Delano

Big on understated chic, the almost all-white interior of the Delano on South Beach is
conducive to serious calm, with a casual relaxed atmosphere, despite being in the heart of the city’s 24-hour nightlife. The 208-room property counts a private beach, in-room massage and rooftop Agua Bathhouse Spa among key offerings, while its widely vaunted Blue Door restaurant serves memorable French-Brazilian fusion cuisine.
There is also meeting space for up to 150 delegates, and the ocean-front terrace makes
for a sunny venue for events.
Opium Garden

Blending Asian décor with a celebrity clientele has helped Opium Garden to forge a weighty reputation. The two-storey club is one of the biggest on Miami Beach, with an outside garden and four bars.
Sister hangouts Privé and Mansion are hip, with waterfalls and designer sofas adding
to the feel. And, if they’re good enough for Paris Hilton…
The Sagamore

Any hotel with its own 450-piece fine art collection is one to be reckoned with. Also boasting 93 suites, 16 garden bungalows and eight rooftop penthouses, the Sagamore is cut out for high-end incentives. Located just off Ocean Drive, the hotel’s feature list alone is enough to whet the appetite, offering a poolside grill, indoor/outdoor spa and infinity pool. For business matters, there is 270 sqm of conference space.
Yuca

Adding a “gourmet dash to Cuban cuisine”, Yuca is another hot-list staple. It offers an
effective way of incorporating a Latino flavour into a group itinerary, and the restaurant’s long-standing popularity is testament to the overall experience. It can welcome parties of up to 400, and has several dedicated areas for private dining, including a VIP room.
