Infinity pool hotels in Miami
Oceanfront infinity pools on Miami Beach and high-rise pools with skyline views in Brickell and Downtown
Miami offers two very different infinity pool settings. On Miami Beach, the pools sit in oceanfront gardens next to the Atlantic Ocean, from the Art Deco District of South Beach to the calmer hotels of Mid-Beach. On the mainland, Brickell and Downtown Miami put their pools on high-floor decks with skyline views and Biscayne Bay spread out below.
The hotels on this page cover both settings, plus a pool terrace above the Miami River in Downtown. Three oceanfront resorts, in South Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour, keep a rooftop or quiet pool for adults.
The dry season, from mid-October to mid-May, is the most comfortable time for long pool days, and several hotels heat at least one pool for the cool winter mornings.
Three infinity pools, each kept at a different temperature, run from east to west at The Setai, Miami Beach. They sit at ground level among tall palms, next to the beach. This infinity pool hotel in Miami is on Collins Avenue in South Beach. In 2026 all three pools are open to hotel guests, with daybeds on a first-come, first-served basis. The lap pool is kept at 24 C (75 F) for swimming. The center pool is warmer, at 29 C (85 F), and is the one for lounging. The family pool is the warmest, at 32 C (90 F). Sixteen poolside cabanas line the deck, and the east-west layout faces both sunrise and sunset.
The hotel joins a restored 1930s Art Deco building with an oceanfront glass tower. Its 157 accommodations include Art Deco Suites in the historic building and Ocean Suites in the tower, where the ocean view suites have private balconies over the Atlantic Ocean. The Penthouse fills the 40th floor of the tower and has its own private rooftop pool, available only on request. On the beach, guests get private service with chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks.
The three restaurants are Jaya for South Asian food, Japón for contemporary Japanese dinners and Ocean Grill, a Mediterranean-Italian spot beside the pools and the beach. Each evening the open-air courtyard hosts the Asian Night Bazaar, with aerialists and a resident DJ. The Valmont spa has treatment rooms with ocean views; children under 16 are not allowed in the spa and fitness areas. The Setai holds Two MICHELIN Keys.
Best for: couples who want a design-led beachfront stay in South Beach, and travelers who plan to swim laps every morning.

The National Hotel Miami Beach is an Art Deco landmark from 1939 on Collins Avenue in South Beach, set on the oceanfront with direct beach access. As an infinity pool hotel in Miami, it stands out for length: its infinity pool, shared by all hotel guests, runs more than 60 meters (200 feet), and the hotel bills it as the longest infinity pool in Miami Beach. The pool crosses a palm garden toward the Atlantic Ocean, lined with loungers and private cabanas, and a smaller second pool at the far end of the main pool is heated year-round.
The National is an adults-only hotel: its published policy sets a minimum age of 21 to check in and 16 to stay. The pool is open from dawn until dusk to hotel guests and members, with drinks and light bites served on the deck. In 2026 the hotel says that day passes and pool cabanas may be available depending on occupancy and season, and it recommends booking them in advance.
The 137 rooms and suites are split between the historic tower and the Cabana Building beside the pool. Ocean View rooms in the tower look out over the beach and the pool, while Cabana Rooms and Cabana Suites have private terraces facing the pool and the palms. At the top, a three-level Penthouse Suite sits under the tower's cupola. For dining, Mareva1939 serves Spanish cuisine on the terrace and Aqua Grill & Bar covers the pool and beach. The spa offers massages and facials. Best for: couples on a beach break in South Beach and travelers who like historic Art Deco hotels.
The Palladium Pool at Eden Roc Miami Beach is an infinity edge pool facing the Atlantic Ocean, with hot tubs beside it for soaking at sunset. It is one of three pools at this oceanfront resort on Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, all open to hotel guests. The Main Pool is the largest area, with poolside daybeds and beach cabanas, and families are welcome there. The Eden Roc Garden & Aquatica Pool sits at beach level among palms and tropical flowers, with live music on weekends. In 2026 visitors without a room can also buy a day pass to the three pools through ResortPass.
Designed by architect Morris Lapidus, this infinity pool hotel in Miami Beach has welcomed guests for more than six decades and keeps a colorful 1950s Florida style. Guest rooms have large balconies facing the ocean or the city skyline, and Bay View Rooms have partial views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The one- and two-bedroom corner suites add a separate living room, a dining room and panoramic windows toward the ocean, while bi-level lofts come with a patio.
Nobu Miami and Ocean Social, a seaside restaurant for lunch, dinner and sunset drinks, are the main restaurants on site. Esencia Wellness Spa and an ocean-view fitness center open around the clock complete the resort. The minimum check-in age is 18.
Best for: couples and beach lovers who want a classic oceanfront resort in Mid-Beach with a choice of pools.

