one of The Vi’s restaurants.
It’s a perfect backdrop for a life that’s both laid-back and luxurious. Through Vista, wellness extends beyond fitness and food to include connection, fulfillment and freedom in everyday life. At the heart of the program are “Signature Experiences”—regular, curated opportunities for discovery, adventure and enrichment.
With Vista Explore, residents may enjoy everything from trips abroad to behind-the-scenes local experiences. Vista Discover gives residents access to a variety of elevated learning opportunities with experts. And Vista Enrich keeps residents at the forefront of brain vitality with cognitive health training, brain-healthy nutrition, exergaming and more.
Less maintenance = Vacation mindset
One thing that sets Vi at Aventura apart among local senior living options: seasoned staff who are always happy to lend a helping hand. Valet and concierge service.
Maintenance and light housekeeping. It eases everyday burdens so residents can focus on the important things.
“We pride ourselves on providing a place where residents can say goodbye to the stress of home upkeep and focus on what they love,” says Executive Director Vladimir Sautier.
Residents are also free from concerns about the rising costs of insurance and HOA fees for condo owners in South Florida, bringing predictability — and the freedom that comes with it — to their lives.
Vi at Aventura Amenities worthy of a five-star resort
Living at Vi at Aventura is akin to living at a resort with all the amenities you need to live your best life, like a salt-filtered indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center and salon and spa on-site.
For dining, residents enjoy a spectrum of options, from casual grab-and-go to fine dining. The culinary program prides itself in the details, like a curated wine list, handcrafted desserts and a focus on scratch cooking.
Vi at Aventura As busy as they want to be
Vi at Aventura’s Lifestyle Department supports residents in renewing lifelong passions and pursuing new ones. From forming a community cheer squad to picking up painting, life at The Vi opens up experiences many residents never even imagined.
“That’s the great thing about The Vi”, says resident Susan Shovers, whose online video series Cooking with Bubbe is produced with help from the Lifestyle Department. “If you have an idea or you want to try something, you can do it.”
Residents also enjoy a remarkably social atmosphere. From the camaraderie of group fitness classes to group excursions, enriching social opportunities abound.
“That’s one of the most important things we were looking for,” says Carol Ures, who, along with her husband, Frank, has lived at Vi at Aventura for seven years. “A place that we could meet with friends, enjoy dinner together, play cards, have fun.”
A plan for tomorrow to make the most of today
Residents of Vi at Aventura know that the key to making the most of today is having aplan in place for future care, should they ever need it.
Here, independent living comes with the reassurance of on-site assisted living, memorycare, skilled nursing and rehabilitation. And while some rentals in the area do offer on-site care at fluctuating market rates, as a Continuing Care Retirement Community(CCRC), the cost of care at Vi at Aventura is built into residents’ monthly fees, providing greater financial predictability and long-term value.
As resident Cara Gardner put it, “I wanted to be somewhere I could live for the rest of my life, where my needs could be taken care of directly on campus.”
The perfect place to make every day a getaway Vi at Aventura offers easy, elevated living in the epicenter of South Florida. It makes retirement the ultimate vacation, exactly what Carol Ures and her husband Frank were looking for.
“Moving to The Vi has given us a lot more freedom,” she said.
