The best swimming pools in Miami. Dying to escape the beach crowds? Dive into—or just lounge by—these irresistible swimming pools instead.



Why go through the trouble of finding (and likely sneaking into) a pool when Miami’s got miles and miles ofbeaches? For starters, there are the cabanas, some of which come fully furnished with TVs and Wi-Fi, and the daytime parties—think cocktails and DJ sets. Then there’s the going home with a bag full of sand thing, which you can thoroughly avoid by booking an overnight stay at a hotel with a pool so grand it’s exclusive to guests (Miami loves its velvet ropes). Whatever your reason, we suggest paying a visit to Miami’s 10 best swimming pools.

Retro, woven lounge chairs in sunny yellow line this decidedly hip pool that overlooks the bay. Everyone’s welcome, as nonguests can purchase a day pass that grants them access to the pool and various spa amenities. Expect a chill vibe even on weekends, when locals make their way to the adjacent deck and bar area for happenings such as the Lazy Sunday barbecue


Coral Gables developer George Merrick built the Venetian Pool out of coral rock quarry back in the 1920s; since then it’s been host to pageants, the Miami Symphony and throngs of people looking to splash around in the country’s largest freshwater pool 


Biltmore Hotel
Guests of the historic Biltmore Hotel won’t find a more relaxing oasis in the city than the 23,000-square-foot pool. The storied locale was a favorite of “Hollywood Mermaid” Esther Williams, who frequently performed water shows at the hotel, and was where the original Tarzan served as lifeguard.


Conrad Miami
On the 13th floor of Conrad—amid a cluster of skyscrapers in Brickell, downtown Miami’s financial district—is this sanctuary overlooking Biscayne Bay. Beside the heated, three-lane pool, you’ll find tropical cabanas to relax in and a bar to quench your thirst. It’s open to hotel guests and those who book a spa treatment


You’re more likely to bump into a celebrity while lounging poolside at the Fontainebleau than you are anywhere else in Miami.
