Art Deco beach revival
A playful 1948 oceanfront classic where poolside daylife and evening hosted wine hours replace South Beach pretension.
“Not one to break dress code, the Surfcomber's façade is also marked by sharp lines; a dramatic, semicircle driveway to coast into; and smooth, matte-white walls.”
Where it shines
Notable
Velvet seating, Calacatta marble, and forest green tones accent the restored terrazzo interiors.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The design scheme mixes the Kimpton’s fresh color palette and playful modern décor with a coolly understated surf theme.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open directly onto Collins Avenue, within easy walking distance of Lincoln Road and the boardwalk.
The rooms
Neutral palettes and blonde wood keep the focus outdoors, and oceanfront suites open onto private sunbathing balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Tall palm trees and green-striped umbrellas flank the rectangular pool, just steps from the ocean boardwalk.
The spa
Private cabanas and treatment rooms host massages and restorative bodywork infused with local cafecito coffee oil.
Yoga and fitness
Guests can join morning beach yoga sessions on the sand or borrow custom cruiser bikes to explore South Beach.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Social Club
The indoor-outdoor dining room serves house ricotta donuts and regional dishes alongside craft cocktails at the central bar.
At the table
Solei Beach Club serves Mediterranean shared plates and fresh ceviche beneath thatched palapas steps from the water.
