1. Strolling the beach beyond the boardwalk, while staying at Soho Beach House

  2. Before the midday madness: the beach in front of The Raleigh.

  3. The view from a north-facing guest room (mini apartment, really) at Canyon Ranch Miami Beach.

  4. Keepin’ the summertime love rollin’ this week, with a beachy series. Today, a view of the beach at Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles.

  5. Why, hello there, Mister Tanning Butler! You can find the one and only person in this position at The Ritz-Carlton South Beach

  6. The infamous Fontainebleau! Big on space and scene, not so on peace and quiet.

  7. Here’s something a little more peaceful, in keeping with the zen nature of Canyon Ranch Miami Beach

  8. Acqualina, Sunny Isles. This European-feeling resort isn’t really my cup of tea overall (very family-oriented with lots of wealth on display), but I do love their red umbrella-dressed pool scene. 

  9. This week, I’ll be bringing you a special series of pool photos straight from Miami Beach. Y’know, to get you into the summer mood…

    First up, the legendary pool at The Raleigh.
