The Beach at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

"When this $1 billion–plus resort opened in 2012, Miami's North Beach entered a new era of glamour and haute living, with A-list big spenders rushing to stay in this 27-story, 243-room, triple-glass-tower masterpiece"

"Those wanting to be closer to the action could also try the comparably luxurious W South Beach"

"Regis brings oceanfront luxury to Art Basel devotees tired of the loud and glitzy South Beach scene"

"Of course, the white sandy beach directly in front of the hotel is a main draw, though the pools (which include one for kids and one for adults only) also offer luxe seating along with thoughtful extras such as complimentary fruit, cucumber water and sun care products"

"Renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's restaurant, J&G Grill, is a destination in its own right: Indulge beachside on Asian and French-inspired cuisine that features a mix of Vongerichten's greatest hits (think black truffle pizza with Fontina cheese) and straightforward grilled seafood, like yellowfin tuna and New Caledonia prawns"
