Canyon Ranch Miami Beach
The Canyon Ranch brand is synonymous with healthy living. Canyon Ranch Miami Beach features the Aquavana experience, accomplished with the Crystal Steam Room, the Igloo and the Hydrospa. Dining is of international gourmet standard, yet is always healthful and adheres to the Canyon Ranch's detailed holistic standards.
Located on the northern end of Miami Beach, Canyon Ranch is an easy drive from the area's best boating and diving locales, including the Haulover Inlet and Biscayne National Park. Room rates are quite expensive, but the high price yields what The New York Times terms a "Shamanic journey."
