No time for the tropics? Head to south Florida instead, where the gorgeous setting provided by Turnberry Isle Miami resort and spa (part of the exclusive Autograph Collection hotels) will make you feel a million miles away. There’s a Bali-meets-southern Europe ambience to the property, expressed via the large koi pond at the entrance, airy open walkways, 100-year-old banyan tree and lush gardens around every corner. Planned as a luxurious private community back in 1967, the estate-like property exists within the small town of Adventura, a short drive from Miami, and has been the setting for numerous films and television programs. Both LPGA and PGA golf tournaments are regularly hosted on the resort’s rolling greens, with two 18-hole courses: the Soffer and Miller. The championship courses were originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and were later updated and refined by golf legend Raymond Floyd. Accommodations, which include 398 pet-friendly, smoke-free guestrooms and suites, are divided among the Hibiscus, Jasmine, Magnolia and Orchid guest towers, named for the seductive flowers found in the many gardens. All rooms have private balconies or terraces that overlook the golf course, deep gardens or glittering pools. Dining choices abound, but don’t miss dinner at Corsair Kitchen & Bar, where you can watch Chef Gordon Mayberry (formerly of Arizona Biltmore Waldorf Astoria Resort and The Peninsula New York) and his culinary team at work in the open kitchen. Home to extensive meeting and event space, Turnberry Isle also has an expansive, full-service spa located in its own building. The tranquil 25,000-square-foot haven has 27 treatments rooms, accessed by a fabulous winding staircase beneath a glass dome. Spain’s award-winning Natura Bissé and the Parisian Thémae skincare lines are featured. The spa’s Optimal Wellness Program includes customized health plans created by Ellen Lebow, MD, and Michael Braun, MD. World therapies, cultural massages and themed rituals round out a menu of body treatments, facials and soothing therapies. The resort is convenient to the international cruise port, making it the perfect spot to unwind pre- or post-ocean journey.
