spa day in Miami at Agua...

Pool which is amazing and only available to guests of the hotel.

Interior of spa (although I don't remember it being quite so luxe & spacious.)

I went to Miami last weekend with some friends for a relaxing getaway of warm sun, good food and a spa day! I have been eagerly waiting to try the spa at The Standard in South Beach but they were booked, so my friends and I ended up at the Agua spa at The Delano in South Beach. The Delano, also known as "heaven on earth" aims to please and I can't say I have any complaints.

My friends opted for massages that they were very happy with and I received a 60 minute basic facial. My friend Susan booked the appointment so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised when the esthetician informed me that I would be receiving the signature organic facial. At Agua spa they only use organic product lines for the facials and do not preform any "skin-irritating" procedures. The whole experience is about soothing and relaxing the skin and body. The facial consisted of a good skin cleansing, a fruit peel and a mask or two. I was left to relax, then urged to apply sunscreen.
The spa is located on the top floor of the hotel so they have a private sun deck that we were welcome to lounge on. The Delano is always a must for the ultimate South Beach experience day or night, the convenient spa with organic product definitely adds to the "heaven on earth" appeal.
