The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

Start out you vacation with a trip to The Ritz-Carlton Spa, South Beach, a 16,000-square-foot sanctuary, and pamper yourself with wonderful treatments before heading out to explore the area. Enjoy a day of high end shopping at luxury boutiques and galleries right on Lincoln Road. Tee off at nearby Miami Beach Golf Club in the afternoon and play 18 holes in gorgeous tropical weather, all before taking in a theater production or concert at Colony Theater. Stroll down to the beach to stretch out on the sparkling sands, splash in the warm waters, or take some surfing lessons before hitting the waves like a pro. Glide through the tranquil waters of Biscayne Bay in a kayak, or dive below to snorkel and scuba at fabulous reef and wreck sites. Take a fun filled eco-tour of the Everglades by foot or airboat, or view the city in its entirety from high above on an exhilarating skydiving excursion. As the lights come on in the city sit down to dinner at one of the resort's amazing restaurants. Dine beachfront at The DiLido Beach Club and sample Mediterranean cuisine, or try contemporary American fare at Bistro One LR. After the perfect meal, head once again into South Beach, this time to explore the nightlife and party until the sun comes up. At The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, this is just another day in paradise.
