Above the Glitter

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Downtown Miami skyline from this studio apartment in a striking high-rise tower. The pool terrace above is the centrepiece – glass-sided, lined with sun loungers and cabanas, with an open-air bar where the city skyline stretches out in front of you. A Chopra Wellness Spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and casino-style sports lounge round out the building's amenities. When you want to venture out, South Beach is an eleven-minute drive, and Miami Worldcenter's shops and restaurants are a two-minute walk from the door.

Home truths:
* The studio has no separate bedroom – the sleeping and living areas share one open space, which suits a couple or solo traveller but means there's no privacy between the two of you if you're not travelling together.
* You'll have access to the on-site amenities such as the swimming pool, gym, and more. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
* Your host can provide a cot for little ones.
