The Setai, Miami Beach

The Setai sits on Collins Avenue, mere steps from the shoreline of Miami Beach. The property features a pool deck that bridges the transition between the frantic energy of the strip and the quiet of its private beach.

While the rest of the street consists of high-traffic resorts and constant noise, this hotel uses a restrained aesthetic that separates it from its louder neighbours. The appeal lies in the contrast: you get the same ocean access as the sprawling complexes to the north, but with a degree of isolation that feels intentional. It is the better choice for those who want proximity to the water without the density of Lummus Park, which sits a fifteen-minute walk down the coast.
