Petrified driftwood, live ferns, and preserved moss create tranquil jungle-like public spaces. Since its 2015 debut, the hotel has secured a place on Travel + Leisure’s It List and the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award. Explore why it's Miami's premier escape from the next heatwave.

Distinctive pools for every preference

Four unique pools offer ideal spots to unwind during hot days. Families can enjoy the 30,000-square-foot Center Pool deck or the beachfront South Pool with all-day sun. An infinity pool features 10 rentable cabanas for private events, while the exclusive 18^th-floor pool is reserved for adults.

Spa treatments for sun-soothed skin

Revitalize with organic facial or body treatments at Bamford Haybarn Spa, the brand's first U.S. outpost from England's countryside. Sandy stones and bleached bark columns accent 12 treatment rooms and a relaxation area with a soothing water fountain.

Adults-only rooftop tiki lounge

Watr at the 1 Rooftop serves rum cocktails in fresh coconuts to guests in cabanas around the 21-and-over 110-foot 18^th-floor pool. Light fare like seaweed salad, fruit plates, and hand-rolled sushi fuels without weighing you down.

Solar-powered transportation

Climate-controlled fitness options

Recharge at second-floor Plnthouse with juices, smoothie bowls, salads, and sandwiches from a vegetable-focused menu—ideal post-workout or in peak heat.
