BLACKBERRY MOUNTAIN

Take advantage of the off-season and plan a little Florida summer staycation. Miami is so close, yet it often seems a world away. With a gazillion happening restaurants, museums and, of course, the actual beach, it is about as fun as a weekend getaway gets.

The Setai Miami Beach is a five-star hotel on the beach and a perfect spot for those seeking a luxurious weekend. The accommodations feature a modern far-east vibe. The on-property restaurant Jaya, is a destination unto itself. In keeping with the Asian theme, the restaurant features dishes from Thailand, Korea, India, China and Japan. Jaya has an indoor dining room, or guests can dine al fresco in Jaya’s courtyard, which features a retractable roof and a sleek stone-filled pool stretching from end to end.

And what would a five-star hotel be without a spa? Have no fear; you can book one of your favorite treatments or try one of the spa’s innovative offerings.

A weekend at the Setai is a lavish treat.
