Day 1: Arrive & check in
Spa treatment room
Have your Fora Advisor (Me) arrange for early check-in. Enjoy a glass of champagne on your way up to your room or have the bell hop drop your bags and head right to the spa. I highly recommend an 80-minute stress relief massage. After your massage, follow the tried and true Ritz Spa "Bathing Ritual" by taking an infrared sauna, then a cold plunge, followed by a relaxing soak in the whirlpool. Do one more cold bath before heading to the eucalyptus steam shower. After, take a soak in the mineral pool before unwinding in the relaxation room.
Later, rest by the pool before taking a five-minute walk down the beach to have dinner in the sand at one of The Turtle Club's outdoor dining tables. With its gulf-front sunset view, turtle bread, a seafood platter, and the best carrot cake in south Florida, it's the perfect finishing touch to your day.
Day 2: Beach
View of the beach from Gumbo Limbo
After enjoying breakfast at Nolita, head down to the beach and tuck into one of the front-row beach chairs with umbrellas. Do not forget the SPF, but I recommend enjoying your day in the powder-white sand and in the gorgeous blue waters. You can walk up to Gumbo Limbo for lunch or simply buzz an attendant for chair service and never move from your favorite spot. The Watermelon Spritz is delicious, and they have a great lobster quesadilla. Finish up your day with dinner at The Grill, the on-site steakhouse featuring incredible dry-aged steaks.
Day 3: Pool time & check out
Poolside bungalows
Spend your final day at the pool enjoying pool service at the relaxing adults-only pool, or splash and play with the kids at the Ritz family pool.
Need to know
Book the Club Level if it fits the budget. The newly redesigned Club Lounge in the Vanderbilt Tower is one of the property’s standout features after the renovation. You’ll get five daily food presentations, concierge assistance, quieter lounge space, and premium drinks and snacks throughout the day. For families, it can actually offset food costs significantly.
