THE SETAI, MIAMI BEACH

East meets West and old meets new at The Setai. Architect is a contraction of which means “south beach” in the Bahasa Indonesia language. The result is a peaceful haven in a busy city – no wonder it has attracted everyone from Malia Obama to Jay-Z and Bella Hadid. Book the 10,000-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouse suite for privacy – it also has five bathrooms, wrap-around balconies with 180-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, South Beach and Miami, and its own lap pool. Just before sunset, head down to the three temperature-controlled garden pools, which have been laid east to west for prime views of the sun dipping below the horizon. To finish off your stay, book in to the recently opened Valmont for The Spa at The Setai for its signature $1,000 Master of Time treatment developed specifically for this hotel, which features techniques promising a new-found feeling of youth.
