Vi at Aventura Introduces a New 360-Degree Approach to Well-Being
Well-being can take many meaningful forms. At Vi at Aventura, a retirement community located just north of Miami, it takes shape through enriching travel, innovative brain vitality experiences and thoughtfully curated opportunities for lifelong learning. It’s all part of Vista 360 Well-Being, Vi’s new approach to wellness that places good living at the center of every day.
Wellness That’s More Than What’s On Your Plate
At Vi at Aventura, Vista is woven through many aspects of community life. Inspired by residents’ passions and priorities, it helps bring connection, fulfillment and freedom into everyday experiences.
“No matter your age, it’s important to be challenged and inspired every day,” said Executive Director Vladimir Sautier. “Our goal is for every single one of our residents to have opportunities to grow as individuals.”
While amenities like Vi at Aventura’s chef-driven culinary program and state-of-the-art fitness center play a role in the community’s commitment to wellness, bespoke “Signature Experiences” are what truly bring Vista to life.
“We’ve developed special opportunities for our residents to make the most of every day. There’s a lot of excitement around Vista,” said Sautier.
Signature Experiences That Engage and Inspire
Vista is anchored by three Signature Experiences: Vista Explore, Vista Enrich, and Vista Discover. Together, they offer residents meaningful ways to explore new places, nurture cognitive health and engage in continued learning through expert-led experiences — each bringing a different dimension of well-being into focus.
Vista Explore is centered on travel and exploration. From curated local outings to once-in-a-lifetime trips abroad through Vi’s trusted travel partner, Orbridge, residents can enjoy travel experiences that fit their passions. Upcoming journeys include a rail adventure in the Canadian Rockies and a luxury river cruise through southern Provence, with additional 2027 destinations being planned based on resident input. The goal? To deepen connections, broaden horizons and inspire a sense of discovery.
Vista Enrich takes a cutting-edge approach to brain vitality, drawing on Vi’s partnership with the Pacific Neuroscience Institute (PNI) to offer evidence-based experiences for caring for the mind. Through workshops, brain-health nutrition and other innovative tools such as exergaming — interactive technology that combines exercise with gaming — residents can explore new ways to stay engaged and nurture continued vitality.
Finally, Vista Discover connects residents with experts across a variety of fields for elevated, experiential learning opportunities, from chef-led cooking demos and wine tastings to fitness classes and lectures at local universities.
“One learning experience we recently hosted was Haiti Cultural Immersion Week,” said community Lifestyle Director Maia Mediavilla. “We planned something for every day, from a cultural lecture and Haitian cooking demonstration to a meal and a performance from acclaimed musician Inez Barlatier. Residents also enjoyed a private, docent-led visit to the Haitian Heritage Museum in Miami, where they learned about Haiti’s history and stories behind the featured artwork and artists.
“It was an opportunity for residents to not just learn something new, but to experience another culture firsthand and spark their curiosity.”
The Foundation for Good Living
Vista reflects what has long been central to life at Vi at Aventura. With resort-inspired amenities, plentiful social opportunities and tenured staff to help manage everyday chores, life at the community is thoughtfully designed to support meaningful experiences, deep connections and lifelong well-being.
Residents of Vi at Aventura know that making the most of today starts with having a thoughtful plan in place for the future. Here, independent living comes with the reassurance of on-site care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, should it ever be needed.
And while some rentals in the area may offer on-site care at fluctuating market rates, Vi at Aventura is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means the cost of care is built into residents’ monthly fees. This provides greater financial predictability and long-term value, so residents are free to focus on enjoying the community’s uniquely vibrant lifestyle.
Rethinking Wellness, Rethinking Retirement
While Vista ushers in a new era for Vi at Aventura, a commitment to staying on the forefront of aging well — and reimagining what senior living can be — has always been at the heart of the community.
Said Mediavilla, “Senior living isn’t about slowing down. Our community opens doors for residents to keep pursuing what they love while discovering new interests along the way. Vista builds on that, creating new opportunities to make life feel even more rewarding.”
