Inside the Hotel...

The guests of this hotel may take full advantage of the many luxurious amenities on offer. The vast, infinity outdoor pool is the place to splash about under the incomparable Florida sun. Perhaps afterwards guests can rejuvenate their mind, body and soul by making ample use of the 15,000-square-foot spa, tai chi and yoga classes. For those who prefer a more direct approach, the fully equipped fitness centre is more than capable of meeting their expectations. As the day winds down, you can sway in the hammocks that are throughout the private beach, whilst sipping refreshing juices and cocktails that are served by constantly strolling butlers.

The hotel also provides 15,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space decorated with silk wall hangings and rice-paper chandeliers. A business center has high-speed Internet access (surcharge), and business services include copying, faxing, audio-visual support, and equipment rental (surcharge), while wedding and banquet services are available.

For an exotic dining experience, guests can savour the tastes and sounds of the award winning 'Azul' restaurant or take your seat among the whole seashells, embedded in the terrazzo floors and relax in the sophisticated surroundings that is Cafe Sambal where one can sample Vietnamese Shrimp Salad, Mandarin Pad Thai - or an exotic selection of truffles. The Lobby Lounge provides the perfect setting for a friendly business meeting or drinks or dance your cares away to the scintillating sounds played at the Barefoot at Oasis, Miami`s hottest Friday night bash while those in need of some quiet contemplation can relax with a martini or a glass or two of fine wine, and enjoy the panoramic views of the Miami skyline and breathtaking Biscayne Bay through M-Bar`s floor to ceiling windows.
