When you think about Miami the first thing that pops into your head is "beach" right? But here is another sexy option if you are traveling to the magic city and want to show off your best summer outfits. Let me tell you about "THE BEST POOLS IN MIAMI". Luxurious, sexy, crowded, exclusive and vibrant, there is an option for each and every taste. In Miami we mix the luxurious and lavish with the classic and authentic. Each space has a personality of its own so grab your bikini, put on some sun block (or a lot) and head to any of these fabulous pools. They won't disappoint!!
1) THE 1 HOTEL ROOFTOP POOL
This newly remodeled hotel used to be the Gansevoort. The Gansenvoort (about 6 years ago) offered "Jersey Shore" style soirees with college bikinis contest, muscle showings, and baby oil dripping from a very greased up crowed.
Thankfully The 1 rooftop pool is now a different story. This rooftop hosts some of the best private events in Miami. It is a sexy venue fully remodeled with incredible ocean front views, amazing drinks, and guaranteed sun all day. Small and exclusive, this is a great spot if you are looking for some sun and also if you want to show off your best resort outfit. The food is incredible and you will be sure to make friends with interesting people from all over the world - I love their international ultra chic crowd . The 1 rooftop is one of the TOP pools in Miami right now. With it's great location and fantastic ambiance, it's a MUST see. Did I mentioned this is the only roof top pool on Collins avenue? So Miami!

2) THE ICON POOL AT THE VICEROY HOTEL
As a former resident, the best way to describe the pool at the Icon would be: a playground for adults. There is so much stimulation here that you will feel like you are back in college. Many of my friends that still live there see it as living in a dorm with ultra luxurious amenities. You will need a lot of cash to play in this luxury adult playground, but it is worth it. It even has the largest pool in Florida!
The hot tub is inviting, sexy, and packed even in the hot Miami weather. The hot tub also claims to be the largest one in the nation. The décor theme is Alice in Wonderland meets Miami: oversize furniture, rabbits everywhere, and one killer view of the Biscayne Bay at the edge of the pool makes you feel like you are truly in Wonderland. Let your fantasies become a reality in this work hard play hard escape. The Icon pool is the perfect place to mingle and socialize with the locals. If you are looking for a relaxing pool time, be sure to go during the week—the weekends are madness. Enjoy the great drinks, great DJ, and great snacks by the pool and one incredible Bayfront and /city view. The Icon pool is also home for some of the best looking people in Miami! Bring your hottest outfit and enjoy the eye candy. Being out of shape is not allowed unless your bank account is fat too. This is probably my favorite spot in the Brickell/Downtown area. Definitely check it out!

3) THE STANDARD
The location of this pool is key to its success and uniqueness. Hidden away from civilization in the Venetian Island, The Standard offers one of the more chill pool options in Miami. It's sexy and has killer views of the sunset. It is also tranquil and peaceful, like being in your own backyard.
The Standard pool is the perfect place to re connect with your inner self or with your partner (the mixed sex spa options are incredible here). I enjoy it the most with friends: taking paddle yoga classes, drinking at sunset and relaxing in their secret garden. Perfect spot to read, breathe fresh air and regenerate in an Art Deco environment. It's so cozy here that you will feel like a true Miamian vacationing back in the 1950s. The crowd is particularly interesting here, and members can be found from old school Miami Beach to northerners looking for a different spin on things. Artsy, fashionable home away from home! Make it your secret little place away from touristy South Beach. Definitely one of my personal favorites.

4) THE MONDRIAN
The Mondrian pool is another one of my favorites for people watching and sunsets. This is where the hot models come to get a tan. I have spotted some of the most amazing bodies in this pool. Definitely a good looking crew on the weekends but still relaxed enough to enjoy the bay breeze. During the week I love to schedule business meetings here. The Mondrian is a hectic and vibrant environment where the "beautiful minds" thrive. Their friendly staff will make you feel at home while popping a bottle of Rose in your name. If you are feeling extra celebratory rent a cabana (about $2500 minimum) and this will guarantee a superior experience poolside.

