In the vibrant heart of South Beach, The Setai exists as a profound paradox—a sanctuary of hushed tranquility amidst the energy of Ocean Drive. This is not a typical Miami resort; it is a meticulously curated environment where the iconic heritage of a 1930s Art Deco building is seamlessly woven with the minimalist elegance of Asian aesthetics. The air is scented with frangipani and the soft sounds of a gamelan drift through spaces defined by teak, black granite, and Javanese stone. Here, the legendary Miami sun is enjoyed from one of three temperature-controlled pools or a private cabana, creating an atmosphere of cool, collected serenity designed for the global elite who value discretion above all else.
Guests choose between the intimate, historic Art Deco Suites and the vast, residential Ocean Suites in the modern tower, many with full kitchens and private terraces. The resort’s signature is its trio of thermal pools, alongside a pristine private beach, a Valmont-affiliated spa, and anticipatory Butler service.
Dining is a global journey. Jaya offers a celebrated South Asian menu and a legendary Caviar Brunch. Japón delivers contemporary Japanese precision, while the Ocean Grill provides beachfront Italian-Mediterranean fare. The Bar, with its rare whiskies and live jazz, is a destination in itself.
Our Concierge Note:
The Setai’s value lies in its mastery of serene, anticipatory service. Our role is to secure the ideal accommodation—a historic suite for character or a tower residence for space—and to orchestrate the details that define a stay: a prime cabana, reservations at the sought-after Chef’s Table, and private transfers. This is the definitive choice for clients who require South Beach’s energy as a backdrop, not an intrusion, ensuring their experience is one of flawless, peaceful luxury from arrival to departure.
