This luxurious property is tucked away in what feels like it’s own private little oasis on Brickell Key Drive, and while the resort is gorgeous, let’s be honest, I’m only there for the spa.
The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental is unparalleled with traditional features such as 11 different treatment rooms, each with private showers, 6 luxurious spa suites overlooking the Biscayne Bay, sauna + steam rooms, fitness center, outdoor fitness classes, and pool access, this Spa meets all my I’d Rather Be at the Spa main criteria (Very critical). I typically steer clear of any spa that doesn’t have full amenities. Honestly, what’s the point of the Spa if you don’t get the full sha-bang? I’m no dummy, I’m here for the full experience. However, with all the safety precautions in place, most amenities are not open. Luckily, with all the private treatment rooms you can enjoy your facial or massage in a sanitized socially distanced haven.

The Biologique Recherche Slim & Sculpt They describe this 90-minute treatment as improving the look and feel of your body through lymphatic massage and Biologique Recherche detoxing wrap. But my friend Frankie describes Biologique a bit better: “If you have ever desired to glow from within like white Carrera marble, Biologique Recherche will achieve that goal. No, but actually…” And if that doesn’t entice one I don’t know what will!. At a price point of $295 and a take-home goodie bag, this Miami Spa special is ideal! (other specials starting at $260, include valet and pool if open. Spa amenities may be limited, call before booking!)
Not only is this the Carillon a fabulous hotel in Miami, but it also serves a full-blown wellness resort complete with thermal therapies and more! So they happen to know a thing or two when it comes to the best spa treatments while pampering the guest’s mind, body, and soul. And I really love that about them. The property sits nicely on the beach and their main goal is to give each guest personalized attention customized to their needs. Ugh talk about being taken care of, sign me up! They are ensuring intense sanitation measures as well as practicing social distancing.

I personally love the Miami Beach EDITION for a number of reasons, elegant chic interior rooms, trendy Tulum type vibe, and a handful of great memories of nightly escapades in their downstairs bar - The Basement, complete with a bowling alley, and an ice skating rink (Yes, an ice skating rink in the basement!). But naturally, for someone such as myself, I namely pick resorts not solely based on the level of chic but also on the level of outstanding spa. The spa at the Edition is great, a classic day spa will all the bells and whistles. Elegant and sophisticated you feel immediately relaxed and at ease upon arrival. With an array of private treatment rooms, your safety is ensured.

** Disclaimer. Not mentioned in my list is the Standard Miami Spa, with their insanely lavish Hammam. There is a reason is it not mentioned, that reason is they are currently closed. It is devastating to me as it is in fact, my favorite spa in all of Miami. And to make matters worse rumor is the spa won’t reopen until mid-2021. Hearing this news absolutely gutted me and I personally really do not wish to discuss it any further. One silver lining, however, the hotel side is said to be reopening its doors in Sept 2020. So let’s all take a moment to send positive vibes to ensure this happens!
