True, W South Beach (marriott.com) echoes the beating pulse of Miami—the scene, the style, the effortless cool. But this all-suite property delivers more than just a dynamic atmosphere; it’s a sophisticated take on the W brand, where wellness and design intersect—a vibrant escape with a grounding sense of comfort. Reimagined in recent years, the hotel’s aesthetic reflects a chill, beach-house vibe, with natural oak furnishings, coral and teal accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing Atlantic views. Every suite includes a balcony within sight of the ocean.

Wellness is intentionally woven into the experience. A poolside chalkboard and in-room QR code (look for a plaque that reads “Keys to the Castle”) reveal the property’s extensive daily programming, arguably the most of any resort on Miami Beach. Start your day, for example, with a complimentary yoga session or high-intensity interval training on The Lawn or AWAY Spa terrace (an outdoor space where daily fitness classes are led by instructors from local businesses Ahana Yoga Studio and Fitness by Dogpound).

Afterward, unwind at SAND on the beach or settle into a private cabana by the pool while DJs set the tone. On Thursday evenings the tempo slows with a cigar tasting under the stars, hosted by General Manager Rick Ueno—an easygoing start to a vibrant weekend.

The 9,540-square-foot AWAY Spa provides a rejuvenating escape. Earth tones and soft lighting set the mood for specialty treatments, from tension-releasing deep muscle work to detoxifying massages designed to energize the body. The couple’s suite, with its plush treatment beds and calming ambiance, creates the ideal setting for a shared experience.

Before your treatment, unwind in the eco-chic spa lounge, sipping on chlorophyll-infused water or botanical elixirs; after, head to the locker room for a eucalyptus-infused limestone steam shower.
