Fontainebleau Miami Beach spa: Lapis Spa’s water rooms, treatment prices and who gets in

The hotel’s wellness page says the spa was modelled on the hammams of Marrakech, and what that means in practice is that the water comes first. The brochure lists the Essence Mineral Co-Ed Pool, 75 feet long, jetted and kept at 92°F, with a suggested stay of 10 to 20 minutes; the Immersion Mineral Jet Bath, at 104°F, for 7 to 10 minutes; and the Eucalyptus Infusion Steam. Its suggested circuits add the Bleau Rain Room, an Energy Deluge shower and what it calls hammam benches, with fruit and juice between rounds.

Nobody simply walks in. The spa’s guidelines say every guest must buy «a 50-minute spa service or package» to use the facilities, and that a salon appointment does not qualify. Hotel guests without an appointment «can enjoy the facilities for an additional fee», which the page leaves unpriced. With a booking the water is included, and the spa advises arriving 30 minutes ahead to change and shower, or an hour and more to do the water circuit first.

The hotel’s pages and brochure describe the treatments without prices; the figures here are from the booking site, where we read 3 lists, massages, Ayurvedic rituals and facials. Its body-treatment list and the couples’ treatments did not load, so this page prices neither. On 11 October 2026 the Revitalizing Swedish Massage was $195 for 50 minutes, $265 for 80 and $335 for 100. The Masters Massage, which blends Swedish, deep tissue and hot stones, was $225, $295 and $400; Deep Muscle Therapy $230, $300 and $375; Hot Rocks $230 or $300. Mommy’s Bliss, for the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, was $205 or $275. The Tranquility Pro Sleep Massage, sold for jet lag and worked with soft brushes, was $249, $319 and $389.

The Ayurvedic rituals cost $210 for 50 minutes and $275 for 80: Abhyanga with warm herbal oils, a Chakra Balancing Massage that uses lapis lazuli crystals and a Kansa wand, and Abhyanga Shirodhara, 80 minutes with oil poured over the forehead. Facials start at $230 for 50 minutes and $299 for 80, whether Brightening & Resurfacing or Oxygenating Glow, the one scented with chocolate and marshmallow; the 80-minute Firming & Lifting Facial, with dermaplaning, is $375.

Then comes the bill. The spa’s page says prices exclude a 20% service charge and tax, and the brochure adds that the 20% goes to the staff as part of their pay, with a further gratuity left to the guest. On our arithmetic the $195 massage is $234 before tax. Add-ons such as hot rocks on the back or a foot scrub are $35 each and the Theragun add-on $50. The booking site was also showing «Spa Month Extended» prices: a CBD Swedish massage or a Radiance Revival facial, 50 minutes each, at $168, which it describes as 30% off.

For 2, the Bleau Paradise Ritual lasts 100 minutes in one of the oceanfront spa suites the brochure names Indigo and Azure: a scented soak for 2, a long massage, a paraffin treatment for the feet and a scalp massage. Couples’ treatments are booked by telephone, the treatment list says. The same list has a 30-minute Celestial Waters Passport through the jet bath, the shower and the mineral pool; the booking pages we opened showed no price for it.

Of the 2,000 Google reviews we hold, 33 mention the spa or a treatment, on our count, and they pull 2 ways. «Spa is incredible», wrote a guest in March 2026; another, in May 2025, called it «absolutely gorgeous, my only complaint is that it closes at 6pm». In September 2026 a guest on a third visit for «spa month» wrote that amenities which «used to be top notch were closed down» and that an appointment with the esthetician was cancelled an hour before; a second, comparing with 2019, found «the better half» of the amenities missing. A day visitor in August 2026 had «a wonderful experience» and then an $80 valet charge for collecting the car 15 minutes past the 5 hours.

Lapis puts its guests in one pool together, in swimsuits. The Setai does the opposite: 7 treatment rooms, 5 of them couples’ suites, with dry saunas, steam showers and a cold plunge kept inside the men’s and women’s locker rooms, and Valmont products throughout.

Faena gives a size, which Lapis does not: 22,000 square feet on its third floor, under the name Tierra Santa Healing House, with a hammam; its page listed one evening ritual there, on 19 October 2026. Carillon, which calls itself a wellness resort, lists salt float baths and cryotherapy beside its massages.
