Top Hotel Pools In Miami

Miami is one of the shining rays of the Sunshine State, and that means a lot of outdoor living. From all-night beach parties to daytime hotel pool parties that redefine the term “daytime activity.” In fact, for many locals and visitors alike Miami’s hotel pools are the new bars and clubs, particularly in SoBe (that’s South Beach to you and me).

But you don’t always want to be in the center of the action. Sometimes, when we think back to simpler times, a pool was a place of relaxation and luxury. Luckily, there are still hotels in Miami for which this is not a forgotten era.

If you’re looking for a true getaway in the glamorous chaos that is Miami’s see-and-be-seen scene, here are MINX’s top picks for the most exclusive hotel pools.

Four Seasons

At the Four Seasons Miami, you don’t need to rent a cabana to experience the full-service amenities. Even on their comfy sun beds, you’ll receive Evian misters, cold towels, fruit and sunscreen. You can also order meals from their special poolside menu.

The Delano

The designers of the Delano pool area understand that guests don’t always want to frolic in the pool. So they give you many other reasons to wear your MINX bikini - from special floating and meditating pool areas to the Orchard, a lawn area adjacent to the pool where you can lounge on a daybed and have a private conversation. Of course, their cabanas are said to be the most luxurious in Miami.

Mondrian

Have cabanas become passé for you? Then you’re clearly ready for an entire poolside living room at the Mondrian South Beach. Its highly stylized furniture, Oriental rugs and open-roof with tall curtains ensure that yes, you can pull off a business meeting in your MINX bikini.

The Raleigh

Raleigh’s pool area is beautiful, with its carefully renovated Art Deco pool and majestic palms. But it’s also a feast for the senses - from the fragrant landscaping and scented cold towels to the surprisingly delectable treats served poolside, the ocean view and the sun beds that are so comfortable, you’ll never want to leave.

Fontainebleau

The Fontainebleau’s “poolscape” features not one but two cabana areas, the latter naturally being a VIP section on a raised deck for ultimate privacy. However, their “regular” cabanas are not bad either, what with their own butlers, wifi, a safe for when you’re taking a dip, TV, dedicated phone line and a lounge area.
