The Ritz-Carlton Spa, South Beach

The Ritz-Carlton Spa, South Beach flies under the radar, a high-end wellness facility for guests and in-the-know locals in search of a little Zen. The spa, located on the hotel’s third floor, is compact in size but brimming with amenities and cutting-edge treatments you won’t find elsewhere. For instance, the groundbreaking JetPeel facial—which is available only at one other South Florida location—is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressurized air to combine the benefits of hydro-dermabrasion, a chemical peel and automated (painless!) extractions. The spa also offers a range of massages, designed to target all types of concerns, from soreness to tension to pregnancy- and sports-related issues. There’s a steam room, a sauna and a place to lounge while you wait to get pampered. Rushing off to the beach or an event post-treatment? There’s a small shop stocked with swimsuits (including South Florida brand Montce), accessories and dresses to get you on your way quickly.
