With the sun shining down and temperatures sizzling, it’s only right to make the most out of Miami’s pools this summer! We can already see it: towering palm trees swaying against the skyline while you cool off in a refreshing pool just steps away from the beach — or sky high on a rooftop.
A day at a hotel pool is calling your name, and you don’t even need to be a guest to enjoy all the perks! From retro oases to oceanfront retreats, here are the many pools with day passes that the city has to offer.
Novotel Miami Brickell

Perched on the 12th floor high above the city buzz, this pretty-in-pink rooftop oasis is perfect for settling into a poolside daybed or stretching in a shaded lounge area. As you bask in the skyline views, head to the Vista Rooftop Bar & Lounge for refreshing cocktails and delicious bites. Day passes grant you full access to the pool, their fully-equipped fitness center, Wi-Fi and complimentary parking.
The Gates Hotel South Beach

A much-needed respite from bustling South Beach, this tranquil waterfront oasis brings together icy piña coladas poolside with food and beverage service from Foxtails and Tambo Cocina & Cocktails. A day pass comes with sweet perks like free beach yoga, live entertainment and a one-hour EV bike rental. If you’re looking to level up, a Cabana Day Pass gets you a reclining daybed and a bottle of prosecco.
Solei Beach Club at Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel

Say hello to the city’s newest beach club for sipping and sunbathing! Located at the newly renovated Surfcomber Hotel, Solei Beach Club blends the laid-back charm of coastal Spain with Miami’s signature buzz. Snack on shareable Mediterranean plates and sip on golden hour cocktails while you unwind in a poolside cabana and listen to live DJs on weekends.
Arlo Wynwood

Nestled on the rooftop of this artsy hotel is a 76-foot heated pool serving up pure resort vibes! Soak up the sun’s rays while admiring bold murals like ThankYouX’s “Want to Be Reminded” or dance along to DJ-led day parties. As the whole crew kicks back, order a pitcher of classic or specialty cocktails alongside a spread of guac, wings, salads and more.
Baia Beach Club at Mondrian South Beach

The perfect Mediterranean getaway without actually getting away, this chic beach club serves up panoramic views from a tropical pool deck lined with cozy daybeds and oversized umbrellas. Have a sunny afternoon packed with feel-good music, poolside tacos and sliders, but if you want to pair your pool day with some serious self-care, check out their holistic spa complete with advanced therapies, yoga sessions and steam rooms.
The Elser Hotel & Residences

If you’re looking for a serious upgrade to your weekend pool day, look no further than this 19,000-square-foot rooftop deck right in the heart of downtown Miami. You’re in for some spectacular views of Biscayne Bay while lounging by the heated pool or soaking away your worries in the hot tub. Plus, you can order light bites and tempting libations right to your chair, or elevate your day with a Fitness Pass for their multi-level gym or a Day Room complete with a full kitchen and TV.
Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Autograph Collection

This summer, transport yourself to a world of vintage glamour at one of Miami’s original Art Deco hotels inspired by the Italian Riviera.

Of course, weekends are next level with two bars, bottle service and a revolving lineup of pool parties by top DJs.
National Hotel

Looking for an adults-only slice of paradise? Head to this Art Deco resort boasting a whopping 205-foot infinity-edge pool — the longest in South Beach and, at one point, the longest in all of Florida!