5) The W Hotel
The pool at The W Hotel, Always a happening spot! You can expect hip, young crowd surrounded by beautiful tropical luxury. It is the perfect pool to lounge with friends, relax to the sexy beats and do some celebrity spotting in between. I love the feeling of openness, the luscious palm trees, the ocean breeze. The W Pool is a picturesque location to enjoy the SoBe sunshine. I particularly enjoy the healthy bites from their WET bar. There are a lot of organic options if you are not looking to drink alcohol but instead replenish your body from the inside out. Get high on the green smoothies at the W Pool.

6) THE EPIC
The pool at the Epic Hotel is for the work hard play hard "local tourist". Located in the core of Downtown Miami, this pool offers a feeling of corporate world meets the spa LOL why? Because it is surrounded by the top corporations in Miami and the scene can get pretty executive (but still resort chic) here. It is the perfect place to unwind after a busy week at work. Their Friday happy hour is one of the biggest in the financial district. The Epic pool is small and quiet, but a perfect place to mingle with your young professionals. It also offers a great scene for wellness activities - The Exhale Spa is located in the hotel so make sure you check out their class schedule.
This pool sits high up on the 15th floor. The views are KILLER - they span Brickell and Downtown - I love to sit at the pool around dusk time and admire the spectacular real estate on Brickell Avenue. City lights come to me!!

7) THE FONTAINEBLEAU
The Fontainebleau Pool is another Miami classic that re opened in 2008 to take over the Miami Beach scene. There is a HUGE pool and plenty of amenities where you can lose yourself and get your party ON. Some of the best DJs have performed at The Pool at The Fontainebleau. Massive parties for Ultra and New Years Eve are held here, they are outrageous, and I'm not talking about the pricing. Feel like a kid in a candy store once you enter this surreal world in a bikini.
This pool is one that you have to experience at least once in your life and preferably when there is a big production in town. Just talking about it makes me excited!! LUXURY, FUN, CHIC

8) THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL BRICKELL KEY
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is in the heart of Miami's financial district so it is hard to imagine how serene it is. The pool is very private, never packed with big crowds, and this is great as you will have a city retreat to yourself.
I love the scene here because wannabes don't make it to this side of the bridge. I've even seen Justin Bieber and Britney Spears soaking in the sun poolside. The Pool at The Mandarin is so under the radar and low key that you could be laying next to the president of Brazil and nobody would make a big deal about it. I give this pool an A+ for its networking scene and location. Nobody would expect The Mandarin's man-made private beach in the heart of the city. This is a breathtaking venue if you are planning an intimate gathering. The Mandarin Pool and private Beach are a VERY popular spot for weddings and engagement parties in Miami.

9) THE DELANO
The pool at The Delano Hotel is a Miami classic - the ultimate seaside luxury setting with refined outdoor environment. This beautiful pool is an intimate retreat in the heart of South Beach, designed by the renowned Philippe Starck. The music is always on point, and this place will transport you back to the chic Art Deco era filled with glamorous characters and the latest fashion. This pool is the perfect spot if you are looking for a relaxing time, good vibes and excellent mojitos. It will remind you of a Miami Beach post card. I will never forget going to South Beach when none of the new hotels were there yet, and the Delano was the place to be. It is so chic, fabulous, and small enough to feel exclusive. I've been to some of the most amazing parties in this pool: swim week, winter music conference, New Years Eve! So many memories, so little time!

10) SLS
The pool at the SLS Hotel has one of the craziest pool parties you will attend in your life. Wild dancing, intense PDA, twerking, and champagne showers can all be found here at the SLS. This hotel opened just a few years ago but because of the strong brand recognition it has become a MUST visit spot during your weekend adventures. The Saturday and Sunday pool parties are EPIC!! You will not leave this pool disappointed, but tired for sure. The pool at the SLS is not a quick stop before a big night out. This day party will drain every single ounce of energy out of your body. You will not exactly have time to lay out under the sun, relax, and chill. Most likely you will be dancing non-stop and tire your eyes with MUCHA action while mingling with people from all over the world. Great spot to find "las mamis calientes" - voluptuous bodies from all nationalities, get together, one big accelerating experience. Definitely the place to be if you are looking for a sexy, hip, vibrant scene.
