For all the calamities Miamians have to deal with in the summer—like randomly occurring hurricanes and sweat stains on everything—July’s proverbial rain clouds have a silver lining: Miami Spa Month. The citywide special, which actually extends through August, features deeply discounted wellness treatments, from massages and facials to lymphatic drainage, across top facilities. Prices and offers vary by location (though you’ll find deals as low as $109), but there’s so much to choose from you might need to tack on an extra therapy to de-stress from your research. Thankfully, we’ve broken down some of our favorites below.
For when your significant other wants to tag along: Icon Brickell Spa at W Miami Hotel
For $200, you and bae get massages side by side and then lounge together in the co-ed water lounge. Put your Instagram husband to work and get a shot with the spa’s fabulous baroque chandeliers.
For a full body detox: Carillon Miami Wellness Resort
Dry brushing, exfoliating, skin peels—who has the time? Quickly rid your face and body of all that excess dead skin you’ve been carrying around during a 50-minute Glow & Go treatment, featuring a gentle, natural exfoliation done with sea algae and salt. Bonus: it stimulates the central nervous system for added health benefits.
For the best overall value: Bliss Spa at W South Beach
Pizza, sex and massages—even when they’re bad, they’re still pretty good. That’s not to say the treatments at Bliss Spa are bad—in fact, they’re great—but what we’re not interested in the quality, we’re in it for the value. Here you get 75- and 80-minute treatments, discounted valet parking, a complimentary watermelon cooler, various discount cards and a brownie. Yep, folks, they even throw in dessert.
For coping with the hot AF weather: Spa at Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
If you’re not feeling it yet, come August the heat will be so bad you’ll wish the ice bucket challenge was an actual thing year round. Cool off like the classy lady (or lad) you are with a 60-minute cucumber-and-aloe wrap with cold marble stones that includes a bonus scalp massage. The complimentary glass of prosecco post session is what seals the deal.
For when you want to look younger: âme Spa & Wellness Collective at Turnberry Isle Miami
Tired skin is a real thing, and doing something about it is literally exhausting. Get it handled by the pros at âme, where $109 buys you an age-defying facial featuring fancy Natura Bissé products (Kim Kardashian is supposedly a big fan), which are packed with natural vitamins and amino acids that instantly firm and tighten skin.
For a quick glow-up: Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau Miami Beach
It’s like an 80-minute pit stop for your skin, featuring extractions, microdermabrasion, a peel and an oxygen treatment to plump and replenish. You’ll have to sneak out of work for this one as it’s only offered Monday through Friday, but we’re sure your boss will appreciate your new fabulous glow.
For a bonus workout: Tierra Santa Healing House at Faena Hotel Miami Beach
Snoozed on your AM exercise sesh? No sweat. Book an $109 treatment at Faena and get your choice of yoga or meditation (think mental workout) on the house. Plus, all services include full access to the facilities so you can swim, steam and chill to your heart’s content. Note: classes and facilities must be used on the same day.
For the sleep-deprived: Miami Beach EDITION
There’s no denying the supernatural facial with microcurrent treatment works wonders on skin, zapping it firm and utilizing plant-based products to give it a healthy glow. But we’re in it for the bonus Power Nap, which uses biotic wave technology to put you in a deep trance fast.
