Dial up the romance this Valentine’s Day with the sound of crashing waves, rays of golden sunshine and a scintillating couple’s spa experience, among other delectable delights found only in the resort paradise that is Miami. After all, Miami is where the magic happens. These Miami hotel packages are bringing the heat for a sexy Valentine’s Day like no other, ensuring that you and your S.O. are feeling extra loved and appreciated on the holiday of amor and affection. Stop what you’re doing and book a staycation to woo your boo, stat.
No need to pack your bags for this retreat, because the Sag(Amour) Package comes equipped with a fully stocked closet of luxury head-to-toe looks for each of the three nights included in your stay. A local celebrity stylist has assembled the most desirable resort looks, swimwear, nighttime dresses, shoes and handbags for you to impress your lucky guy, but rest assured, your presence will be all he needs. This $30,000 rendezvous is designed for the man who puts no price on love and the lady whose love language is glitz and glam…did we mention the four-hour yacht experience?
Transport your love to sea as you enjoy champagne on ice and fresh caviar aboard a magnificent yacht, complete with a master bedroom and ample privacy.
The Gabriel South Beach package is all about satisfying your love language, even if it happens to encompass all five of them. Step into your romantic bundle to find welcome goodies such as chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of rosé, as well as a smattering of sticky notes on the bathroom mirror with words of affirmation. Who doesn’t love being told how amazing and perfect they are? To top it off, couples will be treated to a copy of The Adventure Challenge book and a camera to capture the inspired surprises that will follow. Bask in the romance of a private dinner and dance on the hotel’s rooftop, and conclude the night with lingerie, candles, essential massage oils, Dom Perignon and movies awaiting you in the room.
Soak up the sun on your own private balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Fontainebleau’s famous poolscape in the “La Ciel” Oceanfront Suite. As you roam around your 950-square-foot abode in the sky, mentally plan out tonight’s look at Hakkasan, the award-winning Cantonese destination soaked in moody blue hues at the Fontainebleau since well over a decade.
Book a sun-drenched studio complete with a king bed, spacious balcony and kitchenette to spend V-Day in a home away from home. If you and your boo are fitness freaks, you’ll devour the endless opportunities to stay in shape at the W South Beach with the Design District favorite Ahana Yoga and celeb-loved Dogpound residencies at your fingertips. Don your cutest fit and engage in some lighthearted sparring on the rooftop tennis court. Even your pup can get a taste of the romance with the specially curated P.A.W. program, ensuring your four-legged friend is never left behind.
The Kimpton Shorebreak is going all out in the name of love this season. With the Amore Mio package, couples will be welcomed with heaping doses of loving, starting with chocolates and limoncello at check-in and continuing with a rose petal spread adorning their suite. Included in the two-night package is a couple’s massage at Heavenly Spa (near the hotel grounds) and a Riverfront Gondola Tour that comes with a goodie-filled picnic basket—think wine, charcuterie and all that jazz. Come nightfall, couples will delight in a candlelit Italian feast at La Fuga along with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne Brut.
Treat yourself to the gift of self-love at Shelborne South Beach, where V-Day includes a trio of GUYandGIRL spa services: the GUYandGIRL Organic Facial, the GUYandGIRL Reset Body Scrub and a Champagne Toast Couples massage. For heightened relaxation, couples can head back to the room to enjoy a warm bath with rose petals and Lush bath bombs, followed by breakfast in bed the next morning.
Luxury is redefined at the Acqualina Resort & Residences in Sunny Isles, where the dining and accommodations reach soaring heights of excellence. The ultimate spa package for two includes an oceanfront room or suite, a $1,000 spa credit, a spa lunch for two and all of the five-star amenities that come with a stay at Acqualina. It doesn’t get more old-school romantic than a dine at the legendary Italian mainstay Il Mulino New York or the high-end Greek island paradise Avra Miami. For an extra intimate gastronomic experience, book a beachfront dinner steps away from the waves where you’ll be wined and dined with a four-course meal prepared by Acqualina’s talented chefs.
Experience a true getaway in the luxe enclave that is Bal Harbour, where the high-end designer shops of the tropical open-air mall are calling your name. Back at the St. Regis, a glistening 1,000-foot strip of white sand and crystalline waters await, as well as an oceanfront day villa should you and your S.O. desire some added privacy. After a day of retail and beach therapy, pamper yourselves at the St. Regis Spa to revitalize your mind and body before the evening’s festivities, featuring the hotel brand’s iconic champagne-sabering ritual and live music at the St. Regis Bar and Wine Vault.
