The Setai


Asian simplicity and a passionate devotion to service add a transcendent quality to every stay at The Setai. Set in a prized location on Miami’s South Beach, the ultraluxe hotel pampers guests with a host of plush amenities: Dux beds finished in Irish linens, flat-screen LCD and plasma TVs, Bose surround-sound DVD-CD systems and Lavazza espresso machines in all 131 suites measuring 600 square feet and up.

Recreation at the resort centers on the pristine stretch of white sand that fronts the hotel. Sunbathers and people watchers while away the hours on comfortable beach daybeds and water pods or dip into any of three swimming pools close by. More active guests visit the fitness center, charter a yacht, hire a personal trainer or try their hand at golf, tennis, and deep-sea diving nearby. A massage or Balinese-inspired treatment at the spa (or in suite) rejuvenates even the weariest of travelers.

South Beach’s year-round climate creates a demand for outdoor meetings. The Setai answers that call with courtyard, poolside and terrace locations ideal for cocktail receptions or sit-down dinners. Four indoor venues round out the offerings. Some visitors find their Zen moment at day’s end with a visit to The Restaurant, where they dine on sophisticated international fare indoors or alfresco, surrounded by quiet ponds and garden pergolas.
Planner Reviews
Thank you very much for ensuring the success of our WPO meeting last week. The Setai is a wonderful destination. I am quite confident our small group will return regularly in the years to come.
