About National Park Week
This week, we proudly celebrate National Park Week. National Park Week is a presidentially proclaimed period to celebrate America's park treasures. In South Florida, we are fortunate to be home to two of those national treasures including, Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park. Both of these gems are truly unique in their physical aspects, natural characteristics and its inhabitants. Hop on over to their websites by clicking below to learn more about them:

Thalatta Estate Park
Today, we're featuring Thalatta Estate. This sprawling property of more than four acres offers unobstructed views of Biscayne National Park, a haven of herons, pelicans, marine iguanas and other plant and wildlife common to the protected mangroves of the South Miami-Dade coastline.

With its historic significance in South Florida and stunning bayside location, Thalatta Estate is a unique setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony, reception, or special event. Find out how this 1925 Mediterranean-Revival Estate is the perfect setting for creating timeless memories.
Nestled on the shores of Biscayne Bay, on nostalgic Old Cutler Road, in the Village of Palmetto Bay, stands Thalatta Estate. A historic gem that retains the glamour and sophistication of South Florida's aristocracy of the previous century. Thalatta Estate Park was acquired by the Village of Palmetto Bay in 2007 in an unprecedented effort to ensure its preservation. The multimillion dollar acquisition only cost Palmetto Bay taxpayers $200,000, as the remainder of the funds were provided through various grants received by the Village.

Today, this vintage mansion serves a prominent role in the community as a unique park for outdoor weddings as well as an event and program venue providing a natural conservation area. Your guests will take a pause as they arrive through a grand coral rock walled entrance to witness a stunning two-story Mediterranean estate and majestic banyan tree flanked by a quaint Carriage House.

The 1920's Main House, with its beautiful fireplace, original Cuban tile floors, upstairs lounging quarters, offers spectacular views of the sprawling estate grounds and Key Biscayne to the east. The charming two-story Carriage House has been modernized to include park offices, a well equipped prep kitchen for catering, restrooms, and upstairs lounge area. To further enhance this perfect setting for your special day is a covered terrace, reflection pool, grand staircase from the second floor of the Main House, to an outdoor dining terrace, waterside promenade, ceremony site and lush tropical landscaping.

This elegant and picturesque venue also hosts many educational programs. Our special events include our annual Bridal Expo, Father's Day Antique Auto Show, high profile commercial filming and photography. Thalatta Estate, the namesake given to the property by his original owner, is the ideal location for you to enjoy reading a book by the water or celebrate and enjoy an unforgettable event.
