The Pillars at New River Sound

Summary

The Pillars at New River Sound offers two exceptional locations in one: it faces the Intracoastal Waterway with its thousands of colourful pleasure craft; turn around and you’re just 150 metres from a palm-lined promenade and the Atlantic.

Widely known as the ‘Venice of the United States’, Fort Lauderdale has 256 kilometres of palm-fringed man-made waterways. This is one of America’s great boating playgrounds, set among beautiful flamingos and butterfly sanctuaries with the Bahamas just a return day-trip away.

The Pillars has the look of a plantation house: white shutters, white-pillared verandas and flowering trellises. Interiors are a pot-pourri of classic and cane, gorgeous fabrics, eclectic bric-a-brac, heaps of comfort and, to cap it all, a harp in the lobby. A luxury beach home with bags of charm.