A 14th-floor pool deck is the center of The Grayson Miami, an infinity pool hotel in Miami's downtown, on Biscayne Boulevard.

A pool bar on the same floor serves cocktails and Latin American-inspired snacks, and hotel guests get two complimentary drinks during a daily early-evening hour. The terrace around the pool is also used for private receptions. Guests must be 21 or older to check in.
The hotel occupies the first 15 floors of the Marquis Residences building and has about 130 rooms.

Dua Miami is the former SLS Brickell, a 124-room Autograph Collection hotel in Brickell, the financial district on the mainland, with architecture by Philippe Starck. Its pool area, Dua Pool, makes it an infinity pool hotel in Miami: two infinity pools, a hot tub and a cold plunge share one deck. The hotel calls it a rooftop, but the deck sits above the street with the tower rising beside it. The pools are shared by all hotel guests and open from sunrise to sunset, with loungers on a first come, first served basis. The view from the deck takes in the Brickell skyline and the towers of Downtown Miami.
Visitors can use the deck too: in 2026 the hotel sells day passes, with cabana and daybed packages, through ResortPass. A poolside bar serves cocktails and light fare, and the deck can be booked for private events. The minimum age to check in is 21, and families are welcome, with cribs and rollaway beds on request.

The beach starts right behind Marriott Stanton South Beach, a boutique hotel on Ocean Drive in South of Fifth, the southern end of South Beach. This infinity pool hotel in Miami has two heated infinity pools shared by all guests, with a whirlpool set between them. In 2026 the hotel describes both pools as open to hotel guests from morning until sunset. The pool deck sits on the ocean side of the building, next to the sand and the Atlantic Ocean.
Towels are provided on the beach, and the resort fee includes two beach chairs per room each day. Umbrellas, cabanas and daybeds can be rented, and Lolo's Surf Cantina brings food and drinks to guests at the pool and on the beach.

The One-Bedroom Suite adds a separate living area and a dining table for four.
Azabu Miami Beach serves Japanese cuisine and has a sushi counter and a cocktail bar, while Lolo's Surf Cantina serves Baja-inspired Mexican food and also breakfast. Stanton Spa has a full menu of treatments, from couples massages to facials, and the hotel accepts small dogs for a fee. Best for: couples who want a heated pool and the beach in the same place, and travelers bringing a small dog.
From the rooftop of Novotel Miami Brickell, the view takes in the green canopy of Simpson Park, a preserved hardwood forest next door, framed by Brickell towers and Biscayne Bay. The infinity pool up here is shared by all hotel guests and sits on a pink-hued pool deck with loungers along one side. It is a 4-star infinity pool hotel in Miami, set in Brickell, the financial district on the mainland.
Vista Rooftop Bar and Lounge is a few steps from the pool and serves cocktails and a signature menu with views of the Miami skyline. The rooftop pool deck is also booked for events such as cocktail parties, for up to 120 guests. In 2026, Miami's official tourism board lists a day pass for this pool, so visitors who are not staying can ask the hotel about the current terms.
Rooms are modern and air-conditioned, with city or bay views. The Superior Bay View rooms face Biscayne Bay, and the one-bedroom Skyline Suite measures close to 90 square meters (970 square feet), also with a bay view.

Across Collins Avenue from the beach in Mid-Beach, AC Hotel Miami Beach is an infinity pool hotel in Miami with its pool on the roof. The hotel describes it as a rooftop infinity-edge pool, and it is the hotel's one outdoor pool, shared by all guests. The water is heated, the deck is open from morning into the evening, and the view looks east over the Atlantic Ocean and the neighboring hotel towers.
The pool deck has private daybeds and cabanas, and AC Pool Bar serves cocktails and small plates for sharing at the loungers. Guests who prefer the sea can use the beach across the street: the daily amenity fee covers two beach chairs, a fitness class and a two-hour bike rental each day.
Rooms and suites have a minimalist, European-inspired design with smart TVs, and ocean-view rooms face the Atlantic through floor-to-ceiling windows. Room types include King rooms and rooms with two queen beds. Breakfast at AC Kitchen is extra, and Gin & Collins pairs a gin-focused cocktail menu with Latin-inspired plates.

