The Standard Miami

The Standard Spa Hotel offers more than the standard hotel fare. Off the loud and beaten track of South Beach, it's not even one full song on your playlist away from the sexy South Beach attractions. Positioned on the only natural, non-man-made, island on the enchanting Venetian Causeway, one is lured to leave troubles at the door and meander through the lushly landscaped gardens which open to a wide unobstructed Biscayne Bay view. Here, one should be prepared for magnificently colorful sunsets. Not just for tourists, but also for residents like me who also live on this small magical island and are lucky to call it home. Another Martini please.

If you could take just one photo: The Standard Miami

The Standard Miami Hotel and Spa brings a modern twist to the ancient bathing traditions of the East. Whether you are shedding away dull skin in their popular Turkish Hamam, or kicking it poolside, this Hotel gives you a chill and holistic get away. Take a yoga class to rejuvenate your mind and capture your third eye… Lively yourself up by dipping in the hot and cold spa’s… Or take a nap in a swinging chair hidden among lush green lawns only to wake up and satisfy your appetite with an organic delight. Oh, did I mention the outdoor mud bath?

The Standard Miami is invigorating and relaxing, but without the brash bling of SoBe. This star spa destination is a hip urban oasis in the art deco style, as beautiful as the beautiful people who come here, but with none of the attitude. It makes a point of not being part of the South Beach 'scene'; it doesn't slot easily into the super-luxe SoBe category; it's not on Collins Avenue or Ocean Drive, as you'd expect; and it's home to one of the most stylish spas you'll ever go to, with a mind-boggling array of facilities and treatments. Even in a city renowned for its focus on the body beautiful, the Standard takes its wellbeing credentials more seriously than most.
