Once you step foot in one of Faena’s poolside cabanas, you’ll understand why Condé Nast Traveler named Faena one of the ten most “over-the-top” hotel pools in the world. The uniform red chaise lounge, white accents and signature red and white striped umbrellas line the impressive pool, presenting a chic, artistic aesthetic–an elegant design unmatched by any other hotel pool. Faena’s amenities are also sure to stun: by the pool, enjoy wine on ice and mouth-watering snacks served by “pool butlers” who provide premier service.

The Fontainebleau’s three highly amenitized pools help make the Miami Beach hotel one of the most fawned over destinations in the Magic City. Along with the kid’s pool, the signature bowtie-shaped, Morris Lapidus-inspired pool, aptly named the Bowtie Oasis Pool, provides a unique mix of fun and leisure. The adults-only Arkadia Day Club pool is home to the hottest pool parties in Miami. From hot beats by notable DJs to refreshing drinks and private cabanas, the pool is the premier poolside destination. Party all day from 11AM to 8PM with Arkadia’s exclusive pool parties with DJ K Razor, or live the VIP life for a day, soaking up the Miami sun and enjoying Michael Mina’s Pizza & Burger.

The Biltmore

The Spanish-inspired hotel in Coral Gables is notable for an array of reasons–housing one of the largest hotel pools in the United States is one of them. Holding 600,000 gallons of water, the 23,000 square-foot pool is legendary. At the Biltmore, bask in everything grand by reserving a cabana by the pool, which is whimsically lined with bougainvillea and Renaissance statues. Accommodating up to eight guests, the cabanas are furnished in teak wood, classic banana leaf ceiling fans, top-notch lounge chairs and outdoor rain showers. As you’re living large and resting by the marble polished pool, you are guaranteed a taste of Miami opulence.

The Delano South BeachDelano

Delano Beach Club is known for its lush 7000 square feet of upscale design, which guarantees relaxation. Past the Orchard area and iconic outdoor chess board, the pool awaits with limitless amenities. For guests, renting one of Delano’s poolside bungalows is an absolute must. The elegant furniture, private patio, rainfall shower, MALIN+GOETZ soap and breathtaking marble soaking tub make the Delano’s pool one of the hautest in Miami.

The Breakers’ four posh pools—most notably the infinity adult pool and expansive main pool—capture the essence of the classic, high-end Palm Beach resort. Freshly manicured Ponce Promenade and Ocean Lawn make for a glamorous lead-in to the Beach Club where guests can reserve an indoor-outdoor bungalow complete with plush furniture, a flatscreen television, a bathroom, gourmet food and beverage service. The luxurious poolside cabanas take the saying “home away from home” to a new level: the accommodations transport guests away from reality, providing an oasis away from the Breakers’ already impressive suites during the day.

1 Hotel South Beach

With picturesque backdrops and top-notch amenities, 1 Hotel’s dynamic pools are the definition of relaxation. The expansive 30,000 square foot Center Pool provides 180-degree ocean views, cantina-style food, lush day beds and more. Located on the third floor, the private Cabana Pool is a natural, reclaimed wood-designed poolscape that doesn’t allow access to any of your stresses with its panoramic ocean views and zen atmosphere. 1 Hotel’s third pool, the South Pool, located next to the beachfront, is the ideal setting to unwind and enjoy all-day pool service. And at Watr guests can bask in the Magic City sunshine with a drink in hand, atop the only waterfront hotel with a rooftop pool.

While The National gives guests a glimpse into old-school, classic Miami, its pool exudes more of a modern vibe. Not only is the sleek pool the longest infinity pool on all of Miami Beach, but it’s also a place where you can enjoy poolside cocktails. Most snapshots taken at the posh Miami Beach hotel pass the test for most instagrammable Magic City photos.

The Miami Beach EDITION’s pool reflects more than just the sun’s glittering rays. Holding much historical weight, it is the hotel’s original (and fully restored) swimming pool located on the property’s lush landscape called “Tropicale,” inspired by the iconic 1950s Havana nightclub, Tropicana. The Miami Beach EDITION is the ideal place for a fun, yet culturally significant poolscape experience. With its period diving board interlaced with bougainville, private cabanas complete with daybeds and enticing custom teak lounges, the Collins Avenue poolside escape is the peaceful oasis for you to recharge from your daily grind.

At the W South Beach’s two “WET” pools, guests are treated like royalty. From poolside service to all-natural cocktails and organic cold-pressed juices, at the W, relaxation comes naturally. Guests can also indulge in upscale accommodations at the serene Mini WET pool in one of the exclusive private cabanas. A day by the pool at W South Beach is in high demand, especially since a myriad of tv shows, including HBO’s Ballers, have shot here to give viewers a taste of the hot Miami life.

The Setai, Miami Beach Setai Pool

With its three infinity azure pools, The Setai, Miami Beach is the epitome of glamour. The hotel boasts that all three pools are kept at the perfect temperature all year-round for the utmost comfort of their guests.
