Explore ultra-luxury holidays in Miami

Let’s explore some of the best Miami luxury hotels and the finest suites.

The theatrical and grand Faena Hotel Miami Beach was creatively consulted by famous director Baz Luhrmann. Statement gold and royal reds adorn the walls, as well as art-deco pieces that explode with colour. Something majestic and extravagant is everywhere you look, like the woolly mammoth skeleton that’s been dipped in 24 karat gold overlooking the beach or the Damien Hirst sculpture; it’s a treasure trove of wonders.

You can escape to the Tierra Santa Healing House spa for pampering treatments, experience the Saxony Theatre or just soak up the rays by the inviting pool. 

Plush red velvet sofas, animal prints aplenty and vanity desks with oversized lamps fill your suite. The Penthouse Suite is pure opulence which even has a grand piano overlooking the ocean. 

Located in a more serene location away from the hustle and bustle of South Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami, is on a beautiful island south of downtown Miami. Nestled between the stunning nature preserves, Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. There are a plethora of stunning pools to explore, like the lagoon styles that are truly heaven on Earth. The peaceful spa invites you to refresh and invigorate with an array of lush treatments. 

The contemporary rooms have a palette of pale blues and cream and sand-coloured furnishings throughout. For the ultimate elegant room, book the Presidential Suite for unparalleled ocean views from your balcony. It's also one of the most sustainable luxury hotels in Miami!

The modern and glamourous W South Beach is one of the most elegant places to stay in Miami. You’re in the heart of the action, close to the most popular nightclubs and restaurants. W South Beach is sophisticated with Mongolian fur-covered chairs, plush purple leather seats and big brass screens.

The onsite club means there's a more ‘party’ vibe, but it’s refined. The tranquil spa allows you to reinvigorate your body and soul with a plethora of treatments. Rooms are spacious and luxurious, with crisp white and grey decor, mirrored surfaces, and magnificent chandeliers. 

There are so many ultra-luxury experiences in Miami to uncover. We’ve rounded up some of the most magical things to do on your vacation to the Magic City.
