Emena Spa Miami

The Design District’s first spa is, unlike the DD, quaint. The boutique-size space offers top-notch massages, facials, and waxing. Sneak out during work for a 25-minute Power Plate class.

Brownes & Co. Miami

It’s teaming with beauty products: fancy imported soap, expensive candles, botanical shampoos. This is where you want gifts from. The upstairs houses the spa and nail salon. It’s pricey but good.

RikRak Salon Miami

A swank Brickell spa, where the ladies gossip and drink at the in-house bar while getting glammed. The pros here do a stellar — if spendy — job with nails and hair (styling and removing). Peruse the boutique’s selection while your toes dry.

Spa at Shore Club Miami

C’mon, kids. It’s the Shore Club — the spa is swank. Get a fancy detox treatment, an aromatherapy salt scrub, or a champage soak. It’s all good. Of course, there’re manis/pedis, facials, and the like.