Of the four pools at 1 Hotel South Beach, the Rooftop Pool is the one that sets the hotel apart. It sits 18 stories above the beach, with open views over the Atlantic Ocean, and it is an adults-only area for guests aged 21 and over. It is open daily from morning until sundown, and cabanas can be reserved on the deck. The rest of the hotel welcomes all ages, although a guest must be 18 or older to book a room.
The hotel stands on Collins Avenue at the northern end of South Beach, in Miami Beach, along about 180 meters (600 feet) of shoreline with a private beach. Down on the beach, guests can reserve daybeds, and each room comes with beach chairs and an umbrella. The Center Pool is a large pool area with cabanas, daybeds, ocean views and a hot tub the size of a small pool, with The Sandbox restaurant beside it. Two more pools sit on the second floor: the Cabana Pool, lined with ten cabanas, and the South Pool, which faces the beach.
Rooms use reclaimed wood, greenery and locally sourced materials, with filtered water taps in every room, and pets are welcome. Suites have floor-to-ceiling windows with city and ocean views, and some categories add a balcony or an oceanfront position. The hotel holds one MICHELIN Key in the 2026 selection.

Families and adults get separate pools at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, a 27-story oceanfront tower in Bal Harbour, a small village north of Surfside on the same barrier island as Miami Beach. Both are heated outdoor pools on the resort's oceanfront grounds. The Resort Pool, framed by palms and rows of loungers, is open to children of all ages. The Tranquility Pool, with its own sundeck and whirlpool and views of the Atlantic Ocean, is reserved for guests 18 and older. Both pools are open from morning until late afternoon.
Beyond the pools, the resort's beach runs about 300 meters (1,000 feet), with loungers, oversized daybeds and service on the sand. For a full day outdoors, the hotel offers Oceanfront Day Villas: air-conditioned cabanas with a private lounge, a full bathroom, a dining table and a daybed facing the ocean, looked after by a St. Regis butler.
All 216 rooms and suites have balconies with ocean views, and the marble bathrooms have walk-in rainforest showers and separate soaking tubs. The interiors, by Yabu Pushelberg, draw on Miami's Art Deco style. Atlantikós serves Mediterranean food by the ocean, and BH Prime is the resort's steakhouse. Bal Harbour Shops sit directly across Collins Avenue. Under the 2026 hotel policy, the guest who checks in must be at least 21.
Best for: families who want a family pool by the beach, apart from the adults' pool, and couples who prefer the quieter 18+ Tranquility Pool.
15 room options
from $360/night*
Where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, Kimpton EPIC Hotel has two outdoor pools on a 16th-floor terrace, which the hotel calls its rooftop pools. The deck has skyline views over the river and the towers of Brickell, with the bay on the horizon. This 411-room Kimpton hotel stands on the waterfront in Downtown Miami.
The pools are open from sunrise to sunset and are mainly reserved for hotel guests. Loungers, daybeds and private cabanas line the terrace. Cabanas can also be booked for the day. In 2026 the hotel says select day experiences may be open to visitors, so check with it first. An outdoor pool bar serves drinks from the morning, and a DJ plays on weekend afternoons, so the deck has a social feel.

The family-sized suites add a separate parlor with living and dining areas and a pull-out sofa bed. Zuma, a modern Japanese restaurant, is on site, and Privai Spa + Fitness offers spa treatments and fitness classes. Dogs of all sizes are welcome, with no breed restrictions.

