Some residences come with a club. Some come with a club bill. At Alba Palm Beach, here is how to tell which, and who controls the price.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
A mandatory membership is written into a recorded covenant or the declaration: owning the residence means paying the club’s dues, used or not. An optional one is offered to owners, sometimes ahead of the public, and can be declined. A beach club, a spa, a marina or a private dining club at Alba Palm Beach can sit under either model.
Alba Palm Beach: Sunrise pool overlooking the Intracoastal plus a sunset pool; luxury spa with sauna, steam and treatment room; Technogym fitness with yoga and Pilates; screening room; private dining room with climate-controlled wine storage and catering kitchen; owners’ great room, library and lounge; bocce court and lawn chess; pet spa; private dock with boat-slip access for owners; EV-ready covered garage; summer kitchens on all terraces.
Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
If the facilities are common elements, the association runs them and their cost sits in a budget the owners eventually control. If the developer, a hotel operator or a separate company owns the club, that owner sets dues, initiation fees and rules, and residents do not vote on them. The prospectus describes the recreational facilities and any fees or leases attached; read it against the club’s own papers.
Alba Palm Beach: No brand or operator is recorded for this building.
Alba Palm Beach: BGI Companies (developer) with Blue Road (co-developer).
Ask for every charge a club at Alba Palm Beach could carry: initiation, annual dues and how they rise, food and beverage minimums, guest fees, and any assessment of its own. Ask whether unpaid dues can become a lien on the residence, whether a family membership covers adult children and staff, and whether a tenant may use the club.
A mandatory membership passes with the residence, so the next buyer prices in the dues. An optional one may transfer for a fee, return to a waiting list or lapse. If the club is sold or closed, the covenant says what owners keep. The desk asks for the membership plan at Alba Palm Beach in writing and reads it with you before contract.
A club you must join is part of the price. Read its bill like one.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
