Four Seasons at The Surf Club
A 1930s members' beach club, now framed by glass towers, on a broad and peaceful stretch of sand north of the Miami Beach crowds.
Here the beach is wide and the loudest sound is often the surf. Four Seasons has taken the old Surf Club, a private beach club from the 1930s, and built new towers in glass and white around it.
Between the buildings and the sea, the pools lie among palm trees and rows of white umbrellas. Surfside is a small, mostly residential town north of Mid-Beach, so the evenings stay calm and the streets are quiet after dark.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Four Seasons at The Surf Club
We picked this hotel for travellers who value peace and polished service over nightlife. The history of the club gives it character, and the stretch of sand in front is among the calmest you will find in the Miami area.
The restaurants of South Beach are far to the south, so evenings out mean a taxi each way. If you want to walk out of the door into bars and crowds, choose a hotel further down the coast.