In Surfside, a quiet residential beach town just north of Miami Beach, Grand Beach Hotel Surfside is an all-suite oceanfront hotel with three pools in its beachside building. Its signature is the Sky Pool, on the roof next to the 12th-floor Sky Bar, facing the Atlantic behind a glass railing. The Sky Pool is adults-only, and the hotel does not publish a minimum age for it on its website. The other two pools sit at beach level, with hot tubs, and are open to all guests, children included.
The beach-level pools lead straight onto the sand, and the hotel has direct beach access, with beach chairs and umbrellas provided and food and drink service on the pool and beach decks. The hotel also has a palm garden and an oceanside jogging path for guests. Guests in the Townside building, across Collins Avenue, have their own rooftop pool deck with two pools and hot tubs, plus full use of the beachfront pools and the beach.
Most suites have separate living and sleeping areas, a private balcony and two full bathrooms. The Oceanfront suites look straight down on the shoreline, while the Sunset View suites face west toward Biscayne Bay. La Plage serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu of Latin and American flavors, and the Sky Bar serves cocktails and light fare next to the Sky Pool. Yoga, Pilates, meditation and fitness classes are included with the stay every day, and the Wellness Center Spa offers massages and facials.
Best for: couples who want a quiet rooftop pool with an ocean view after a morning on the beach, and families who need a two-bedroom suite.
Stay on Miami Beach for the Atlantic Ocean next to the pool, and in Brickell or Downtown Miami for a high-floor pool with a city skyline. Miami Beach is a barrier island of about nine miles, divided into South Beach, Mid-Beach and North Beach, with Surfside and Bal Harbour just to the north.
South Beach runs from South Pointe Park to 23rd Street and holds the Art Deco District, Ocean Drive and the Lincoln Road pedestrian street. Three hotels on this page are here. The National Hotel Miami Beach and The Setai, Miami Beach stand on Collins Avenue, and Marriott Stanton South Beach is in the South of Fifth area at the southern tip. 1 Hotel South Beach sits just north of 23rd Street, on the Mid-Beach border.
Mid-Beach has quieter beaches with more space on the sand, and the Miami Beach Boardwalk runs along the shore. Eden Roc Miami Beach and the AC Hotel by Marriott Miami Beach are both on Collins Avenue here. Farther north, Surfside is a one-square-mile town with a small-town feel and Grand Beach Hotel Surfside, while Bal Harbour is a quiet luxury enclave with The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort.
On the mainland, Brickell is the financial district on Biscayne Bay. Here Dua Miami, Autograph Collection has its pools on a raised deck beside the tower, and Novotel Miami Brickell has a rooftop pool. In Downtown, The Grayson Miami stands on Biscayne Boulevard, and Kimpton EPIC Hotel sits on the waterfront where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay. None of the mainland hotels has an ocean beach at the door.
For a first visit without children, our pick is the National Hotel Miami Beach, because it pairs a long oceanfront infinity pool with the Art Deco District around it.
Book an oceanfront pool on Miami Beach for sea views and beach days, and a rooftop pool on the mainland for skyline views away from the sand. On Miami Beach, the infinity pools sit at ground level in gardens and terraces that face the Atlantic. The National's pool runs through a palm garden toward the sea. The Setai's three infinity pools are oriented east to west to catch both sunrise and sunset, and Marriott Stanton has two infinity pools on Ocean Drive. At Eden Roc, only the Palladium Pool has an infinity edge, with direct ocean views and hot tubs close by, as the resort's pool page explains.
On the mainland, the pools sit high above the street. Dua Miami has two infinity pools on one raised deck with views of Downtown Miami, as Dua's pool page shows. The hotel calls it a rooftop, though the tower rises beside it. The Grayson's infinity pool is on a 14th-floor deck above Biscayne Boulevard, and the Novotel's rooftop infinity pool looks over Downtown and Biscayne Bay. Kimpton EPIC has two pools on a 16th-floor terrace, which the hotel calls its rooftop pools, with views over the Miami River and the Brickell towers. The AC Hotel sits between the two styles, with a heated rooftop pool in Mid-Beach and views toward the beach.
Our pick for an oceanfront infinity pool is The Setai, and for a skyline pool deck it is Dua Miami, where two infinity pools share one deck.
Couples find adults-only pool areas inside larger hotels, such as 1 Hotel South Beach and The St. Regis Bal Harbour. Check which pool each age rule covers, because the other pools stay open to all ages. At 1 Hotel South Beach, the rooftop pool 18 stories above the beach is for guests 21 and over, according to the hotel's pools and beach page. Its three other pools are open to everyone. The St. Regis Bal Harbour keeps its Tranquility Pool for guests 18 and over, next to a Resort Pool for all ages, as the resort's pool listing shows.
