Elaborate suites with private oceanfront balconies, soaking tubs and showers meant for two. Adults-only pools and cabana hideaways. Pampering spa days spent side-by-side. And top-notch restaurants and hot spots meant for date-night toasting. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway in Greater Miami & Miami Beach so you can relax and connect with that special someone, grab your loved one for a stay at the destination’s most-romantic hotels.

Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach
It’s easy to fall in love with the romantic backdrop and posh amenities tailored to couples at Acqualina Resort & Residences On The Beach in Sunny Isles Beach. The luxurious beachfront resort is a Forbes 5-Star hotel that feels like a private seaside mansion. Steal away to one of the expansive rooms or suites, purposefully designed for couples with glass-enclosed balconies that overlook the turquoise ocean, soaking tubs for bubble baths, and showers with windows showcasing the water views. Lovebirds can escape to the adults-only pool and hide out in a private cabana; book a spa treatment in the Royal Spa Suite in the Aqualina Spa (which features a two-person steam shower and a private lounge where you can sip bubbly and share sweet treats); or kick back on one of the red daybeds situated in the St. Tropez-style “living room” on the beach. You can even book a romantic beachfront dinner under the stars.
Highlights: Adults-only pool, oceanfront suites, soaking tubs, couples spa treatments

The Setai Miami Beach
With Asian-style serenity and seductive spaces, The Setai Miami Beach, a MICHELIN two-key hotel in South Beach, is one of the most exotic hotels in Miami. Many of its spacious suites flaunt dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean along with perks like black-terrazzo soaking tubs and rainfall showers. Couples will have a hard time deciding which of its three climate-controlled pools to frequent, and Valmont for The Spa at The Setai is a place for indulging in Balinese-inspired massages. While there are several excellent on-property dining choices, Jaya’s lush outdoor courtyard is a feast for the senses. Enjoy live entertainment nightly while dining on specialties like Peking duck and truffle dumplings.
Highlights: Exotic ambiance, romance-inducing soaking tubs, indulgent spa

Faena Hotel Miami Beach
Slip into bliss at Faena Hotel Miami Beach, a beachfront hotel in Mid Beach that resembles a fantastical movie set. The MICHELIN two-key resort’s lavish décor includes furniture dripping in velvet and bold leopard prints, walls draped with floor-to-ceiling murals, and over-the-top artwork (like a gold mammoth sculpture by Damien Hirst that fronts the beach). The rooms are just as sumptuous, and if you like to be catered to, some suites come with butler service. Spend the day lounging under one of the signature red-and-white striped umbrellas on the beach or at the pool, then retreat to the sprawling Tierra Santa Healing House spa to enjoy the hammam and indulge in a couples treatment. For date night, have dinner at MICHELIN-recommended Pao by Paul Qui or Los Fuegos By Francis Mallman for Argentine live-fire cooking. Toast each other at Saxony Bar, enjoy live music in The Living Room, and since you’re in the Faena District, which is dedicated to art, culture and fashion, catch a show in the opulent Faena Theater.
Highlights: Luxurious rooms, top restaurants, entertainment for date night

Hotel Greystone
Hotel Greystone, an adults-only boutique hotel with a central perch above Collins Avenue in South Beach, boasts one MICHELIN key. Its Art Deco-style rooms and suites are spread over two buildings, and some of them have private outdoor terraces, jacuzzi tubs and outdoor showers. Elevate your pool day at Sora Rooftop Bar, where sunbathing comes with epic city views. The hotel is home to Sérêvène, a French-Japanese adults-only restaurant where couples are wowed by theatrical tableside presentations. End the night in the sultry Greystone Bar, known for its craft cocktails and dark, moody vibe.

The Betsy South Beach
The MICHELIN one key The Betsy South Beach is set on a quieter stretch of Ocean Drive in South Beach, offering a romantic oasis and easy beach access. Wake up early for yoga or take it slow with breakfast and coffee on the sun-soaked front porch. Sunbathe by one of the hotel’s two pools – one is located in a tucked-away courtyard, while the infinity rooftop pool boasts panoramic views – then walk over to the beach for a dip in the ocean. (Tip: Grab a spot at the rooftop pool at sunset for incredible views.) Savor a romantic meal at LT Steak & Seafood (even if you love your date, you may want to keep the decadent tower of truffle fries for yourself!), then enjoy live jazz every night in the lobby bar. Curl up with a book in the hotel’s cozy library or stroll hand-in-hand while perusing the curated art collection that covers almost every inch of the hotel’s walls.
Highlights: Easy beach access, cozy spaces, jazz every night

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
The Four Seasons Hotel At The Surf Club, nestled in the quiet beach community of Surfside, is dripping in glamour and a glittery past. Awarded two MICHELIN keys, it’s an elegant seaside haven for couples seeking romance. Spring for an ocean-facing room that feels more like a posh apartment in the sky, or for something even more secluded, choose one of the beachfront bungalows with a private balcony on iconic Cabana Row. For the ultimate date night, start with fancy bubbles at the charming The Champagne Bar, where the tables are tucked between lush plants, then have dinner at MICHELIN three-star chef Thomas Keller’s The Surf Club Restaurant. If you really want to amp up the romance factor, the hotel will prepare a sunrise or sunset beach picnic.

The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami
If your idea of romance is being swept away to an idyllic setting, cross the bridge from Miami’s mainland to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami. The hotel is a slice of paradise on tranquil Key Biscayne, but it’s only minutes from the action of Brickell and Downtown Miami. Couples will be lulled into romance by the hotel’s dreamy beachside setting, where everything from the pools to the alfresco restaurants are surrounded by water views and swaying palm trees. Retreat to a private cabana at the adults-only tranquility pool, enjoy the calm, picture-perfect Atlantic Ocean on paddleboards, then head to the Caribbean-inspired spa for a couples massage. Take a romantic beach stroll at sunset, then enjoy one of many restaurants, from casual eateries that let you soak up the beach breezes to the upscale seafood at Lightkeepers.
