Oceanfront hydrotherapy campus
The resort functions as an oceanfront wellness compound, trading late-night party culture for restorative water therapies and daily movement.
“The resort resembles a massive spa, from the jasmine-and-citrus scented lobby to the soft linens in guest rooms.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
European thermal hydrotherapy circuits with an indoor igloo chamber and full-body cryotherapy.
Notable
All-suite residences with deep soaking tubs and concierges arranging tailored health itineraries.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
All 150 rooms at the Carillon are suites, and feel like luxury apartments, which is great if you’re traveling with kids or want to cook some of your meals in
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Collins Avenue turns quiet and residential in North Beach, leaving South Beach fifteen minutes down the road.

The rooms
Accommodations are all apartment-sized suites with full kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows, and deep soaking tubs.
The pools and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
An adults-only rooftop saltwater pool looks toward the ocean, and treadmills face palm trees in the oceanfront gym.
The thermal circuit
The thermal circuit holds warm hydrotherapy foot baths, and ambient lighting illuminates sensory saltwater float pods.
At the table
The Strand serves regional seafood on an oceanfront terrace, and the Michelin-starred Tambourine Room seats eighteen guests for dinner.
How it began
Norman Giller designed the midcentury landmark in 1958, hosting Rat Pack parties long before it pivoted to preventative health.