Grand Beach Hotel Surfside calls its rooftop Sky Pool adults-only on its amenities page, but it does not state a minimum age there, so confirm it before you book. The National is adults-only as a whole hotel: guests must be 16 or older to stay and 21 to check in, according to its hotel policies.
Our pick for couples is 1 Hotel South Beach, because its rooftop pool is kept for guests 21 and over and has open ocean views. Choose the National if you want an infinity pool at sea level in a hotel with no guests under 16.
The oceanfront resorts with a separate family pool work best for children, and three stand out: Eden Roc, The Setai and The St. Regis Bal Harbour. Eden Roc's main pool is its largest pool area and is set up for families, while the Palladium Pool offers the infinity edge and the ocean view. The Setai keeps a dedicated family pool, the warmest of its three, and at The St. Regis the Resort Pool is open to guests of all ages.
Grand Beach Hotel Surfside is the lower-priced beach option for families, with two oceanfront pools and hot tubs open to all guests. The mainland pool decks have no beach beside them, and the National takes no guests under 16, so both work better for couples than for a family week.
Our pick for families is Eden Roc Miami Beach: a large family pool, an infinity-edge pool with ocean views and the beach are all in one Mid-Beach resort.
The mainland and Mid-Beach hotels are usually the lower-cost way into an infinity pool in Miami, while the large oceanfront resorts sit at the top of the range. Novotel Miami Brickell, The Grayson and the AC Hotel in Mid-Beach are generally the most affordable infinity pool hotels on this page. Grand Beach Hotel Surfside sits at a similar price level with the beach at the door.
The National, Eden Roc, Dua Miami, Kimpton EPIC and Marriott Stanton form a middle group. The Setai, 1 Hotel South Beach and The St. Regis Bal Harbour are the premium choices, where the rate buys large oceanfront grounds and full beach service. Set your budget first and then pick the area, because the lower and middle groups both include beach and city options.
For value, our pick is Novotel Miami Brickell: a rooftop infinity pool with Downtown and bay views at one of the lowest rates on this page.
Two hotels on this page hold MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 selection for the United States: The Setai, Miami Beach has Two Keys and 1 Hotel South Beach has One Key. The Keys judge the whole hotel rather than the pool, so they are a signal for service, design and consistency.
The Setai pairs its Two Keys with three infinity pools, each kept at a different temperature. 1 Hotel South Beach suits travelers who want a Key hotel with a rooftop pool for guests 21 and over.
For a special occasion, our pick is The Setai, for its Two MICHELIN Keys and its three infinity pools by the ocean.
Yes, at some hotels. The Miami tourism board notes that visitors can use hotel pools as guests or with a day pass, on terms that vary by hotel and day. The passes on its guide to Miami pools ranged from about 50 USD to 300 USD in 2026, with weekends and holidays at the higher end.
Among the hotels on this page, the tourism board lists day passes at the National and at Novotel Miami Brickell. Several other hotels sell passes through third-party platforms, and those offers change often, so check the hotel's own website before you pay. Cabanas and daybeds usually cost extra.
Our pick for a single pool day is Novotel Miami Brickell for a skyline rooftop, or the National if you want an afternoon at an oceanfront infinity pool.
The best pool weather runs from November to April, inside South Florida's dry season, which the National Weather Service dates from mid-October to mid-May. January highs are around 25 C (77 F). Early mornings can drop to about 16 C (61 F), so a heated pool helps if you like to swim before breakfast.
The wet season, from mid-May to mid-October, brings heat, humidity and afternoon showers, with August highs around 33 C (91 F). Sargassum seaweed can also reach the beaches from March through October, most often in June and July, although the city of Miami Beach clears it daily in season. Pools on the mainland are not affected by seaweed, so a summer trip leans toward Brickell or Downtown.
Book November to April for the most comfortable pool days; in summer, a Brickell pool deck such as Dua Miami keeps the seaweed question out of your plans.
Check which pool has the infinity edge, who may use it and when it is open, because many Miami hotels run several pools with different rules. At Eden Roc the infinity edge is only at the Palladium Pool, and at 1 Hotel South Beach, Grand Beach Hotel Surfside and The St. Regis the rooftop or quiet pool has an age limit while the main pools welcome everyone. Pool hours often end at sunset: Dua's pool deck is open from sunrise to sunset, and Marriott Stanton's two infinity pools are open from morning until sunset.
Check that the hotel is operating, too. W South Beach closed in 2026 and is scheduled to reopen as Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach in 2027. The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour is closed for a full renovation and plans to reopen in 2027. For now, The St. Regis is the Bal Harbour option on this page.
Our pick for the simplest rules is Marriott Stanton South Beach: both of its pools have an infinity edge and are open to all hotel guests.
