Check out our picks for the very best spas in Miami and prepare to get pampered.

Lapis Spa

Retreat to Lapis Spa, a wellness wonderland located inside the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Mid Beach. You could spend an entire day enjoying its plentiful amenities centered around its water features.

Guests can alternate between a hydrotherapy circuit with massage-jet showers, mineral pools and eucalyptus steam baths. Get a natural glow and a temporary lift with the Better Than Botox Facial, or drift off with the Tranquility Pro Sleep Massage.

K’alma Spa

It’s easy to sink into tranquility at the under-the-radar K’alma Spa at Hotel Victor. The intimate spa decorated in Peruvian-imported textiles and walls of crystals is located in the basement of the hotel, making it a quiet escape in South Beach.

Amenities include a hammam, relaxation room with hanging chairs, a meditation room and crystal-themed treatment rooms. Spa-goers rave about K’alma's massages, especially the couple’s massages, and the spa menu features Peruvian-inspired body treatments like the Pisco Sour Scrub and the Andean Cacao Soother, a cacao-based exfoliating scrub and oil.

Tierra Santa Healing House

You’ll feel like you've been transported to South America at the 22,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House  inside Faena Hotel Miami Beach, a MICHELIN Two Key hotel. The centerpiece of the spa is the huge hammam, where guests can relax on heated stone benches before their treatments, and the Wet Spa, which is meant for lathering mud, scrubs and essential oils onto the skin. 

The menu spotlights ancient healing rituals and treatments and offers unique therapies not found at most spas. Sample signature treatments like the Tree of Life Vibrations treatment, in which you’ll lie on a heated bed while being massaged with fragrant oils and hot stones as Nepalese singing bowls bathe your senses in sound healing.

Esencia Wellness

Esencia Wellness, nestled within the Eden Roc Miami Beach hotel in Mid Beach, is another spa resort devoted to holistic therapies. The relaxation lounge, which overlooks the pool and feels like a plush living room, immediately sets the scene for pure bliss. Enjoy hydrotherapy amenities, including whirlpools and plunge pools, a steam room and a sauna.

The menu boasts a variety of massages that utilize everything from bamboo to hot stones. Standouts include Asian-inspired treatments, like the 110-minute Nobu Nagomi Ritual, which infuses massage, facial cleansing and body exfoliation. Each month, the spa offers a new wellness special.

The Standard Spa

Considered a wellness playground for adults, The Standard Spa is a low-key, luxurious escape on Belle Isle in Biscayne Bay, just off South Beach. Spa guests are treated to a Turkish-style hammam, aroma steam room, treatment baths that recall ancient bathing rituals, and a bayfront infinity pool.

Holistic treatments cater to your well-being and trouble spots, and a wide range of fitness classes are available. Go for the 75-minute Essential Healing Massage, in which you’ll be paired with a  holistic healer for a custom designed mind-body journey with hands-on energy healing tailored to your needs. Afterwards, get playful in the pool or mellow out out on the deck overlooking the water.

Acqualina Spa

When only luxury will do, Acqualina Spa at Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach in Sunny Isles has been awarded a coveted Forbes Five-Star rating every year for over a decade. The spa features indulgent amenities, like a Himalayan salt wall room, the Royal Spa Suite with a Fendi-designed private lounge, and a private steam room made with mother-of-pearl. 

Guests also love the spa's private outdoor swimming pool and heated jet pool with a cascading waterfall overlooking the ocean. Look for special monthly spa treatments: Favorites include the Signature Age-Reversal Facial with Seed to Skin products and a decadent massage using warm candle oil.

Lux MedSpa Brickell

When you desire an urban escape, Lux MedSpa Brickell at the SLS Lux Brickell hotel offers a range of options, though it’s best known for its clinical facials and expert massages. Many of the glow-up facials, including microneedling and the Ultraformer MPT Non-Surgical Face & Neck Lift, focus on reversing time (at least temporarily).

The massages are also top-tier, from Swedish to deep tissue and a contouring Brazilian lymphatic drainage rubdown. This Brickell med spa is perfect for celebrating an anniversary with a couples massage.

Sana Skin Studio

If you’re looking for one of the best facials in Miami, the local boutique Sana Skin Studio is a popular choice, with locations in Wynwood, Coconut Grove and Aventura. This intimate studio focuses on clean skincare and sells products without harmful ingredients like parabens and harsh chemicals.

If you’re looking for regular maintenance, the Signature 50 Facial will do the trick, with cleansing, exfoliation, a massage and a custom mask to finish. For an illuminated effect, the aptly named Super Glow Facial is an 80-minute treatment that uses a brightening peel and other targeted serums and devices for radiant skin.

Bamboo Beauty & Wellness

Bamboo Beauty & Wellness, located in Downtown Miami, is the destination’s first Korean ASMR head spa. Indulge in one of its blissful head spa treatments, which include everything from a dreamy waterfall head bath to a decadent and revitalizing scalp massage. There are also stepped-up treatments that utilize Phyto Paris products, designed to treat thinning hair and dry, itchy scalps. 

Beyond the head spa services, Bamboo offers a range of facials – like the Korean Glow Facial for glass-like skin – along with massages, hair styling, eyelash and brow services, nails, body contouring treatments and more.
