Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau is the water-themed hotel spa of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach resort, located at 4441 Collins Avenue in the Mid-Beach district of Miami Beach, Florida. The Fontainebleau is one of the best-known landmarks on the beach, designed by Morris Lapidus and opened in 1954, and the spa carries a name that nods to that architect. Inside, the spa is a calm retreat from the large, lively resort around it, with treatment rooms, relaxation lounges and a dedicated water therapy area.
The signature feature is the water therapy circuit, which moves visitors through a sequence of hydrotherapy experiences and is often used before or after a treatment. The menu also covers massage, facials, body treatments and salon services such as hair, manicure and pedicure, so the spa works as a single stop for a full pampering day. Massages start at about $240 and facials at about $230, with sessions generally running 60 to 120 minutes.
As a major resort spa, Lapis employs licensed massage therapists and estheticians, as required for professional practice in Florida, and it has long been regarded as one of the principal destination spas on Miami Beach. Facilities include the hydrotherapy circuit, steam and sauna areas, quiet lounges and access to the resort's fitness offerings, and the spa is within easy reach of the resort's pools and beachfront.
Booking is by reservation, and advance booking is advisable on weekends, holidays and during the busy winter season. The treatment menu is typically reviewed when booking, and the spa lists daily opening hours of about 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though current hours and any day-access arrangements should be checked with the resort at 305-538-2000 or on its website. Hotel guests and non-guests booking treatments are usually accommodated, with policies set by the resort.
