Looking to beat the heat with a refreshing dip and a tropical drink? We’ve got you covered with a selection of Miami’s best pools. Just grab your swimwear and choose your spot!
The Setai, Miami Beach
Relax in style at this Five-Star hotel’s serene infinity pools. Whether you prefer a cool dip in the 75-degree lap pool, lounging in the 85-degree central pool, or staying toasty in the 90-degree family pool, there’s something for everyone. Each pool area is distinct, thanks to strategic hedges, yet all offer towels, water, and magazine service. Don’t miss out on the tropical coconut drinks for the full experience. Visit early or late to enjoy stunning sunrise or sunset views.
South Beach SLS
Experience the fusion of South Beach nightlife and Hollywood glamour at this chic Collins Avenue resort’s 8,000-square-foot oceanfront club. Perfect for a Miami Beach pool party, it offers sushi and ceviche from Katsuya, refreshing cucumber-watermelon margaritas, and bottle service, all with live DJ tunes. Hyde Beach welcomes the public Monday to Friday with a cocktail or lunch purchase.
1 Hotel South Beach
For a tranquil escape, head to the Cabana Pool at this Four-Star eco-friendly resort. Nestled on the third floor amidst lush South Florida greenery and a reclaimed wood terrace, it’s a peaceful haven away from the South Beach bustle, complete with panoramic ocean views. Non-hotel guests can rent a cabana to unwind by the pool, enjoying attentive full-service waitstaff delivering meals and drinks throughout the day.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach
This iconic Collins Avenue destination, recommended by Forbes Travel Guide, offers eight pool options right by the Atlantic Ocean. Highlights include the 614-foot bowtie pool, a nod to famed architect Morris Lapidus, a shallow family pool with a waterslide, and Arkadia Day Club’s adults-only pool and hot tubs. With around 1,000 lounge chairs, we suggest reserving a private cabana for the ultimate experience, complete with a dedicated attendant serving delightfully cool rosé sangria or blood orange margaritas.
