Lapis Spa
Fontainebleau Miami Beach
Ocean-inspired treatments and luxurious relaxation areas lead the charge here at Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau Miami Beach. From the eucalyptus steam baths to mineral pools to the rain tunnel, it will be easy to spend an entire afternoon lounging in complete bliss. Opt for a traditional stone massage and body treatment or transform your complexion via facials, such as the Three Layer Cool Peel (a medical-grade peel for radiant skin); Cosmetic Micro Needling to stimulate collagen; or the heavy-duted Stacked Anti-Aging Treatment that combines micro-needling, micro-dermabrasion, the aforementioned cool peel and a quick dose of oxygen for dull skin. There’s also the Lapis Hammam Baths here that help to restore tired muscles and increase well-being through aromatherapy, eucalyptus and pine and warm water.

Spa
The Miami Beach EDITION
The Miami Beach EDITION might be known for its wild pool parties but once you step foot in its neutral-hued, ambient-lit spa (think: whispy white curtains, fragrant candles, deep couches and dimly lit walkways) you will forget about all the hoopla happening outside. Its multiple treatment rooms are awash in white and pale gold allowing you to focus on nothing else but tranquility. The spa offers Ayurvedic treatments, massages, body scrubs and facials, therapy baths and hair and scalp treatments, as well as makeup and mani/pedis. The hotel has a state-of-the-art fitness center with machines, free weights and plenty of room for stretching, and also offers fitness classes and a lap pool. Take advantage of the jogging and biking trails that surrounds the property or book surfing lessons.

ESPA Spa
Acqualina Hotel & Resort
Royal Spa Suite
The quietest hotel on the list, Acqualina Hotel & Resort in Miami is a more family-friendly luxurious resort. If it’s a more toned-down weekend you crave, this is the place to bring the kids for a weekend filled with fun. While here, you’re not to miss the ESPA Spa at Acqualina Resort which boasts more than 20,000 sq ft of treatment rooms, water rituals, lounges and special-occasion suites (like the Royal Spa Suite). We love the HydraFacial MD facial, which cleanses, extracts and hydrates in one go, or indulge in a tailored treatment. Whichever room you’re in or treatment you choose, you will have incredible views of the sparkling ocean. After your treatment (be in a massage or De-Stress Spa Journey), unwind in the Himalayan salt room or relax in the outdoor Jacuzzi with a Roman waterfall. The spa also serves healthy cuisine, juices and beverages for an all-around wellness-focused day.
