For a little decadence
- Faena Miami Beach is the opposite of the usual cool white tones of Miami luxury stays. Here late-deco style is seen in all its glory. Decadent and just a tad eccentric. Boasting its own stretch of beach, a lively bar, and excellent dining options. A unique Miami beach stay.
- If you have not already heard about The Villa Casa Casuarina it is really a destination unto itself. Styled by Versace, and once his home, this is a place of pure exuberance. A treasure trove of remarkable handmade furniture, stained glass windows, murals, and over-the-top everything!
For families

- Acqualina Resort & Spa is an all round hotel. For adults, there is a spa and a choice of three pools (meaning you can get some peace and quiet). For children, there are activities galore including educational marine biology programs. The best family suites have kitchens. Idyllic for a family break.
- Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is a 1930s classic, renowned as a family-friendly destination. The spa and grand champagne bar ensure an indulgent stay, children will be kept busy in the Kids Club, and the Italian restaurant will be a hit with everyone!
- The Miami Beach EDITION has chic contemporary design and a perfect beachside location. However, the real lure is the facilities. From a bowling alley to an ice skating rink and evening outdoor cinema too - there is truly something for the whole family here.
For the spa

- Mandarin Oriental Miami is located just minutes from downtown and boasts its own exclusive beach access. Expect all the luxury trimmings here, but it is the spa that really stands out: spanning three-storeys, therapists use ancient Chinese, Ayurvedic, European, Balinese and Thai techniques and wellness plans are individually crafted. A rejuvenating stay.
