Serena Williams’ bespoke Miami mansion where she’ll spend retirement – tour
Serena Williams has announced her shock retirement from tennis so she can concentrate on her family, husband Alexis Ohanian and their daughter Olympia. The star is looking to spend more time at home in Miami – and her gorgeous residence is the perfect place to retreat to.
The tennis pro turned to sister Venus’ interior design firm V Starr to create her dream, minimalist home but revealed that her husband actually had no input in the design process. “We had just met,” Serena told Architectural Digest of Alexis. “And I wasn’t going to be like, ‘Hey, let’s do this together.’ That would have been really weird for him.”
Serena added: “I was moving away from Venus for the first time in my life, so I wanted it to be really meaningful.” Her modern house boasts a hidden karaoke room, a trophy room, an infinity pool and a wine cellar “the size of a small NYC apartment” but surprisingly there is no tennis court as she explained she “wanted to separate home from work”. Take a look at where the Wimbledon star lives…
The kitchen has white walls, black cupboards and a white island unit, with a modern, angular dining table attached to the back. Two chairs were positioned in front of the table, and the room was finished off with gold accents, including the lights, splashback tiles and the trim on the giant fridge.

The flooring continued from her kitchen into the dining room, which has a table with enough seating for eight guests. The space is similarly minimalistic, with white walls and cream curtains – but the main feature is the selection of gold, black, brown and grey pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling.
