Summertime Sensations
Summer in Miami might sound miserable to some but locals know that it’s one of the best times of year to be in the Magic City. Think: discounts at spas and hotels, breezy beach parties, no lines (and special deals) at amazing museums and frozen cocktails galore. Here’s how to beat the summer heat—and rain—in style.

POOL PARTY The Confidante’s pool and outdoor lounge area dubbed “The Backyard” (which also served as a backdrop for the “New Rules” Dua Lipa music video) recently launched a new floatie menu and custom pull-up amenity cart. The floats come in all shapes, themes and sizes but when guests purchase the rainbow cloud ($55) or flamingo cooler ($60) they come equipped with a bottle of rosé or prosecco and refreshing fruit plate.

RENEW AND RECHARGE
July and August in Miami play host to Miami Spa Month (yes it’s two months long!) put on by Greater Miami and the Beaches. This means that you get to take advantage of spa deals (starting at $109) all over the city, including at ESPA at Acqualina Resort, the Biltmore Hotel, Miami Beach EDITION and Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, which offers high-tech cryotherapy treatments inside one of the coldest machines in the country—reaching minus 275 F—it will invigorate your entire body.
