Florida's Top Destination Spas
Florida provides its visitors with top-notch golf courses, miles upon miles of breathtaking beaches, and acres of theme park action...

However, for travelers wanting to relax with a much needed massage, or facial, the following resorts provide their guests with the most relaxing spa techniques housed within some of the country's most luxurious surroundings...

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa [Little Torch Key]
It's the getaway of your dreams. There are no cell phones, no televisions, no children, and no traffic. An island escape with dinners served on the beach, while lit tiki torches surround your table for two.
The resort's onsite SpaTerre provides Balinese spa treatments and Thai body rituals that are guaranteed to soothe and relax your soul. Revel in the fragrances of jasmine, frangipani, and tropical island fruits. Or, perhaps you'd prefer a fresh flower or lemongrass-infused soaking tub to follow. The opportunity to relax is endless.
Each of the resort's private thatched-roof bungalows feature romantic touches such as a king-size bed draped in butterfly netting, verandahs with ocean views and, in some rooms, private outdoor showers and jetted tubs. Little Palm Island is a Noble House Hotel & Resort Property.

Mandarin Oriental Spa [Miami]
Situated on exclusive Brickell Key, the Mandarin Oriental, Miami has introduced a new oasis of luxury in another famed Miami locale - South Beach. Hotel guests can now enjoy Mandarin Oriental's legendary service at the hotel's private beach cabanas on the glittering sands of South Beach and delight in personalized amenities and services at the extraordinary setting of Casa Casuarina, formerly the Mansion of Gianni Versace located on South Beach's iconic Ocean Drive.
Guests will be granted exclusive access for the duration of their daytime beach experience to Casa Casuarina's outdoor pool facilities and restaurants where they can unwind and socialize in magnificent surroundings.

Adopting a different approach to the traditional spa experience, The Mandarin Oriental Miami Spa offers a series of innovative and restorative treatments inspired by the elements of life, and the ancient traditions of Chinese, Ayurvedic, European, Balinese and Thai cultures. The 15,000-square-foot spa features 17 private treatment rooms that each use textures such as bamboo, rice paper, glass, and natural linens to achieve a harmonious balance. Six stunning suites, located on the top floor of the spa, offer the ultimate spa experience. Two of the spa's spacious, split-level Mandarin Suites include a personal multi-jet tub overlooking the tranquil water of Biscayne Bay, two are custom-designed for Thai massage, and two are especially designed for couples wishing to share their experience.

For the audacious spa goer... If you are looking for something just a little sexier, we suggest the Standard Miami! As one of South Florida's hottest properties, visitors to The Standard quickly discover that Andre Balazs's inspiration is as much a spa as it is a hotel.
Unique to The Standard is the Turkish-style hammam, meaning spreader of warmth. The slab of heated marble encourages co-ed visitors to relax semi-nude, and often topless in a modern steam room atmosphere. For those wanting to wash away their stress, the showering rotunda is where folks gather to get sprayed while listening to piped in Tibetan singing bowls.
