Staying at an Andre Balazs hotel is always more of an 'experience' than just a simple hotel stay. Breaking away from the usual party, sexy, 'see and be seen' vibe, The Standard, Miami is more about water, healing, and a healthy dose of rejuvenating indulgence.

Although offering an incredibly extensive and impressive yoga and spa menu, the big draw at this spa hotel is hydrotherapy. Serious attention to form and function have gone into the beautifully designed Steam and Sauna rooms, Sound Pool, Roman Waterfall Hot Tub, Mud Lounge, and gorgeous Hamam.

With a little over a year under its belt, the hotel's tranquil location on Belle Island (accessible to yet a comfortable distance from South Beach) sets the tone. Wellness programs and retreats are available through their Center for Integral Living, in addition to great summer rates on weekend stays.

Upcoming weekend programs include: Holistic Sexuality (June 2-3) and Learn the Secret of Healing Trauma (June15-17).
