Spa of Eden at the historic Eden Roc Renaissance Resort - "Ranked one of the top fitness spas in the country, the Spa of Eden, is the perfect place to restore both body and soul." Just blocks from the Fontainebleau. You can get all your spa needs handled. The Eden Roc also has a great gym, which I belong to. Check out their website at http:// www.edenrocresort.com/spa.htm

The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key [just over the Brickell Bridge down town] the BEST off the beach option. "The 15,000-square-foot Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is an award-winning sanctuary. It features 17 private treatment rooms, including six stunning split-level suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay." The hotel is gorgeous as well. http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/526000004.asp

If a manicure or pedicure or both is on your agenda your best bet is "Some Like It Hot," a beauty salon and day spa located in the store Brownes Beauty & Co., on Lincoln Road Mall on South Beach. I escape here weekly for some TLC. http://www.brownesbeauty.com/home.phtml
