Book Carillon Miami Wellness Resort with VIP Benefits

The thermal areas have separate sections for men and women. A wood-lined Finnish sauna uses hot stones and dry heat, while the Crystal Steam Room combines scented steam, colored light and a large quartz crystal. In the Herbal Laconium, a starlit ceiling hangs above ceramic seating and herbs warmed over stones. Each space has its own temperature, texture and atmosphere, from the timber of the sauna to the tiled rooms beyond it.

The Vitality Tub has fountains and body jets, with heated loungers nearby. Experiential Rains change the character of a shower through settings inspired by tropical storms and polar mist. The Igloo uses cool air scented with mint, eucalyptus and menthol. These contrasting spaces are part of the spa's thermal circuit. Access to the thermal circuit, treatments and fitness areas starts at 16; guests aged 16 and 17 need a parent or guardian with them in the thermal areas.

The fitness center occupies 10,000 square feet and has Technogym equipment, panoramic views and round-the-clock access. Group classes add a social side to exercise, with options such as yoga, Pilates, spinning, boxing and dance. The choice runs from studio work to sessions built around music and movement, alongside equipment for an independent workout. Classes follow a changing schedule, so the particular mix depends on the day.

The oceanfront Cabana Pool welcomes families, while the Atlantic Pool is reserved for adults. The latter is a saltwater pool on the rooftop, with an elevated setting above the beachfront. Down at the Cabana Pool, Seaglass Cafe serves casual food and drinks. The two settings give the resort distinct outdoor gathering places: one beside the beach with lunch close by, the other higher up and away from the family pool.

Along the property's 750 feet of beachfront, the sand and ocean are central to the setting. You can move from a poolside afternoon to the shore, or take the beachwalk for a longer outing on foot or by bicycle. It passes directly by Carillon, so a seaside walk does not begin with a drive. The nearby beach bandshell also brings live performance into this part of North Beach.

The one- and two-bedroom apartments start at 720 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows face either the city or the Atlantic, depending on the category. All have fully equipped kitchens and living rooms separate from the bedrooms. A one-bedroom king apartment facing the city measures 720 to 920 square feet and accommodates one or two adults; an ADA-accessible version is also listed. The king apartment with a balcony and ocean view has 720 square feet, with the same two-adult capacity.

The one-bedroom apartment with two queen beds and a city view offers 780 to 950 square feet for up to four guests. Its living room contains a pull-out sofa, and the kitchen uses KitchenAid and Miele appliances with a midsized refrigerator. There is space to keep groceries and prepare a meal, as well as somewhere separate from the bedroom to eat or sit together. In the bathroom, a deep-soaking tub accompanies a walk-in rain shower. The Bryte Balance Smart Beds allow firmness to be adjusted separately on each side, a practical detail for two people sharing a bed.

For a direct oceanfront outlook, the two-bedroom apartment with a balcony measures 1,200 square feet. It has one king bed and two queens, with published capacity for up to four guests. Each bedroom adjoins its own bathroom. An open living space and a kitchen with KitchenAid and Miele appliances sit alongside the private sleeping quarters. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Atlantic, and the balcony gives you an outdoor place to take in the sea air. Another two-bedroom option pairs one king and one queen bed within 950 square feet, also for up to four guests.

Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt seats just 12 diners and holds one Michelin star, as listed on the hotel's current restaurant page. Its name reaches back to a cocktail and jazz venue that opened here in 1958. The present room keeps touches of Art Deco in its natural textures and soft lighting. A tasting menu draws on global ingredients and techniques, with chefs presenting the courses and explaining their details. The evening begins in a wood-paneled cocktail lounge before moving into the dining room, giving drinks and dinner their own distinct spaces.

The Strand takes a different approach, serving coastal modern American food under executive chef Christopher Robertson. Its menu draws on local, regional and domestic suppliers, with techniques and flavors from farther afield. Indoor tables look toward the water, and the oceanfront patio puts dinner in the open air. A cocktail bar shares the sea outlook. The setting keeps the shore in view throughout a meal, from a seat behind the windows to a table outside by the dunes.

For something less formal, Seaglass Cafe at the Cabana Pool offers a poolside alternative. Salads, sandwiches and frozen cocktails feature among the resort's pool and beach choices. In-suite dining also brings meals to the apartment. The Corner Store opens daily from 7am to 5pm, serving coffee, freshly made juices, smoothies, pastries and light bites. It also stocks sundries for guests who need a few everyday essentials. Together with the kitchens, these options leave room for a simple meal at home between restaurant evenings.

The resort's address is 6801 Collins Avenue in North Beach. Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport both connect to the hotel by road; travel time varies with traffic. Beyond the property, the beachwalk offers a direct route along the coast, while the rest of Miami Beach is reached from Collins Avenue.
