The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour, Bal Harbour, Miami, Florida, USA
Tranquil and luxurious on 750 feet of pristine sands, with only two rooms per floor, so the apartment-style accommodations – in particular the suites – are huge. Great for romance-seeking couples, with a sedate pool scene and in walking distance to Bal Harbour's high-end mall, nightlife and South Florida's thriving art scene – though the peaceful spa, and inviting waterfront restaurant, Artisan Beach House, may entice you not to leave.
