You can even book a romantic beachfront dinner under the stars.

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.

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.
