The Most Romantic Weekend Getaways in the US
"What’s to love: In between the neon-trimmed Art Deco mainstays of South Beach rises this soothing, nature-inspired hotel that delivers a holistic retox-detox Miami fantasy—with a welcomed, eco-conscious slant. Look forward to a sprawling warm-weather escape rife with the most picture-perfect expanses, from an eye-catching lobby, anchored by a triple-story, moss-strewn living wall to 600 feet of full-service linear beachfront to Miami Beach’s largest rooftop swimming pool (fronting a primo Miami see-and-be-seen restaurant, Watr at the Rooftop). The 1’s guest rooms and suites are both vacation and staycation romance gold; they’re unexpectedly large, starting at 550 square feet, many with ocean-view balconies, and all featuring floor-to-ceiling glass doors or windows plus open floor plans. Adding to the buzz is a 100% carbon-neutral mantra, which manifests through the likes of recycled pine headboards, clothes hangers made from recycled paper, and in-room water filters, proving that sustainability and luxury can beautifully coexist. Romance factor: Fitness-driven couples will appreciate the advanced wellness programming (glute camp and metabolic meltdown are two favorites), an on-site Soul Cycle studio, and the cutting-edge Anatomy Gym. Recharged and renewed, head to Tala Beach, Miami’s best feet-in-the-sand restaurant/bar, located directly on the 1’s swathe of beach; it’s a Mediterranean-inspired reverie of driftwood furniture and cozy day beds planted in the sands among sea grapes, towering palms, and potted succulents that could make anyone swoon. Get there: A 20-minute ride from Miami International Airport" - Paul Rubio
