Best Spas in Miami Gardens

"At the 1 Hotel South Beach rooftop pool — which is perched 18 stories above Miami Beach’s white sands — you feel precisely like that. For further unwinding, there are three other on-site pools, the Bamford Wellness Spa, and totally rad regular events like full moon rituals, spirit card readings, and dynamic flow yoga. If you book by March 31, you can get up to 35 percent off your stay (with flexible cancellation), and 1 Hotel will donate to the Housing Works nonprofit, which combats AIDS and homelessness."

"With low-lying lands and rising tides, Miami is on the frontline in the war against climate catastrophe. 1 Hotel South Beach is one establishment that knows its future depends on stopping the worst of global heating and is leading the charge in the eco-luxury sector. The hotel boasts an inspiring 300-foot “Living Wall” containing 11,000 varieties of local plants."

"An icon of Miami glitz and glamour, the Biltmore hosts the most famous brunch in the entire city. Once frequented by celebrities and socialites (think Judy Garland, Al Capone, the Vanderbilts and the Roosevelts), the hotel’s lavish courtyard is known for its Sunday brunch overflowing with a few of our favorites: Champagne, caviar, eggs Benedict and Belgian waffles. 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables; 305-913-3200 or biltmorehotel.com"

The Standard Spa at the always buzzy The Standard Miami Beach is like Goldilocks—it’s ultra-cool and stylish, but set far enough away from the hectic heart of SoBe to ensure it is still a relaxing oasis. In other words, it’s just right."

"Locals love the stylish 15,000-square foot (1,394sqm) spa at this regal hotel, set on a manmade island close to Brickell.

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."

"The building opened in 1925 and became a US National Historic Landmark in 2008.* It’s an impressive landmark. It first started as headquarters for the newspaper Miami News. It now is a contemporary art museum."
