Doze off in a beach cabana and wake up to a Florida suntan (read: burn) and then head back to Eden Roc. Here, you'll spend possibly a little too much on dinner at Nobu Miami and end your night at the Lobby Bar for a nightcap. Rinse and repeat the next day: Just make sure you lather on the sunscreen before your afternoon catnap this time.

The Plymouth Hotel Miami is housed in a restored Art Moderne building, and you can still sense the old-timey vibes around the property. The checkered flooring surrounding the pool and bright orange chair cushions will transport you back to the days when old Hollywood hotshots spent their days sunning in Palm Springs: Except it's 2020, you're in Miami Beach, the cocktails are flowing, and the smartphone has already been invented.

The Gale South Beach has a rooftop pool, which means you probably won't make use of the beach that's only a block away: You’ll instead choose to be propped up on striped lounge chairs while taking in some vitamin D and watching the South Beach crowds from a safe and comfortable distance.

It’s what you have always wished your house looked like, if only you had the Joanna Gaines touch. But luckily for you, you can experience it firsthand and snag a shot for your Pinterest board for future design plans, nonetheless.

The Palms Hotel & Spa is definitely not for your classic beach-drinking spring break. It’s more for the wellness junkie who wants to unwind with a couple drinks but also keep up with their workout routine while out of town. The poolside yoga and Zumba is complimentary for hotel guests, and I don’t think anyone would say a word if you had a Mai Thai in hand while in warrior two...

You can’t go to Miami without experiencing a bit of the Latin influence that permeates throughout the area. At Loews Miami Beach you can start your day off with an American breakfast with a little flair — like the sweet potato hash made with chorizo, roasted corn, and heirloom beans — to taste just a touch of what all that Latin influence does for the city. Then, spend the rest of the day in the hotel’s "SOAK Cabana" by the pool, which yes, has an Apple TV inside.

Just in case the tranquil scene by the pool at Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach doesn’t sound enticing enough to you on its own, the waters of Miami beach are literally steps away from your hotel room, which means you can spend your days switching back and forth from beach to pool until your hands prune. And believe us, pruny hands will be your biggest concern the entire trip.
