Best Spas in Bal Harbour

"1 Hotel South Beach is an eco-chic hotel boasting one of the most scenic poolscapes in Miami, as well as a rooftop pool. Spacious guest rooms, elegant décor, a spa, boot camp-style gym and multiple dining venues add to the appeal."

"Dining here is like closing your eyes and suddenly finding yourself in Paris. Located in the prestigious Biltmore Hotel, this stylish restaurant features the skills of Michelin star-nominated chef Gregory Pugin and James Beard, both of them continually striving to create dishes that will make you feel as if you were on the Champs Elysées. Their traditional recipes are in line with contemporary trends and are scrupulously crafted using the freshest local ingredients."

"Coral Gables has much to offer for those camera trigger fingers, but its crown jewel would be The Biltmore Hotel. Both famous and infamous in many ways, it sits proudly as the historical neighborhood’s most well-known destination. Whether you head there to hit a bucket, sit down to a sumptuous meal, or spend the day in a poolside cabana, it’s hard to find a corner that isn’t Instagram-worthy."

"The Biltmore Spa is housed on the seventh floor of one of Miami's grandest and oldest hotels, and offers a sweeping view of Coral Gables's lush canopy. The spa menu lists all the classics- Thai massages, Ayurvedic treatments, organic seaweed body wraps, acupuncture- but there's also an acne-avoiding spa menu for teens and a "manscaping" menu for well-groomed gents."

"Think of it as the place to go for a mix of recovery, hydrotherapy and luxury. There’s a Turkish-style hammam, aroma steam room, Roman waterfall hot tub, Finnish sauna, arctic plunge, mud lounge and infinity pool as well as treatment baths. And that’s not even counting the dozens of different treatments available, such as facials, massages, body scrubs and even nail art."

"The Standard Spa hotel boasts an inspired fitness and wellness programmes in its popular spa. It features a Turkish hammam, do-it-yourself hydrotherapy treatments, saunas, yoga rooms and a series of outdoor mud baths. The spacious lobby opens up to a labyrinthine zen garden with hanging chairs and fire pits hidden amidst the hedges."

"Locals love the stylish 15,000-square foot (1,394sqm) spa at this regal hotel, set on a manmade island close to Brickell. Book one of the six VIP treatment rooms overlooking Biscayne Bay, if you can, to experience the spa’s heavenly four-handed massage. The spa is also especially renowned for state-of-the-art facials, including ones using oxygen, light therapy and white caviar."

"Sophisticated rooms come with balconies, iPhone docks, free WiFi, and flat screen TVs. Upgraded suites also feature bars, kitchenettes, private chefs, and standalone bathtubs. Meanwhile, you won’t have to go far to find delicious food since there are two on-site restaurants, one offering Peruvian cuisine and one offering modern American fare."

"Surround yourself with a world of relaxation at this full-service spa. You will never want to leave your treatment room after you unwind with a 50-minute restorative massage, complete with a revitalizing body exfoliator, a soothing cucumber and chamomile eye treatment, a mineral-rich hair mask, and warm plant-based emollients and paraffin hand treatment ($99). The Mary’s Way facial afterglow is also a great way to disconnect from the world — it includes a skin analysis, a purifying dead sea mud mask, a hydrating hyaluronic serum, a brightening eye serum, and a CBD body oil treatment ($99)."

"Photo courtesy of Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. Nothing says luxury more than The Ritz-Carlton. This highly-esteemed hotel joined the stellar A-list, world-class properties along Fort Lauderdale Beach and brought their high standards to the many sophisticated travelers that arrive here each year."

"Located in the downtown area of Fort Lauderdale is the Broward Center for the Performing Arts which is a one-stop-shop if you want to check out some culture while you are in town. Here you will find a large theatre that hosts more than 700 shows per year and these include all genres such as ballets, musical concerts, operas, and even Broadway musicals."

"Ft Lauderdale shows they especially understand this with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. This is a tremendously beloved institution in Florida for live entertainment. More than half a million people have taken in entertainment at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts."

"Experience Miami’s world-class New World Symphony at the stunning New World Center performance hall, which was designed by Frank Gehry. You may be able to view a free Wallcast concert or a movie outside in the adjacent SoundScape Park, depending on the symphony’s schedule."

"Designed by Frank Gehry, this performance hall rises majestically out of a manicured lawn just above Lincoln Rd. Not unlike the ethereal power of the music within, the glass-and-steel facade encases... Beach in South Beach"

"A beachfront park on the historic Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Shaded seating area, picnic pavilions, playgrounds and an splash fountain for kids. It also has 6 fully restored, historic paddleball courts that have been a popular feature on Hollywood Beach since the 1930s."

"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."

"If anyone knows me they know that I believe in customer service. This place has that on lock. Ambience: this spot has a lounge type feel."
