Best Spas in West Little River

"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."

"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."

"When it was completed, it was the tallest building in Florida at the time. It’s built in a Mediterranean style and was used as a hospital during World War II. It was designated National Historic Landmark in 1966.* Make sure to go all around the hotel to get the best shots!"

"The cozy restaurant with a Mediterranean flair demonstrates the carefully thought-out tasting menus of chef Gregory Pugin. Working in the tradition of French cuisine, Pugin rethinks classic dishes from cakes to terrines, modernly processing fresh seasonal ingredients."

"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."

"Featuring a full-service spa, this adult-only Miami Beach hotel also boasts rooms with a view of the garden, Intracoastal Waterway, or outdoor pool. Guests will be 12 minutes' walk to Lincoln Road ..."

"Mandarin Oriental, Miami presents a Peruvian gastronomic extravaganza with dozens of authentic dishes, from ceviches to traditional street foods and an endless Pisco sour (or champagne, depending on your mood). Work past the food coma with a stroll through Little Havana, the core of Miami’s Hispanic community. Originally a Cuban neighborhood, Little Havana is now a melting pot of Latin American immigrants. It’s neither polished nor particularly pretty, but it’s a glimpse into real life in Spanish-speaking Miami and a place to watch Cuba’s old guard face off over dominos in Maximo Gomez Park; grab a 50 cent cortadito (a shot of Cuban coffee with steamed milk) from a walk-up window; and watch cigar rollers hand roll stogies at family-run factories."

"The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami Photo: Courtesy Mandarin Oriental, George Apostolidis. The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami strikes that hard-to-find balance of having something for everyone while avoiding a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all experience. So even if you choose a signature body treatment like the Oriental Essence or Therapeutic Massage—both of which blend Chinese, European, Balinese, and Thai techniques—the results will be highly personalized."

"One of the best massages in Fort Lauderdale can be found at Planet Massage!. Tucked away on the back side of Las Olas Boulevard, the Fort Lauderdale location of this regional chain offers renowned pain and stress solutions. In addition to this day spa’s long list of massage services, there are in-home appointments available with traveling therapists."

"Fort Lauderdale's rich history for African-Americans is presented in this inspiring museum. Many of the honors that are due to pioneers in the African-American community in Broward County are not recorded, but it is here through exhibits and lectures and special events that visitors and locals can learn more of this interesting and exciting chapter of local history. Built in 1924, this was the region's lone African-American school for children during segregation."

"This Wynwood spot serves up Cuban coffee and small bites like empanadas, croquetas, and sweet items. The space is modeled after a paladar — aka a small restaurant that can be found inside someone’s private home in Cuba — complete with a welcome mat at its entrance, to the plush furniture seating found inside this coffee shop, Cuban tiles, and even its own piece of the Wynwood Walls with a mural of Cuban queen, Celia Cruz outside its front door. Open for takeout, indoor and outdoor dining, and delivery."

"Restaurants Coffee shops Midtown. Modeled after a traditional paladar (small restaurants hidden in private homes in Cuba), Suite Habana serves real-deal Cuban espresso, plus Latin bites like empanadas and croquetas. You’ll also find modernized caffeine drinks, such as oat cortado made with Tu Café coffee and oat milk."

"Suite Habana Cafe is an amazing, and extremely friendly environment to come in, have the best coffee in town and work on your laptop while chit chatting...."

"The whimsical ice cream shop by longtime Robuchon protégé, Salvatore Martone, will be offering Valentine’s Day ice cream desserts that embrace the spirit of love. Almost too beautiful to eat, Martone has created heart-shaped “cakesicles” (cake ice cream popsicles), which will be available in red velvet cake, chocolate and mango passion flavors. In addition to the specialty treats, Frohzen also offers its popular red velvet cake ice cream in full ice cream cakes as well as ice cream cupcakes topped with cream cheese soft serve frosting."

"If you’re wondering how Frohzen got to serving such photogenic ice cream, look no further than Salvatore Martone, Le Jardinier’s executive pastry chef and a longtime protégé of the late Joël Robuchon. With a pedigree like his, whimsy and creativity are to be expected. Frohzen’s house-made ice cream is presented as sundaes with a flurry of toppings, frozen cupcakes with swirls of frosting and even macaron ice cream sandwiches—a very fancy option that we’re very much into."

"Restaurants Coffee shops Coral Gables. This Gables favorite welcomes folks of all stripes: hip artists, businessmen on lunch break and viejos looking for something to sip on. You can opt for a sit-down lunch (a delicious one, at that) or grab your coffee to-go.Cafe Demetrio has a selection of wild creations like a salted caramel mocha alongside reliable favorites like your classic cortadito."

"Coffee and chess are the two most popular pastimes at Café Demetrio in Coral Gables. As one of Coral Gable’s first coffee houses, this quaint coffee shop and eatery was opened back in the early 1990’s by Demetrio and Vilma Pena. They were always big coffee lovers and dreamed of opening a place where patrons could come, relax in the Florida sunshine, and spend the afternoon playing chess with friends."

"For a quick breakfast or a leisurely meal, fuel up at this hip cafe and you'll be ready for a day of sightseeing, shopping, or business meetings. The cozy, comfortable room is perfect for perusing the morning paper or meeting up with friends. Or grab a table outside and relax as you enjoy an excellent cappuccino, espresso, or the favorite of the house, the Frappuccino Demetrio."
