Florida is usually celebrated for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife and family-friendly theme parks. But beyond flip-flops and fireworks lies a more serene side of the Sunshine State — one filled with world-class spas. For those seeking a luxurious wellness escape, Florida offers an unexpected sanctuary.
Whether you’re in search of soothing stillness, cutting-edge treatments or simply a beautiful setting to clear your mind, these standout spas take wellness to the next level.
Amrit Ocean Spa
With a name borrowed from Sanskrit meaning “elixir of life,” Amrit Ocean Spa lives up to its moniker. On Singer Island in Palm Beach County, this property spans seven beachfront acres and centers around Florida’s largest hotel spa: a four-story, 103,000-square-foot wellness sanctuary.
One of the resort’s signature features is a 1,200-square-foot hammam, inspired by Moroccan bathing rituals but refined with a contemporary touch. Most remarkable, however, is the Aayush Hydrothermal Experience, a 40,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy journey — the only one of its kind in Florida. Visitors move through a curated series of hot and cold plunge pools, an ultra-filtered lap pool, steam and sauna chambers, arctic chill fountains, a salt inhalation room and an effusion shower.
Amrit also offers a broad menu of integrative therapies — everything from acupuncture and chakra balancing to redlight therapy and Ayurvedic treatments like abhyanga, shirodhara and udvartana massages.
The spa features a sleek fitness center offering group classes and state-of-the-art equipment as well. And for guests in hope of a speedy recovery, onsite IV infusions are available in collaboration with Dr. Ara Suppiah, a respected sports medicine specialist.
This fall, choose from immersive options like the holistic Wellness and Longevity Retreat, a curated, multi-day experience designed to reset your body and mind in an immersive setting. From sleep optimization and Ayurvedic therapies to chef-led workshops and hydrotherapy rituals, every element is crafted to promote renewal and lasting transformation.
The Spa at Carillon Miami Beach
Set along the sands of North Miami Beach, Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star The Spa at Carillon Miami Beach is home to one of the largest spas on the East Coast — a 70,000-square-foot facility dedicated to well-being. While guests can certainly unwind with classic massages and facials, it’s the resort’s cutting-edge therapies that set it apart. The sanctuary specializes in high-tech healing, providing a suite of advanced treatments that includes infrared sauna sessions, vibroacoustic and electromagnetic therapies, full-body cryotherapy and Himalayan salt chambers designed to detoxify and energize.
Wellness-seeking travelers can also opt into multi-day programs like the Serenity & Renewal Retreat or the Sleep Well Retreat, both customized to encourage healing and personal balance. Overnight guests will enjoy suite-style accommodations with sweeping ocean views and private balconies, along with fresh, seasonal dining at The Strand, Carillon Miami Beach’s signature restaurant known for its focus on locally sourced, nutrient-rich cuisine.
New for 2025, The Spa at Carillon Miami will debut Inner Glow, a first-of-its-kind retreat tailored to women navigating menopause and perimenopause. This immersive five-day program blends cutting-edge diagnostics, personalized wellness plans and restorative therapies — all set against the resort’s tranquil beachfront backdrop. It’s a long-overdue luxury experience designed to support women through a powerful new chapter.
Spa Palmera
Set within The Boca Raton, the Five-Star Spa Palmera channels the romance and refinement of Spain’s Alhambra, with grand arches, mosaic-tiled fountains and a palm-lined courtyard that immediately transports you to somewhere that feels more like a Mediterranean estate than a hotel spa. Waterfall whirlpools, placid gardens and a private pool reserved exclusively for spa guests help complete this transformative outing.
The extensive treatment menu blends timeless techniques with modern indulgence, from Ayurvedic rituals and body polishes to bespoke facials and therapeutic massages. Afterward, guests can linger beneath the trees or retreat to the quiet of the spa’s soaking tubs and steam rooms. It’s a place where opulence meets stillness, offering a subdued session that’s as visually stunning as it is soothing.
Among the standout offerings is the Gemstone Awakening Massage. Known for its unique blend of physical relief and energetic rebalancing, it’s one of the spa’s most requested services. The treatment uses warm basalt and Himalayan stones paired with cool lapis lazuli to relieve deep tension while aligning the body’s energy.
SPA by JW at JW Marriott Tampa Water Street
Nestled along Tampa’s bustling Riverwalk, SPA by JW at JW Marriott Tampa Water Street offers a peaceful escape from the city’s growing buzz. With interiors bathed in natural light, subtle mid-century-modern touches and a palette of calming neutrals and coastal blues, it blends Florida chic with laid-back luxury.
While the setting alone invites relaxation, the treatment menu will impress even the most seasoned spa-goer. A standout is the JetPeel facial, an innovative, non-invasive service that uses pressurized oxygen to deliver micro-droplets deep into the skin. Each session includes lymphatic drainage, exfoliation and a customized infusion tailored to your needs. The result is an immediate glow without any downtime. It’s high-tech skincare with no needles and zero irritation — ideal for even sensitive skin.
Guests can also unwind with a Riverwalk Foot Ritual, an aromatic experience using rosemary and arnica to revive tired legs that have been walking around the city.
Spa guests enjoy exclusive access to a private terrace with loungers and a mineral whirlpool. As hotel occupancy allows, midweek visitors can also relax on the expansive rooftop pool deck dotted with palm trees and hanging chairs, and weekend spa-goers can purchase day passes as an add-on. For those who prefer their self-care with a view, patrons can greet the day with morning yoga on the sixth-floor rooftop lawn.
Whether you’re seeking skin rejuvenation, a moment of mindfulness or simply a luxe lounge spot with a view, SPA by JW delivers elevated calm in the heart of downtown Tampa.
The Spa at The Breakers Palm Beach
A crown jewel of waterfront opulence, Four-Star The Breakers Palm Beach is known for its timeless glamour. But tucked within the resort’s ocean-facing estate lies a sanctuary of calm: Four-Star The Spa at The Breakers Palm Beach.
The oasis’ Mediterranean-inspired courtyard invites guests to slow down and fully exhale before their treatment even begins. Inside, the space blends coastal elegance with modern serenity through mosaic accents, creamy tones and floor-to-ceiling windows that reflect the surrounding palms and sea. The treatment rooms, including a private spa suite with a chromotherapy tub and garden terrace, are personalized escapes ideal for couples or solo relaxation seekers.
The service menu combines tradition and innovation with a curated selection of facials, massages and body rituals using top-tier skincare lines like Guerlain and Tata Harper. Among the most coveted is The Spa’s signature treatment, the 80-minute Guerlain Black Orchid Facial, which blends science and nature to visibly reduce signs of aging. Another standout is the Tata Harper Body Wrap, an 80-minute pampering that envelops the body in a cocoon with nourishing botanicals while you enjoy a soothing foot or scalp massage. The treatment concludes with a hydrating layer of Tata Harper’s luxe balm or oil, leaving skin thoroughly replenished.
Post-treatment, guests can linger in the coed courtyard — The Breakers’ modern take on a classic Medici concept — or stroll along the beachfront property. From glamorous treatments to sweet touches like the Ice Cream Manicure and Pedicure for younger guests, this spa delivers rejuvenation as both an art and an everyday ritual.
