Vigor-centric retreats aren’t a novel idea. But our need for them is more acute than ever. We checked into the largest spa and wellness facility on the East Coast to test out an itinerary that’s big on high-tech, high-touch equipment, integration of Eastern and Western medical modalities, and delicious bites.

9:00 AM Breakfast at The Strand. Chocolate Banana Breakfast Quinoa is a delicious plate that boosts energy levels. It features almond milk, cocoa powder, honey, and chocolate crumble, and is the perfect way to gear up for a charged morning. 10:00 AM Pilates class begins at the studio. The group fitness program here is designed by fitness director Teri Sibai, who works closely with her team of expert fitness trainers to offer guests a wide variety of unique movement classes. 11:00 AM Post-workout calls for the innovative Touchless Wellness experiences that help with the recovery of sore muscles. An hour should include Full Body Cryotherapy, which combines age-old science with cutting-edge equipment for recovery, weight loss, and inflammation; a Halotherapy and Infrared Sauna, a natural and effective solution for respiratory health and hygiene; and a Prism Light Pod, the industry’s most advanced, 360-degree whole-body red-light therapy system that enhances natural wellness and speeds aesthetics and performance recovery. 12:00 PM Take a moment to prepare for spa experiences by soaking in the Thermal Hydrotherapy Circuit. Experience profound relaxation and soothe tight, aching muscles with Quartz Massage mobilizing pressure applied to the body. Follow that treatment with VEMI, Vibroacoustic Electro Magnetic and Infrared technology, that uses healing sound resonance in tandem with full-body vibrations to eliminate the effects of electro-smog radiation. End this session with a Salt Float Bath Therapy that incorporates 800 pounds of Epsom salt for the ultimate floating experience. 2:45 PM Bask in the Florida sun at the rooftop “adults only” saltwater pool. 4:00 PM Hop on a Carillon beach cruiser and admire the natural beauty of iconic Miami Beach along the scenic boardwalk. 7:00 PM It’s dinner time. Head back down to The Strand to enjoy clean, fresh, and ingredient-led cuisine right on the ocean’s edge prepared by executive chef Rosario Corrao. 12:00 AM After a night out, rest well on a Bryte Bed that tracks your sleep habits, cools the bed, changes its firmness, and can wake you up in the morning, too. And yes, this innovative item is available for purchase at the Carillon’s online shop. We promise you’ll wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world!
