How to Relax in Miami



Escape to the beach

No trip to Miami would be complete without a visit to its world-famous beaches. I prefer to relax in Miami by venturing to quieter spots like Crandon Park Beach on Key Biscayne, or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park for a more peaceful experience. Sink your toes into the soft sand, take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters, or simply lounge under a palm tree with a good book.

The soothing sounds of the ocean waves will instantly put you in a relaxed state of mind.


Pamper yourself at a luxurious spa

Miami is home to numerous world-class spas that offer a variety of treatments to help you unwind. From facials and massages to body wraps, and aromatherapy, there’s something for everyone looking to indulge in some self-care. Visit The Spa at The Miami Beach EDITION for an unforgettable experience, or check out Tierra Santa Healing House at Faena Hotel for a more holistic approach to relaxation. Whichever spa you choose, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.



Enjoy a makeover at a local salon

Sometimes, a fresh haircut or a revitalizing facial can do wonders for your well-being. Whether you’re looking to get one of these types of curly perms or a really good blowout, Miami is home to a plethora of upscale salons where you can treat yourself to a makeover.

Visit Sean Donaldson Hair in South Beach for a stylish haircut or color, or head to Gee Beauty in Bal Harbour for a luxurious facial. With your newfound confidence, you’ll be ready to hit the town and show off your new look. 


Find your zen at a yoga class

Yoga is a fantastic way to ease your body and mind, and Miami boasts numerous studios where you can practice your downward dog. Green Monkey Yoga offers classes for all levels, with locations in Miami Beach and Coral Gables. For a truly unique experience, try a session at Tropical Vinyasa, which takes place in a stunning outdoor garden. If you’re more of a night owl, consider a full moon yoga class at the North Beach Bandshell, where you can flow under the stars.



Stroll through the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Escape the city’s hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the serene surroundings of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Located in Coral Gables, this 83-acre garden boasts an impressive collection of rare tropical plants, including palms, cycads, and orchids. Wander through the lush pathways, admire the stunning flora, and take in the peaceful ambiance. You can even participate in a guided tour or a yoga class among the greenery.


Savor a leisurely meal at a waterfront restaurant

There’s something inherently soothing about dining by the water, and Miami offers an array of waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy a leisurely meal while taking in the breathtaking views. Lido Bayside Grill at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach, is an excellent choice for a relaxed, alfresco dining experience. Savor fresh seafood and Mediterranean-inspired dishes as you gaze upon the stunning Biscayne Bay. For a more upscale experience, consider Amara at Paraiso, where you can indulge in Latin American cuisine on a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the water.


Unwind with a sunset cruise

As the sun sets over Miami’s skyline, there’s no better way to unwind than with a peaceful sunset cruise. Choose from a variety of options, from private charters to group sailings, and sip on a refreshing cocktail as you watch the sky transform into a canvas of vibrant colors. The gentle rocking of the boat and the cool ocean breeze will have you feeling relaxed and carefree in no time at all.

Miami may be known for its lively nightlife and high-energy atmosphere, but here are plenty of ways to relax and recharge in this vibrant city. From indulging in luxurious spa treatments to connecting with nature at beautiful gardens and parks, there’s no shortage of options for those seeking a more tranquil experience.
