Head straight to South Beach (SoBe), where Miami's most iconic hotels—Art Deco treasures and contemporary stunners—line an endless expanse of fine white sand. For extravagant luxury, book Casa Casuarina, the former home of designer Gianni Versace, now an ultra-exclusive VIP guesthouse. Seeking refined elegance? The Setai masterfully fuses sophisticated décor, Asian-inspired touches, and impeccable service. Its three temperature-varied pools invite pure relaxation, living up to the motto "to be, rather than to appear," a welcome respite from the glitzy, high-energy scene next door. The brunch alone justifies the journey, with French chef Mathias Gervais's summer truffle-infused delights surprising even the most discerning palates. A South Beach staple.
