Acqualina Resort & Spa
Set on more than four acres of pristine sands, this Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star beachfront property provides plenty of glitzy photogenic venues. Snag a selfie in the grand porte cochère, surrounded by a fleet of Rolls-Royces, or in one of the Five-Star ESPA spa’s Fendi chairs, sipping champagne. Acqualina itself means “water line,” so bring it home by angling yourself next to the infinity fountain, displaying the pools and ocean behind you.

The Biltmore
The fact that this elegant Four-Star resort is the only hotel in Miami designated a National Historic Landmark says it all. The Biltmore is a highly coveted backdrop for wedding photos with its tranquil Old World ambience beset by the Mediterranean-inspired architecture.
While brides love the glam, the gentlemen tend to focus their posts on The Biltmore Course, a jaw-dropping 6,800-yard gem of a golf course by Donald Ross.

Faena Hotel Miami Beach
Since its opening in 2015, this glamorous Five-Star spot has been an Instagram darling. The photo opportunities are endless, from the striking red-and-gold lobby, to the decadent room interiors and custom Juan Gatti-designed murals found throughout the property. Still, the most sought-after shot is with the 10-foot-tall, 24-karat gilded woolly mammoth skeleton by artist Damien Hirst on the terrace.
