Miami Beach Swim Week kicks off on July 19

Inspired by the swimwear fashion shows and want to suit up and top up your tan? Miami Beach is home to some of the most fashionable pool-side hangouts and beaches around.

The high-design oasis that is the HIGHBAR at the Dream South Beach Hotel offers spectacular 360° views of Miami Beach and its secluded seating areas give pool-goers the chance to relax in peace. For the best views of downtown Miami and the marina head to the Mondrian South Beach.

Uniquely designed by Marcel Wanders, Mondrian’s main swimming pool is surrounded by sun-soaked lounge pillows, lush gardens hung with hammocks and landscaped into a labyrinthine trail with lounge areas, secret pathways and “kissing corners.”

Already a celebrity hot spot, Miami Beach is expecting paparazzi frenzy at some favorite celeb hotspots including Prime One Twelve and quite appropriately, the pool at the Delano where Hollywood starlets strip down and cool off.

So while the rest of the country continues to struggle to find some relief from the heat, Miami Beach – for many reasons - is the coolest place to be in July.
