Beat the Summer Heat in South Florida’s Most Luxurious Pools

South Florida may be home to sun and sand year-round, but it’s in the summertime that the tropical hotspot truly comes alive. As May turns to June and temperatures rise, the best way to take in the region’s summer air and city views is from the water. That’s why, during this time of year, one amenity stands out above the rest for luxury residence buyers—a one-of-a-kind pool. Boasting breathtaking views, relaxation, and luxurious lounging, here are some of the best pools at the most anticipated luxury residential projects coming to South Florida. 

2200 Brickell | Miami, Florida
This 105-residence boutique development is gearing up to set a new standard for robust city living along the historic Millionaire’s Row, and its selection of outdoor amenities is an integral part of the vision. In addition to a resort-style pool, the property’s one-acre rooftop haven also includes an outdoor spa with poolside cabanas and a summer kitchen with multiple seating areas, perfect for gathering with friends in the South Florida sun. 

E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami | Miami, Florida
Located in the heart of Miami’s District 11, E11EVEN Hotel & Residences Miami encapsulates the neighborhood’s flare for entertainment with features like celebrity-chef dining experiences and a casino-style sports lounge. The fun continues in the property’s 20,000-square-foot day club, where a stunning pool is found alongside an array of outdoor entertainment appointments, including fully furnished cabanas with flat-screen TVs, stages for live performances, and a multi-story LED screen. And when the concert is over, guests and residents can relax in the shade of a captivating poolside sculpture by South African artist Daniel Popper. 

La Baia North | Bay Harbor Islands, Florida 
La Baia North will bring summer fun for the whole family with an exclusive collection of 57 residences in Miami’s secluded Bay Harbor Islands.

Along with luxury essentials like private lounging areas, the pool also features breathtaking views of the District 11 skyline, Biscayne Bay, and the building’s stunning whale sculpture, which extends upward from the edge of the pool and reflects the glimmer of the water below.
