The Miami lifestyle is nonstop—beach, pool, boat, sun. It’s a tough existence. To keep up with the luxurious and glamorous who frolic our shorelines, it’s only a given that we check in for some R&R time to beautify and refresh. Luckily, this is a task made easy, considering the plethora of luxury oceanfront hotels that line Miami Beach with first-class spas nestled inside. These seven spas offer the best massages in Miami, relaxing and soothing your body in ways that a poolside lounge session could never.
Note: Some of these offerings may be discounted during Miami Spa Months.
